Common questions
For simply extracting data from invoices into a spreadsheet, Nanonets is faster and easier. Automation Anywhere is better if you need the full invoice-to-payment workflow — including sending approval emails, updating your accounting system, and triggering payments.
No — Nanonets does not have a mobile app. You would need to take photos with your phone, transfer them to a computer, and upload them to the web dashboard.
Nanonets is cheaper for a solo user because of its free $200 credit tier and usage-based pricing. Automation Anywhere's free Community Edition is too limited for real work, and its enterprise plans start at thousands per year.
No — it has a drag-and-drop interface, but you still need to understand concepts like Control Room, bot agents, and secure vaults. It's not beginner-friendly for non-technical people.
Yes — Nanonets is specifically noted for superior accuracy on handwritten or blurry documents, making it a strong choice for medical forms or handwritten receipts.
Nanonets wins for everyday users who need fast, easy document data extraction; Automation Anywhere is for enterprises with complex multi-step automation needs.
If you just need to pull data out of documents and into a spreadsheet, start with Nanonets — it's free to try, dead simple, and works in minutes. If you're running a large business with complex workflows that involve multiple systems and approvals, Automation Anywhere is the powerhouse — but be ready for a serious investment in time and money.
