Comparison
Looking for a Gennai alternative?
eggz automates the bills coming in and the quotes and invoices going out, with Australian GST read off the document either way.
The short answer
Gennai is a capable accounts payable tool with a native Gmail connection, and it does that job cleanly. It does not do accounts receivable, so quotes and invoices stay manual in Xero, and its Australian GST handling is limited. eggz covers both directions, reads Missive as well as Gmail, and is built here for GST rather than adapted to it.
What Gennai is good at
- A native Gmail connection rather than a forwarding address.
- Accounts payable automation as its clear, focused purpose.
Where eggz is a different answer
- Accounts receivable as well: quotes and invoices, published to Xero.
- Missive as well as Gmail.
- Australian GST handled properly.
- Billed in AUD, so the number does not move with the exchange rate.

Stay with Gennai if
- Bills coming in are the whole job and nothing you send out touches your accounting.
- You are outside Australia and GST is irrelevant to you.
