SaasAnt Transactions alternative for a Xero clean-up
For one Xero clean-up, such as an import that went in as approved, an alternative to SaasAnt Transactions is Unapprove: it voids approved invoices and bills from a pasted list of numbers after a free preview, for $49 once or $39 a month. SaasAnt is the better choice when you import, export and delete many transaction types on a subscription.
Start free preview with Xero Or connect Xero and start the $49 Clean-up Pass
You sign in with Xero first. The preview needs no card and changes nothing. Paid checkout is on Paddle after you connect.
First: did the import go in through SaasAnt?
If it did, start there. SaasAnt's Xero page says its "Undo Import" feature rolls back an import and cleans up the imported transactions (SaasAnt Transactions for Xero, checked 15 November 2026). If the documents came in another way, as drafts, Xero deletes draft and awaiting approval invoices in bulk from the list view. Approved ones are the hard part: Xero Central says you cannot void awaiting payment invoices in bulk, you void them one at a time (Delete or void an invoice, checked 15 November 2026).
Side by side for the clean-up job
SaasAnt cells come from its own pages, opened on 15 November 2026. Where its pages say nothing about a point, the row is left out.
| SaasAnt Transactions | Unapprove | |
|---|---|---|
| What it does for the job | Imports, exports and deletes Xero transactions from Excel, CSV or text files. Undo Import rolls back an import. Bulk file deletes are listed among its plan features | Voids approved sales invoices and bills in bulk, or makes an editable draft copy of each first. It does not import |
| Picking the documents | A file you upload | Filters, or paste or upload exact invoice numbers from CSV or TXT, up to 500 a batch for a void-only job |
| Before it writes | Its Xero page mentions a preview mode for imports | A preview that writes nothing, with a reason for each skipped document, a CSV backup, then you type the count |
| Pricing model | Subscription. Manual $15 a month or $90 a year. Automation $25 a month or $150 a year. SaasAnt does not offer refunds | One-off Clean-up Pass, $49 for 30 days with no renewal. Or $39 a month, or $290 a year, per organisation. Tax is added at checkout |
| Free tier | 30-day trial with no card: 100 monthly credits and 50 lines per file | Unlimited preview, and 3 documents processed in a 14-day trial, with no card |
| Reads or writes | Writes: imports, updates and deletes | The preview only reads. A run writes once you confirm it. A void cannot be undone |
| Other jobs | Exports, Zapier, email and FTP automations, a user limit of 5 on Manual and 10 on Automation | Remove payments and void, write-offs, Duplicate Finder, attachment and invoice PDF export |

Which one fits
- You import into Xero every week and want one tool that imports, exports, updates and deletes: SaasAnt Transactions. Its Undo Import covers an import that went wrong in it.
- One batch went in as approved, from Xero's own import, a sync or a migration, and you need it voided or back to draft once: Unapprove's Clean-up Pass, paid once, with nothing to cancel.
- You need the documents editable again, not only voided: Unapprove makes a draft copy first, keeps the number where Xero allows and voids the original. SaasAnt's pages do not describe this.
Documents with a payment applied, an allocated credit note or a date in a locked period are skipped and listed with the reason. A separate run can remove payments first, and it never touches reconciled or batch payments. For the steps by hand, see how to void multiple approved invoices in Xero at once and how to bulk unapprove invoices in Xero. Other tools that void in bulk are compared in Unapprove vs Bulkdozer vs Bulk Void vs SaasAnt, and payment entry in SaasAnt alternatives for Xero payment entry.
Questions before you choose
What is a good alternative to SaasAnt Transactions for Xero?
It depends on the job. For a one-off clean-up of approved invoices and bills, Unapprove voids them in bulk after a free preview, for $49 once. For regular imports, exports and deletes of many transaction types, SaasAnt Transactions covers more.
How do I undo a bad import in Xero?
If you imported with SaasAnt, use its Undo Import. Drafts and awaiting approval invoices can be deleted in bulk in Xero's list view. Approved ones have to be voided, one at a time in Xero, or as a batch with an app such as Unapprove.
How much does SaasAnt Transactions cost for Xero?
On its Xero pricing page on 15 November 2026: a 30-day free trial, Manual at $15 a month or $90 a year, and Automation at $25 a month or $150 a year. Its FAQ says it does not offer refunds. Check the page before you buy.
Is there a one-off price instead of a subscription?
Yes. Unapprove's Clean-up Pass is $49 once for 30 days of unlimited documents in one organisation, with no renewal. An unused pass is refundable within 14 days.
Can a void in Xero be undone?
No. Xero Central says voided invoices cannot be reinstated or restored. Download the backup CSV first and run a small batch to start. Unapprove's draft copy is a new document, not a restored original.
See a real Unapprove demo preview or check the current plans. FOUNDING40 takes 40% off the first payment until 30 November 2026. An unused Unapprove pass is refundable within 14 days.
