And while we obviously gave ourselves a nice spot on the list, we also included all the other AP automation tools we could find, with the information we could find about their features, pricing and opportunities to try the platform.
Take a leisurely look through the list of AP automation tools and find out which one is best for you.
Do you have a construction company? Then we dare to say that our software (Listo) is the best solution for you, because our software is developed specifically for you.

How do I select the best AP automation software for my business?
We get this question a lot and here is a comprehensive step by step guide.
- Create a shortlist based on functionality and industry match using the list below
- Start a trial to see it for yourself. They don’t offer a trial? Is that because they are too hard to use? Too expensive?
- Check the pricing. Is it compatible with your budget. They don’t list pricing? If you love talking to sales that may be great but if you want to see if it fits your budget first perhaps you should skip them. Is the pricing model compatible with yours? Some products charge per user some charge per transaction, the latter could be cost prohibitive if you have large numbers of invoices.
- Talk to the company. How is it talking to them, are they easy to approach? Responsive? This will give you a taste of how the support is going to be once you are a client
- Contract term. Can you start with a month to month option so you can quit if it doesn’t work out well?
- Integrations. Does the product integrate with your accounting system?
- Invoice recognition. How well and how quick does the AP software you are evaluating convert the invoice to text that you can use in your accounting system? Is it automated or a manual process? How accurate is it?
- Authorization workflows. Do you need multiple people to authorize invoices before you pay them?
Well, let’s get started. 🚀
