Invoice capture for Dynamics 365 extracts header and line data from supplier invoices and creates coded vendor invoices in Dynamics 365 Finance or Business Central. Microsoft offers native options — Invoice Capture for D365 Finance and AI Builder document models — while dedicated capture engines compete on line-item accuracy, validation workflow and multi-document coverage.

Microsoft is unusually credible in this category: Invoice Capture ships for D365 Finance, and AI Builder gives Power Platform teams a DIY document-extraction path. That makes the buy decision sharper than in most ERP ecosystems — specialists must beat a native option that's included in the stack and improving continuously.
They often still do, on the dimensions that decide AP economics: touchless rate on messy real-world invoices, line-item extraction for PO matching, validation UX for exceptions, and coverage beyond invoices (order confirmations, delivery notes, receipts). The comparison below is built around those margins.
D365 Finance's Invoice Capture handles mainstream invoice scanning with continuous Microsoft investment — the right default for standard header-level capture. AI Builder lets you train custom document models and wire them through Power Automate, powerful for bespoke documents but a build-and-maintain commitment. Specialists earn their fee on high-volume AP with line-level accuracy demands, multi-entity routing, complex validation rules and pre-trained breadth across document types.

Most vendors in this category price by quote, so there is no honest list price to quote you. Here is what actually drives your number — and how to get a real one.
1 of the 7 vendors we track in this category publish no list price at all.
List the specific invoice & document OCR outcomes you need — volumes, workflows, countries, systems in the loop — and rank them. Vendor demos are optimised to reframe your requirements around their strengths; a written list keeps the evaluation yours.
Every vendor here “integrates with Dynamics 365” — the differences are in depth. Ask each to demo the integration against a realistic Dynamics 365 configuration: your entity structure, your fields, your transaction volumes, and what happens when a sync fails.
Look for Microsoft AppSource listing / ISV certification and a current listing on Microsoft AppSource. Certification doesn't guarantee fit, but it confirms the vendor keeps pace with Dynamics 365 releases — uncertified integrations are where upgrade breakage concentrates.
Ask for two reference customers on Dynamics 365 at your size and in your industry, and ask them what broke in the first year. Implementation quality varies more than product quality in the invoice & document OCR category.
Compare subscription plus implementation plus internal effort — not headline price. Invoice automation for Dynamics 365 pricing models differ (per user, per volume, per entity), so normalise every quote to your actual usage before comparing.
When invoice volumes are moderate, most spend is PO-backed with clean supplier formats, and your exceptions process tolerates some manual coding. Measure its touchless rate honestly for a month; if AP still keys line items or approvers correct coding daily, a specialist pilot on the same invoice stream gives you a direct, measurable comparison.
BC doesn't get D365 Finance's Invoice Capture; the practical routes are AppSource capture extensions and cloud capture engines posting through BC's APIs. Evaluate on the same criteria: line-item accuracy, dimension coding, attachment handling and exception UX inside or alongside BC. Several vendors in this comparison ship BC-specific editions.
For a narrow, stable document type with a capable Power Platform team — possibly. For supplier invoices at scale, you'd be rebuilding what capture vendors have productised: pre-trained models across thousands of layouts, validation frameworks, duplicate detection and posting logic. DIY makes most sense for niche documents the market doesn't cover, not core AP.
This comparison currently covers 7 options that work with Dynamics 365, including ABBYY Vantage / FlexiCapture, Azure AI Document Intelligence, Ephesoft (Tungsten Transact). Each links to a detailed profile with features, integrations, pricing and alternatives, and the directory is updated as the market changes.
Most vendors here quote rather than publish. Tell us your Dynamics 365 version, seat count and must-haves and we'll come back with an independent view of what it should cost — and which options are worth quoting against each other.
