Paysweep versus SaasAnt Transactions

Compare the job each product covers

Paysweep records payments against invoices and bills that already exist in your connected Xero organisation. It accepts CSV and Excel .xlsx files, and reads the first worksheet of a workbook. It also offers a cleanup mode for selecting open invoices or bills directly, then previewing full-balance payments with a shared account and date.

SaasAnt's Xero getting-started documentation lists payments alongside invoices, bills, contacts, purchase orders and manual journals, among other entities. Its documented file types include CSV, XLSX and XLS. That broader coverage makes it worth considering when your import project extends beyond payments.

Paysweep makes the payment review explicit

Your file identifies an invoice or bill by number or InvoiceID, with a payment date and account code. You can supply a default account for rows missing one. A blank amount means the full amount currently due; enter an amount for a partial payment.

Paysweep maps column headers automatically and lets you adjust the mapping. You choose the date order so an ambiguous spreadsheet date is interpreted as intended.

The checks cover whether the document exists, is approved and has an outstanding balance. They also check the payment account, currency compatibility and lock date. Payments against the same document must not add up to more than its amount due. Draft documents are not paid.

The preview shows ready payments, totals by currency and rows requiring attention. You can download the problem rows as CSV. Recording starts only after you type PAY n, where the number matches the ready payments.

Before each payment is recorded, Paysweep rereads the document. A changed amount due or approval status causes that row to be skipped. After each write it reads the payment back. The result identifies outcomes by row and links back to Xero.

The spreadsheet is read in your browser, and its rows are sent over HTTPS to build the preview. The uploaded file itself is not stored. Planned payments of a preview are kept encrypted and deleted after 24 hours if the run never starts.

Understand the undo conditions

Paysweep offers free undo for 30 days after a run starts. It sets eligible payments created by that run to Deleted in Xero, making the corresponding invoice or bill due again. Undo does not use up your plan's payments.

Undo leaves reconciled payments and payments belonging to a batch payment in place. The organisation must remain connected: disconnecting deletes the run details needed for undo. Treat the feature as a defined correction path, rather than a guarantee that every later accounting change can be reversed.

So far Paysweep's live runs have used Xero's Demo Company. The rules that skip reconciled and batch payments are in its code but have not been run against a real organisation, so test with a small file first.

When evaluating SaasAnt, ask how its current payment deletion process handles reconciled transactions and how you identify the entries from a particular import.

Compare Paysweep's plans against your workload

Paysweep includes the first three payments per organisation free. That allowance does not renew. Unlimited file checks and previews let you inspect your data before buying.

The monthly plan is USD 19 per organisation per month, excl. VAT/sales tax, with unlimited payments subject to Xero's API pacing. You can cancel at any time and retain access until the period ends.

The seven-day pass is USD 39 once, excl. VAT/sales tax, for one organisation and up to 300 payments, valid for 7 days from purchase. It does not renew. The monthly plan costs less for the initial month; the pass suits buyers who specifically want a non-renewing purchase. These prices match the Paysweep pricing page as read on 29 October 2026. Paddle, the seller, adds any applicable tax at checkout.

Choose around the work you actually have

Choose Paysweep when you have payments to enter against existing documents and want its preview, row-level results and undo workflow. Files can contain up to 5,000 data rows, but a run can record at most 2,500 payments. Larger projects need to be split appropriately.

Paysweep works through Xero's API at no more than 55 calls a minute and 95% of your organisation's daily call cap, so a large run can pause and continue the next day.

Choose to investigate SaasAnt when the same project includes other transaction types. Paysweep does not create invoices or bills, import bank statements or reconcile transactions. It also needs identified invoice or bill references; automated matching of a bank statement or unstructured remittance advice is outside its documented scope.
