TL;DR

  • belege.ai reverses the usual direction: every payment on the business account should have a receipt, and where there is none, the agent fetches it from the mailbox or the portal.
  • Pricing is €19 to €199 per month according to the pricing page, tiered by documents.
  • Posting is not included in the receipt plans. The Accounting Autopilot add-on costs from €199 per month per company.
  • A comparison with GetMyInvoices and Heft, our own receipt agent, is in GetMyInvoices Alternative: Heft und belege.ai im Vergleich (in German).

What belege.ai Does Well

The approach is strong and should not be dismissed as marketing. Instead of waiting for receipts to trickle in, the agent starts at the bank transactions. That makes it clear from the start which payment still has no receipt. For portals, belege.ai uses a browser agent that can also handle new portals.

It is operated via Telegram, with text, photo, or voice message, or via a Mac app. For self-employed people who photograph receipts on the go anyway, that is a very short path.

Handover goes to DATEV, Lexware Office, and sevDesk.

What belege.ai Costs

According to the pricing page, on monthly billing, as of 2026-09-28:

PlanPrice per monthDocuments per month
Essential€1925
Plus€3950
Growth€59100
Professional€99200
Advanced€199500

The first 10 receipts found are free.

On top of that comes the Accounting Autopilot add-on from €199 per month per company. It posts routine cases directly in Lexware, sevDesk, or DATEV.

What that means for a normal month: with 100 to 150 receipts you pay €59 or €99. If you also want the receipts posted, you pay at least €199 on top.

What to Know Beforehand

The agent needs access to your portals. A browser agent that fetches invoices from portals has to be able to log in there, including with a two-factor code. Clarify beforehand how that works for portals that also hold payment details or contracts.

Price depends on documents. If you are near a plan's limit, busy months push you into the next one.

Receipts and posting are billed separately. The receipt plan prepares; posting happens only with the add-on or, as before, at your tax firm.

belege.ai, GetMyInvoices, and Heft

belege.ai is available today and, like Heft, starts at the bank account. GetMyInvoices starts at the portals and has the most ready-made connections. Heft is our own receipt agent and is still in development: it starts at the bank account, finds the missing receipt for each payment (mailbox, e-invoices, portals), and hands it over to DATEV or your accountant.

How the three differ is covered in the comparison GetMyInvoices Alternative: Heft und belege.ai im Vergleich (in German).

Heft’s planned receipt agent
