What the table shows
Five of the 26 converters checked in October 2026 sell pages you pay for once and publish an Excel export on their own homepage or pricing page: stmtai, CapyParse, StatementToBudget, CleanStmt and StatementTable. A freelancer converts a year of statements once, in January, into a spreadsheet to split business from personal; a monthly plan that resets is the wrong shape for that. One current account and one card is typical, sometimes a separate account you opened for the business and then only half used. You added it up twice and got two different totals, and you do not know which one to trust. CleanStmt lists $19/month for 500 pages; $39/month for 1,200; $79/month for 3,000; credit packs at $19, $39 and $69 valid 12 months; all export formats and batch on paid plans; StatementToBudget lists Pro and Bookkeeper monthly plans and a Page Pack whose credits do not expire; a single file can be unlocked for $9.99; the plan figures are not readable in the fetched text. FlowParse and EasyLedger do not say on the pages read whether they sell pages you pay for once and publish an Excel export, so they are left out rather than guessed. stmtai is in the list on the same terms, and so are its limits: 12-file batch cap, no MT940, BAI2 or camt.053 input, no analytics. Every cell below names the page it was read from; a value the site does not show is printed as not published.
- Tally XML. TallyPrime XML export: Receipt and Payment vouchers for Alt+O import, alongside Excel, CSV, QuickBooks and Xero.
- Non-expiring pack. $19 buys 100 pages that never expire, and no statement is charged more than 15 pages.
- API and email-in. REST API and email-in on every plan, including the free one.
- Your file. Deletion of your file starts when processing ends; results are kept 7 days with an account, 1 day without.
- Balance check. There is no per-bank template: every row is added up against the opening and closing balances printed on the statement, and a misread is flagged, not hidden. How the balance check works

Questions
Which of these can I try free?
Five of the 5 listed publish a free tier rather than a trial. stmtai: 5 pages with no account, then 10 pages a month with a free account; every export included. CapyParse: 10 free pages on the Free plan, no expiry, no credit card; CSV, Excel and QBO export. StatementToBudget: 3 pages free with no signup. CleanStmt: 2 pages a day with no signup, 6 a day with a free account; copy, Excel and CSV exports; files wiped in 1 hour. StatementTable: 10 pages a day during the launch offer (normally 3), no account, no card, every export format.
Does stmtai sell pages you pay for once and publish an Excel export?
Yes, as the table shows from this site's own pages. The things it does not do are listed too: 12-file batch cap, no MT940, BAI2 or camt.053 input, no analytics. The first 5 pages need no account, so the quickest check is to drop a statement in below and look at the result.
How were the tools chosen?
Each tool's homepage and pricing page were read in October 2026 and the values copied into one table with the URL they came from. A tool appears here when those pages state that it sells pages you pay for once and publishes an Excel export; FlowParse and EasyLedger were left out because their pages do not say. Nothing is ranked by opinion; the order is stmtai first, then the tools as they appear in the table.
Why is "Price" the deciding column for freelancers?
The price cell has to name a pack, a pass or a per-page price that is paid once, and the export list has to include Excel; the table prints each tool's own words so you can see which pack expires. A tool whose cell is not published is named above as left out rather than guessed.
Is there a page on this site for freelancers and sole traders?
Yes: "A year of bank statements for your tax return", linked under Related. You have one account, maybe two, and the business and the rest of your life run through the same card. Once a year you need to know what came in, what went out on the business, and to be able to show where those numbers came from. You do not have a bookkeeper and you do not want a subscription for a job you do once.
