Short answer
Choose Tailride if most of your invoices arrive by email or from common SaaS portals, you want unlimited portal connections and bank reconciliation included, and you care about cost per document ($19/month for 75 invoices vs €19/month for 20).
Choose GetMyInvoices if you are a German business that needs native lexoffice or sevDesk sync, GoBD-compliant archiving, or if you prefer pre-built connectors for thousands of niche portals over teaching an extension yourself.
What is GetMyInvoices?
GetMyInvoices is a German invoice management platform that automatically downloads invoices and receipts from more than 10,000 online portals, connected email inboxes, and its mobile app. It is one of the most established tools in the DACH market: documents are archived in compliance with German GoBD accounting principles, and it ships native integrations with DATEV, lexoffice, and sevDesk.
Plans are sized by monthly document volume and by how many portal connections, email accounts, bank accounts, and users you can attach.
Where GetMyInvoices has the edge
An honest comparison starts with what GetMyInvoices genuinely does well. It is the better choice when:
10,000+ pre-built portal connectors
GetMyInvoices has the largest pre-built portal catalogue in this category, including many German utilities, insurers and telecom providers — zero setup for supported portals. Tailride ships 100+ pre-built portal integrations; any other portal can be taught to its extension, but that is a one-time setup you do yourself.
lexoffice and sevDesk hand-off
GetMyInvoices ships native connections to lexoffice and sevDesk and a direct DATEV transfer. Tailride covers DATEV with a compliant XML export (including the invoice PDFs) that your Steuerberater imports, but has no native lexoffice or sevDesk sync.
GoBD-compliant archiving and e-invoicing
If GoBD-compliant archiving or formal e-invoice (E-Rechnung) reception is a requirement for your business, this is core GetMyInvoices functionality.
Built-in approval workflows
GetMyInvoices offers an optional workflow module (€9–139/month depending on plan) with multi-step document approval routing. Tailride does not focus on approval workflows.
Where Tailride wins
More generous connection limits
Every Tailride plan — including the free tier — includes unlimited web portals and unlimited bank reconciliation. Connected email accounts scale by plan (2 on Free and Starter, 8 on Growth, 20 on Scale, unlimited from Premium), and at each price point you get more than GetMyInvoices: their €19 Essential includes 1 email account, 5 portal connections and no bank accounts, and their €99 Professional includes 10 email accounts where Tailride's $99 Scale includes 20.
Roughly 4× more documents per euro at entry level
Tailride's $19/month Starter processes 75 invoices; GetMyInvoices' €19/month Essential processes 20 documents. At mid-tier, Tailride Growth is $49/month for 350 invoices, while GetMyInvoices Professional is €99/month for 200 documents.
Retroactive email scanning
Tailride scans years of existing inbox history the moment you connect an account and recovers historical invoices automatically. GetMyInvoices collects documents going forward; backfilling history is manual.
MFA-resilient portal fetching
GetMyInvoices fetches portal documents via cloud scraping with stored credentials, and connectors can break when suppliers change their sites or require multi-factor authentication. Tailride's browser extension fetches invoices inside your own logged-in session, so MFA prompts, CAPTCHAs and portal redesigns don't strand your invoices in a broken connector.
Custom and intranet portals
Tailride's extension is teachable: you can show it how to extract invoices from virtually any portal it doesn't cover out of the box — including internal intranet systems, which cloud scrapers like GetMyInvoices' can never reach because they run outside your network.
AI document understanding instead of OCR
GetMyInvoices extracts data with OCR, which reads characters but relies on recognising known layouts — accuracy drops on unusual templates, and misreads mean manual correction. Tailride processes every document with AI models that understand invoices semantically, so vendor names, dates, totals and line items are extracted accurately even from layouts it has never seen before.
Customisable AI processing rules
Tailride lets you steer the AI with your own plain-language rules — how to categorise documents from a given vendor, which fields matter to you, or how to handle edge cases specific to your business. GetMyInvoices' OCR pipeline is fixed: you get the fields its templates were built to read.
AI extraction from email bodies
Tailride extracts structured data from HTML email bodies, PDFs and images, and can follow invoice links in emails that carry no attachment at all (Stripe receipt links today, with more providers on the way). Many modern SaaS receipts never arrive as a PDF attachment.
A permanent free tier
Tailride is free for up to 10 invoices per month indefinitely. GetMyInvoices offers a 14-day trial only.

Pricing compared (as of July 2026)
GetMyInvoices pricing (net, billed monthly) is: Essential €19/month (20 documents, 5 portals, 1 email account, no bank accounts), Small €39 (50 documents), Standard €59 (80 documents), Professional €99 (200 documents) and Advanced €179 (500 documents), with enterprise packages from €499/month. The approval workflow module is a paid add-on, and annual billing saves about 5%.
Tailride is free for 10 invoices per month, then $19/month for 75, $49 for 350, $99 for 750 and $199 for 1,500 — every plan with unlimited web portals and bank reconciliation included, connected email accounts scaling from 2 to unlimited by plan, and roughly two months free on annual billing.
A worked example
A business processing around 75 invoices per month across 2 inboxes and a dozen portals needs the GetMyInvoices Standard plan at €59/month (€708/year) to cover 80 documents, 25 portal connections and 5 email accounts. Tailride Starter covers the same workload at $19/month ($190/year billed annually), including both inboxes and unlimited portal connections — roughly a quarter of the cost.

Frequently asked questions
How much does GetMyInvoices cost in 2026?
From €19/month (net) for 20 documents and 5 portal connections, up to €179/month for 500 documents; enterprise packages start at €499/month. The approval workflow module costs extra (€9–139/month), and annual billing saves about 5%.
Is there a free GetMyInvoices alternative?
Tailride has a permanent free plan for up to 10 invoices per month, including 2 connected email accounts, unlimited portals and bank reconciliation. GetMyInvoices offers a 14-day trial only.
Why do GetMyInvoices portal connections break?
Credential-based cloud scraping must be updated whenever a supplier changes its website or adds two-factor authentication. Tailride avoids this class of failure by fetching through a browser extension inside your own logged-in session.
Can I use Tailride alongside GetMyInvoices?
Yes. A common pattern during migration is keeping GetMyInvoices for its lexoffice or sevDesk sync while Tailride handles email extraction and bank matching; most teams consolidate after one billing cycle.
Does Tailride integrate with DATEV?
Yes. Tailride exports your invoices as a DATEV-compliant XML package (ledger import format, optionally with the invoice PDFs included) that your Steuerberater imports directly into DATEV. Native lexoffice and sevDesk sync is where GetMyInvoices still has the edge.
Can Tailride extract invoices from portals it doesn't support yet?
Yes. Tailride's browser extension is teachable: you can show it how to extract invoices from virtually any portal — including internal intranet systems that cloud-scraping tools cannot reach — and it fetches them automatically from then on.
What about emails that only contain a link to the invoice, not an attachment?
Tailride can follow the invoice link inside the email and download the document from the website. Stripe receipt links are supported today, and more providers are being added.
Will I lose my old invoices if I switch?
No. Tailride's retroactive scan rebuilds your archive from your existing inbox history, and you should export your GetMyInvoices archive before cancelling.
