Just as powerful, simpler to use
CashCtrl is powerful and has a strong free plan - but it's technical and built for accountants. LumaBill brings three things that set it apart.
An AI assistant, not just OCR
LumaBill scans receipts, categorises expenses and matches bank transactions with a real AI assistant (Claude AI, hosted in Switzerland). CashCtrl offers OCR receipt capture, but no AI assistant.
Run your books by AI (MCP server)
Connect Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor straight to LumaBill: "Create an invoice for client X". A native MCP server gives your AI assistant full, secure access - something CashCtrl doesn't offer.
Simple, no accounting knowledge needed
CashCtrl is built for accountants, with a correspondingly dense interface. LumaBill gets you to your first invoice in minutes - even with no prior experience.
