Papra

Free (self-hosted) · Managed Free: Free · Plus: $8 per month, annual ($9 monthly) · Pro: $25 per month, annual ($30 monthly)
- we want every receipt and supplier invoice forwarded to one address, OCR'd, tagged, and searchable before month-end without paying per user
- we want our agent to file documents and pull the ones tagged for the accountant through an API key rather than a shared drive
2 more jobs are undetermined.
- AGPL-3.0
- Archive, not ledger: no amounts, no double-entry; pair with an accounting listing
- Email intake needs OwlRelay or a catch-all domain wired to a webhook
- Managed Free plan is 512MB and 3 members
Well
Supplier-invoice retrieval and ledger data behind one official MCP endpoint and CLI; MIT toolkit repo.
Free (private beta): Free · Toolkit repo
- month-end means logging into fifteen supplier portals to download invoices and we want that done for us and queryable from our agent
- we want our agent to list unpaid supplier invoices and fix vendor details from the terminal, then hand a clean export to the accountant
- Retrieve invoices from supplier portals
- Export to QuickBooks, Xero, UBL
- Teach a new portal blueprint
1 more job is undetermined.
- Private beta; pricing after beta is unpublished
- Retrieval only works in Chrome; the MCP sees what the extension has already captured
- Repo is a toolkit around a closed hosted backend, not the product source
- French-market accents (compte de resultat, Factur-X) in the skills
