A ProperSoft alternative that runs in your browser — no install, no subscription
ProperSoft's converters are solid, mature desktop software. But if all you need is a bank statement turned into a QuickBooks-ready .QBO file, you don't have to install anything or take on a $19.99/month subscription: QBOParse runs in your browser, shows you an editable, reconciliation-checked preview, and lets you prove it on your real statement before paying anything.
What ProperSoft offers today
ProperSoft has built accounting file converters since 2008. Its long-running per-format tools — CSV2QBO, PDF2QBO, OFX2QBO and a dozen more — are now consolidated into a single desktop app, ProperConvert, for Windows and macOS. ProperConvert extracts transactions from PDF statements, CSV/Excel files, QBO/QFX/OFX downloads, QIF and MT940 files, and writes QBO, QFX, QIF, OFX, IIF, QBJ, CSV/Excel or MT940 output — covering QuickBooks, Quicken, Xero, Sage and others.
It is sold as a subscription: $19.99/month or $179.99/year for one user on one device, with team licenses above that. A free trial and a 14-day money-back guarantee are offered. Because it is desktop software, your files are converted locally and never leave your computer.

When ProperSoft is the better choice
- You need formats QBOParse doesn't touch — QIF, IIF, QBJ journal-entry batch imports, MT940, or outputs aimed at Quicken, Xero, Sage and other packages beyond QuickBooks.
- You convert files every day, all year. At that volume one desktop app that covers every conversion pair is worth the subscription — $179.99/year is fair value for a daily tool.
- Your data policy forbids any server processing at all. ProperConvert is fully offline desktop software. QBOParse's PDF parsing sends extracted statement text (never the file itself) to a server, where it is processed in memory and discarded — we disclose this plainly because it may matter to your policy.
- You want a vendor with a long track record — ProperSoft has sold converters since 2008, with hundreds of public reviews and formal support channels.
When QBOParse is enough
- Your job is "bank statement → QuickBooks", a few times a month. A one-time $19.99 for lifetime full export costs what they charge for a single month — for software you'd barely open.
- You can't (or don't want to) install software — everything runs in a browser tab, so it works on locked-down work machines and Chromebooks.
- You want proof before paying. Parsing, the editable preview with its balance reconciliation check, and the first 25 export rows are free on your real statement — no signup, no download, no trial clock.
- Quick jobs in neighboring formats are free forever: bank statement PDF to QBO, CSV to QBO, Excel to QBO, OFX to QBO, QFX to QBO, and QBO to Excel.

Frequently asked questions
How much does ProperSoft cost?
ProperConvert is a subscription: $19.99/month or $179.99/year for one user on one device, with team plans above that. A free trial and a 14-day money-back guarantee are offered. QBOParse gives you one full export free, then a 25-row preview; a one-time payment unlocks unlimited export — $9.99 for 3 months or $19.99 for life, no subscription.
What happened to CSV2QBO and PDF2QBO?
ProperSoft's per-format converters (CSV2QBO, PDF2QBO, OFX2QBO and the rest) have been consolidated into the single ProperConvert app, which handles all of their input and output combinations. The old standalone product pages are gone; the same conversions live on inside ProperConvert.
Which is more private — ProperSoft or QBOParse?
Both avoid the classic "upload your PDF to a cloud service" model. ProperConvert converts locally on your Windows or Mac desktop. With QBOParse the PDF file never leaves your device either — only the extracted text is parsed server-side in memory and immediately discarded.
Do I need to install anything to use QBOParse?
No. QBOParse runs in any modern browser — nothing to download, no admin rights needed, which also makes it usable on locked-down work machines. ProperConvert requires a Windows or macOS installation and is licensed per user per device.
Can QBOParse do everything ProperConvert does?
No. ProperConvert covers far more ground: QIF, IIF, QBJ and MT940, outputs for Quicken, Xero, Sage and other packages, and batch general-journal imports. If you need those, ProperSoft is the right buy. If your job is bank or credit-card statements into QuickBooks, QBOParse does that for a fraction of the price.
