Honestly: if all you ever need is a supplier name and a total, Xero's free capture is fine. GO Docs is for books where every line, VAT rate and project matters — and for the accountants who are liable for them.
Prices exclude VAT. Accountant or bookkeeper? See practice pricing — your clients use GO Docs free.
One sign-in, every client. Clients grant your practice access from inside their own workspace — their receipts arrive already extracted, coded to their own chart of accounts, and VAT-checked, so review replaces re-keying. Client-controlled, revocable any time, every workspace fully separated.
Every client in one list, combined review queue.
The same portal, more client workspaces.
Then £2.50 per client beyond 50.
Your clients use GO Docs free — the free tier is never metered by client count. Compare Dext at roughly £391/month for 50 clients.
GO Docs connects through Xero's own secure sign-in (OAuth). You grant access on Xero's consent screen, the scope is exactly what you approve, and you can revoke it from your Xero settings at any time.
Each organisation's receipts, contacts and settings are locked to its own members by per-record access rules. No other business on GO Docs can ever see your data.
Your practice only sees your workspace if you grant it access — and revoking takes effect immediately. All practice access is logged.
Everything is encrypted in transit. Disconnect Xero or close your account whenever you like, and we delete your receipt data on request — see our Privacy Policy.
Uploads pause until next month — nothing is deleted, and everything already captured keeps syncing. Upgrade to Pro (£9/month, 100 receipts) whenever you're ready.
Nothing reaches Xero without your say-so. Every line shows its suggested category and VAT rate for you to confirm or change before posting, VAT that doesn't reconcile with the receipt total is flagged, and your corrections teach the app so the same supplier is right next time.
No. You sign in on Xero's own page and approve access on Xero's consent screen. GO Docs posts bills and spend-money transactions with the scope you granted — and you can cut it off from inside Xero at any time.
Only if you invite your practice from your Connection page. You can see the access status there and revoke it at any time, effective immediately.
Yes — receipt lines can be assigned to your Xero projects and tracking categories, and they carry through to the synced transaction. That's something Xero's free capture doesn't do.
Not yet — today you confirm each receipt, which is quick when the lines arrive pre-coded. Bulk approve and duplicate detection are next on the roadmap.
Create your account, connect Xero, and snap the receipt in your pocket — all before the kettle boils.
