Which one should you choose?
Choose by how often you convert statements. For a one-off job, BankConv’s pay-per-document price is the simplest. For steady monthly volume, compare the cost per page on each plan.
- One statement, once: BankConv. A 10-page statement costs $2.99 with no subscription to cancel.
- A few pages now and then: either free account. Both give 5 pages a day.
- Regular monthly volume: BankConv’s plans include more pages for the price at the entry and top tiers. At 1,000 pages they match on volume, and BankConv costs $11 less a month.
- You want the site in Spanish, Italian, Japanese or Chinese: bankstatementconverter.com offers those languages.
Where bankstatementconverter.com is a good fit
bankstatementconverter.com does the core job well. Its anonymous converter is quick to reach, it has a documented API that returns JSON or CSV, and it handles password-protected PDFs. If you already have a subscription and your volume fits its tiers, there is no pressing reason to switch.
Where BankConv is different
BankConv is built around paying only for what you use. The differences that matter in practice:
| If you need | BankConv |
|---|---|
| One statement with no subscription | From $2.99 per document |
| A bigger free preview without signing up | First 5 pages of a statement |
| Results straight into a spreadsheet you share | Google Sheets export |
| More than 4,000 pages a month on a standard plan | 5,000 pages on Business |
| Short file retention | Files deleted after 24 hours; teams can choose 48 or 72 |
BankConv never connects to your bank and never asks for your banking password. See how files are handled.
How to compare them on your own statement
Run the same PDF through both tools and check the output the same way.
- Count the rows. Compare the number of transactions with the statement, page by page.
- Match the closing balance. The last running balance should equal the closing balance on the statement.
- Total each side. Add money in and money out and compare them with the statement’s summary box.
Then do the cost maths for your real monthly page count on the pricing page. If you need Excel or CSV for a handful of statements, the pay-per-document price will usually win. At steady volume, the plan with the lowest cost per page you’ll actually use is the right one.
