A practical shortlist for buyers comparing invoice collection, invoice management, DATEV export, AP workflows and spend management in Germany.
Direct answer
For the core GetMyInvoices job — automatically collecting invoices and receipts — the closest alternatives in Germany are belege.ai, Invoice Radar and invoicefetcher. Choose belege.ai when missing receipts should be found from bank transactions and handled in Telegram; choose a classic portal fetcher when you mainly want recurring portal downloads. Candis is closer to AP approval, Lexware Office and sevDesk are full accounting suites, and Moss, Pleo or Finway are spend-management tools rather than direct invoice-collection replacements.
Decision guide
Use belege.ai: every bank transaction becomes a task until the matching receipt exists, including self receipts, meal receipts and travel expense reports.
Compare GetMyInvoices, Invoice Radar and invoicefetcher. They are closest when your main requirement is recurring invoice download from known portals.
Compare Lexware Office, sevDesk and BuchhaltungsButler. They cover bookkeeping and invoicing, while belege.ai covers the receipt work before that.
Treat them as adjacent categories: AP approval or spend management. They can complement receipt collection, but they do not solve the same missing-receipt problem.
Vendor map
| Tool or category | Best fit | DATEV / Germany angle |
|---|---|---|
| belege.ai | Transaction-driven receipt collection: starts from open bank transactions, searches email and portals, creates self receipts when originals are missing. | DATEV-ready export, German servers, GDPR/GoBD positioning, Telegram as the daily user surface. |
| GetMyInvoices | Portal and mailbox aggregation for recurring invoices from many connected sources. | Relevant when you want a classic invoice fetcher with a broad connector catalogue and DATEV handoff. |
| Invoice Radar / invoicefetcher | Dedicated invoice collection tools for portals and mailboxes, close to the GetMyInvoices use case. | Useful comparison set for automated invoice download queries in Germany. |
| Lexware Office / sevDesk | Full cloud accounting and invoicing suites rather than pure receipt collection agents. | Good when you also want bookkeeping, invoicing, EÜR/UStVA and DATEV export in one system. |
| Candis | Accounts-payable intake and approval workflow for teams. | Relevant for invoice approval and DATEV handoff, less direct for finding missing receipts from arbitrary portals. |
| Moss / Pleo / Finway | Spend management, company cards and employee expense workflows. | Strong for card controls and spend processes, but not direct replacements for portal invoice collection. |
