The short answer: converting bank statements to CSV costs anywhere from $0.015 to over $0.65 per statement in 2026, and the spread comes down to one question — are you billed per page or per document? Statements average 3–8 pages, so per-page pricing quietly multiplies your bill by the average statement length.

The pricing landscape
| Vendor | Billing unit | Entry plan | Effective cost per 5-page statement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Parseur | Per page | $99/mo — 1,000 pages | ~$0.50 |
| Mindee | Per page | €44/mo — 500 pages | ~€0.44 |
| Docparser | Credits (scale with pages) | from $39/mo | ~$0.39 (approx.) |
| Sensible | Per document | $499/mo — 750 docs | ~$0.67 |
| ASHDOCS | Flat 3 credits per statement | $49/mo — unlimited extraction | ~$0.015 |
The last row needs explaining, because it looks too cheap: ASHDOCS charges a flat 3 credits per statement regardless of page count, and the Growth plan ($49/month) includes 10,000 credits with no separate extraction cap. Run 1,000 statements and you've used 3,000 credits — under a third of the monthly allowance, with 7,000 credits left for invoice generation or conversions.
Why per-page billing hurts statements specifically
Invoices are usually one page. Statements aren't — a business checking account easily produces 6–10 pages a month. On page-priced platforms your "1,000 pages" plan is really a 125–160 statement plan. Teams discover this in month two, after the migration is done.
Three things to verify on any vendor's pricing page:
- The billing unit — page, document, or flat credit.
- Failure policy — scanned statements fail more than digital ones; you shouldn't pay for a parse that returned garbage. (ASHDOCS refunds every failed job automatically.)
- Output formats — CSV is table stakes; QBO/OFX export saves an import step if the destination is QuickBooks or Xero.
Accuracy: the reconciliation check
Price means nothing if the numbers are wrong. The strongest automatic quality signal for statements is a reconciliation check: opening balance + sum(transactions) must equal closing balance. ASHDOCS runs this on every parse and flags mismatches in the response, so you review the 2% that need eyes instead of spot-checking everything. Ask any vendor you evaluate whether they do the same.
The math at three volumes
| Monthly statements | Parseur (per page) | Sensible (per doc) | ASHDOCS Growth |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 (≈500 pages) | $99 | $499 | $49 |
| 1,000 (≈5,000 pages) | $399 | $1,499 | $49 |
| 10,000 (≈50,000 pages) | custom | custom | $249 (Scale) |
Try it against your own statements
The free tier includes extraction credits every month and unlimited sandbox parsing — enough to run last month's statements through bank-statement-to-csv and diff the output against your current vendor before moving anything. A full feature comparison with Parseur is in the comparison hub.
FAQ
How much does it cost to convert a bank statement to Excel via API? Between $0.015 (flat-credit platforms like ASHDOCS) and $0.65+ (per-document platforms like Sensible) per statement in 2026. Per-page vendors land in between, multiplied by your average statement length.
Do these tools work on scanned statements? Yes — every vendor in the table runs OCR on image-based PDFs. Accuracy drops with scan quality, which is why a failure-refund policy and a reconciliation check matter.
Can extraction output go straight to QuickBooks? ASHDOCS exports QBO and OFX natively alongside CSV/XLSX. On other platforms check whether you need a CSV-to-QBO conversion step in between.
