Comparison

Glimps vs Blue10: purchase invoices that post themselves in Exact Online, without setting up templates or routes

Blue10 is an established name in invoice processing, and we respect that. In their own documentation you automate by setting things up: a booking template per supplier, an auto route that carries out an action for you. Glimps does it the other way round. Glimps picks the invoice up itself, reads every line, codes and matches it, and posts it to Exact Online, per supplier as far as you allow. When something is off, Glimps stops itself. And you can see it today: your first invoice is processed within minutes.

If you want purchase invoices in Exact Online to handle themselves, Glimps is the choice. Glimps reads, codes, matches and posts by itself, and you decide up front per supplier how far that goes. A new supplier waits for you, a supplier you trust is posted by Glimps itself, and eight checks stop a posting the moment something is off. You start on your own today, your first invoice is processed within minutes, and there is no set-up fee: from 75 euro per month, cancel monthly.

Under the hood

Where the difference shows up in practice

Glimps posts by itself, you set the limits

Most tools read an invoice and then put it on your desk. Glimps goes one step further: it picks the next step, carries it out in Exact Online and records why. A new supplier is prepared and waits for you. A supplier with a clean track record, an invoice that fully matches a purchase order within tolerance, or an invoice covered by an approved contract: Glimps posts those itself. A supplier only moves up through a proposal you accept, and one correction moves it back down automatically.

No template to build, not even for supplier number 300

In Blue10's own documentation (updated April 2026), for a supplier without preferences in your accounting system you start with empty lines, and a booking template then helps so that it is "no longer necessary to create the booking lines manually each time". At Glimps there is nothing to create. Glimps reads header and lines of every invoice, even from a supplier you have never had, and proposes GL account, VAT and cost centre per line from your own history in Exact Online. When Glimps is not sure, the field stays empty instead of a guess.

Automatic, with a brake that pulls itself

Blue10 writes itself that you use an auto route only when an action must happen in every case and the user no longer needs to see the invoice. Glimps looks again every time. Eight checks stop or cap an automatic posting, whatever the supplier's level: a possible duplicate invoice, a changed bank account, a failed arithmetic check, an amount above your limit, a credit note, a currency that differs from history. Glimps never posts while a check is open, never pays and never raises its own level. Everything is in the audit trail.

Start today, and know what it costs

Blue10 describes a step-by-step onboarding, with a mailbox per administration and a remote walkthrough, and charges a one-off set-up fee next to a monthly price from their calculator. At Glimps you connect Exact Online in a few clicks, link your Microsoft 365 mailbox once to the Inbox Agent, and a few minutes later your first invoice is read and coded. The price is simply on the site: Starter 75 euro for 100 invoices, Professional 149 euro for 300, Business 399 euro for 1,000. No set-up fee, cancel monthly.

Questions about your situation?

Open the demo

In Blue10's own documentation you automate by setting things up: a booking template, also as a default per supplier, and an auto route that carries out an action for you. Glimps needs no templates or routes. It picks the invoice up itself, reads header and lines, even from a supplier you have never had, codes and matches it and posts it to Exact Online, per supplier as far as you allow. When something is off, Glimps stops itself.

Yes, per supplier as far as you allow. A new supplier is prepared and waits for you. Posting by itself comes through a clean track record of that supplier, a fully matched purchase order within tolerance or an approved contract. A supplier only moves up through a proposal you accept, and one correction moves it a step back down automatically.

Then the field stays empty instead of a guess, and you decide. On top of that, Glimps looks at eight checks again for every invoice, whatever the supplier's level. A possible duplicate invoice, a duplicate check that was unavailable, a changed bank account or a failed arithmetic check stops the posting; an amount above your limit, a supplier that was silent for twelve months, a credit note or a different currency caps it. Glimps never posts while a check is open, and never pays.

Today. You connect Exact Online yourself and your first invoice is processed within minutes. No demo needed, no implementation project and no set-up fee.

Blue10 shows its monthly price through a calculator on blue10.com, depending on the number of documents and the accounting package, plus a one-off set-up fee. Glimps puts every amount on the pricing page: Starter 75 euro for 100 invoices, Professional 149 euro for 300, Business 399 euro for 1,000. At 500 invoices with 3-way matching that is 149 plus 200 times 0.50 euro, plus 149 for matching: 398 euro per month, with no set-up fee.

Yes, Exact Online is one of the accounting packages Blue10 connects to. Glimps is built only for Exact Online, and that is why Glimps can post by itself: suppliers, GL accounts, VAT codes, cost centres, projects, journals per administration, purchase orders and receipts come straight from Exact.

With the Inbox Agent, on every plan. You connect your Microsoft 365 mailbox once and every invoice arrives by itself, also the reminder with the invoice attached, the forwarded mail and the invoice inside a mail thread. Nobody has to forward invoices any more. Want to watch first? Put it in look-only mode; for another mail system you get your own invoice address.

Yes. Glimps matches 2-way and 3-way at line level against purchase orders and receipts from Exact Online, with tolerances in euro and percent. PO matching is an add-on of 149 euro per month on Professional and Business.

Glimps does not pass your data to a model provider to train general models. It does not learn from one customer for another either: corrections you make stay within your own account. Anyone looking along with Claude or ChatGPT through the MCP server can only read.

Yes. Invoices you have already posted stay in Exact Online with their PDF, so nothing gets lost. You can also let Glimps run next to Blue10 for a while first.
