If you're a freelancer or a small business weighing Neat against Nabbit, the real question is whether you need a general document filing tool or a receipt tool built around Canadian tax. Neat is a US document management service with a flat yearly price. Nabbit reads GST/HST on each receipt and syncs it to QuickBooks Online Canada. This page lays out where each one fits.

Canadian tax built in. Nabbit reads GST/HST as its own figure on every receipt, so the amount you claim as an Input Tax Credit is not buried in a total. Neat's pricing page does not mention GST/HST.
Sync to your books. Nabbit sends approved expenses to QuickBooks Online Canada. Neat's pricing page names no accounting integrations, so ask them before you assume one.
Priced in Canadian dollars. Nabbit quotes CAD with a free 14-day trial and no credit card.
One flat price. Neat lists $200 a year for its main plan, with no monthly price shown. If you want a single predictable yearly fee and a place to file documents, that is easy to budget.
Document filing, not only receipts. Neat describes itself as a document management platform. If you need to file more than receipts, check whether it covers the other documents you keep.
Choose Nabbit if: you use QuickBooks Online Canada, you claim GST/HST Input Tax Credits, and you want each expense reviewed before it posts to your books.
Choose Neat if: you mainly want a flat-fee place to file documents and do not need GST/HST read per receipt or a sync to QuickBooks Online Canada.
Whichever product you pick, test it against the things that cause trouble at GST/HST filing time and in a CRA audit:
Run ten real receipts through each tool: a faded thermal receipt, a fuel receipt, a restaurant receipt with a tip, an invoice from a supplier with a GST/HST number, and a receipt that shows GST and PST separately. Compare what each tool read against the paper, and note how many fields you had to correct by hand. Then ask what the tool does with the corrected data, because the cost of a bad read is an ITC you cannot support later. The guide on what receipts CRA requires lists exactly what a valid receipt must show.
Full access to all features, including QuickBooks Online Canada sync. No credit card required.
