ProperConvert alternative: convert statements in the browser
ProperSoft’s ProperConvert is a desktop app that converts finance files between formats on your own computer, sold as a subscription with no page limits. Statement Converter AI does the same job in the browser: upload a PDF statement or scan, pick the format, download the file, and pay only for the pages you convert.

When ProperConvert is the better fit
If you convert hundreds of statements a month, an unlimited subscription costs less than paying per page. If client files must stay on your own machine, or you work offline, a desktop converter meets that requirement directly. ProperConvert also writes IIF for QuickBooks Desktop, which Statement Converter AI does not.
When Statement Converter AI is the better fit
If you convert a statement now and then, paying for the pages you use is cheaper than a monthly licence, and the first pages are free. Nothing is installed, so it works on a Mac, a PC, a Chromebook or a phone. It reads PDF statements, scanned ones included, and writes the file for QuickBooks, Quicken, Xero, Tally or a budgeting app like YNAB.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free alternative to ProperConvert?
Statement Converter AI converts the first 3 pages of your first upload free, with no account. After that it is $0.20 a page with a $3.90 minimum, and no subscription.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Everything happens in the browser: upload the statement, pick the output, download the file.
Can it make a QBO file for QuickBooks?
Yes. Choose QBO in the format menu for QuickBooks Online. IIF is not offered.
Is my statement kept?
No. The uploaded file is deleted once the transactions have been read, and results are only reachable through your private link.
Which is cheaper, ProperConvert or Statement Converter AI?
It depends on volume. For occasional statements, paying per page is cheaper than $19.99 a month. For hundreds of statements a month, ProperConvert’s unlimited plan wins.
