Looking for a mobile app that scans paper invoices and forwards them automatically to your accounting software? In Slovenia there are several options — each with strengths and weaknesses. Here’s an honest 2026 comparison of 6 apps including pricing, supported programs and when to pick which one.
What to look for in an invoice-scanning app
Before you compare, check these 5 things — they decide whether the app actually saves you time:
- Support for your accounting program. Minimax, Birokrat, Pantheon, SAOP, E-računi, Metakocka — each has its own import email. The app must know how to send to that address.
- Capture speed. From the moment you pull out the phone to confirmed send: ideally 5–10 seconds.
- Photo optimisation. The image must be ready for OCR — compressed, sharp, undistorted. Bad apps send a 5 MB JPEG that the OCR can’t handle.
- Archive and search. Sometimes you need to verify whether you sent a particular invoice. Without an archive that’s impossible.
- Price. Free plans have caps — check how many invoices you actually send per month and compare with the subscription.
1. Slikaj Račun (recommended for Slovenia)
Price: free up to 3 invoices/month, €6.99/month for unlimited, €17.99/month for PRO (multiple companies).
Supported programs: Minimax, Birokrat, Pantheon, SAOP, E-računi, Metakocka — and any accounting program with email-based invoice import.
Pros:
- Built in Slovenia for Slovenian accounting programs — UI and support in Slovenian (and English).
- iOS and Android apps, plus a web version for desktop.
- The PRO plan supports unlimited companies with separate OCR addresses (ideal for accounting firms).
- Archive with preview and search, no time limits.
- Automatic image compression to a size that OCR reads correctly.
Cons:
- Young service (launched 2026) — smaller user base than the established international competitors.
- Free plan capped at 3 invoices/month.
2. Microsoft Lens + manual sending
Price: free.
Pros:
- Free forever.
- Excellent scan quality (auto-crop, perspective correction).
Cons:
- Doesn’t send to your accounting program automatically — you must save the scan, then manually attach it to an email and send.
- No sent-invoice archive.
- No multi-company support.
3. Adobe Scan + email
Price: free with an Adobe account, premium €9.99/month.
Pros:
- Best PDF generator from photos on the market.
- OCR included in the app (premium).
Cons:
- Manual sending again — Adobe doesn’t know which accounting program you use.
- Optimised for office scanning, not quick on-the-go invoice photos.
- Premium is expensive, free is capped.
4. Dext (international competitor)
Price: ~€24/month (Pro plan).
Pros:
- Own OCR engine in the app — independent of the accounting program.
- Integrations with QuickBooks, Xero, Sage.
Cons:
- No Slovenian UI or support.
- Doesn’t integrate with Minimax, Birokrat or Pantheon — built for foreign markets.
- Price is roughly 3× Slikaj Račun.
5. ReceiptBank / Hubdoc
Price: Hubdoc is included with Xero subscriptions.
Pros / cons: Mostly irrelevant for the Slovenian market — most users run Minimax / Birokrat / Pantheon, not Xero.
6. Sending via your regular email client
Price: free.
Technically every phone can do this: photograph → open Mail / Gmail → attach photo → type the OCR address → send.
Cons:
- Each send takes 30–60 s (manual address typing!).
- The image isn’t compressed — OCR may reject it (too many MB).
- No archive of sent invoices.
- If you have multiple companies: change the address every time.
