Three retention modes

Sound familiar

Every receipt is a small chore.
A hundred of them is a problem.

Whether you're a freelancer at year end, a finance team chasing reimbursements, or a developer building the next expense tool, the paper-to-data step is the part nobody enjoys. We made it the part you don't have to think about.

The receipt pile

Coffees, hardware, that one client dinner from March. Stuffed in a wallet, jammed in an inbox, photographed and forgotten. Tax season turns it into an archaeological dig.

The retyping tax

Someone (usually you, usually on a Sunday) types every line into a spreadsheet. Wrong total, miscategorized, off by a decimal. The bookkeeper sends it back.

What you get

More than a scan.
A real understanding.

Plain OCR returns crooked text. AI returns understanding: the receipt the way your finance tool would describe it, broken into clean fields with a confidence score on every value.

The receipt, decoded

Every line item, the way it was meant to be filed.

Variants, modifiers, quantities, unit price, tax flag, category. Not a flat string of characters, but the structure your spreadsheet was quietly hoping for.

Blueberry muffinGluten-freePastry$4.25
Drip coffeeMediumDrinks$3.75

Multi-currency, no math

Currency detected per receipt and returned as a clean ISO code, with the right decimals already in place.

Many languages, one schema

Café receipt in São Paulo, convenience store in Tokyo, fika in Stockholm. Same call, same JSON.

A summary in plain English

One short paragraph that describes the receipt the way a person would. Useful for dashboards and audit trails.

Confidence on every field

A 1 to 99 score per value, so you (or your code) know which rows to trust outright and which deserve a second glance.

Who it's for

Made for people
who'd rather not type.

One freelancer with a shoebox of coffee receipts. A finance team processing two hundred travel reports a month. An autonomous agent filing expenses on its own. Same product, same $5/month floor, same JSON.

For AI agents

A receipt tool agents can call

Tool-call-shaped, deterministic JSON, confidence per field. Drops into Claude Code, the Anthropic Agent SDK, MoltBot pipelines, or whatever loop you've built. The agent reasons, we extract.

For freelancers

Stop sorting at year end

Snap a photo when the meal arrives, the gear ships, the gas pumps. By April, you have rows, not a shoebox. Drops cleanly into QuickBooks or whatever your accountant likes.

For travelers

Multi-currency, no math

Hotel folio in São Paulo, taxi in Tokyo, airline fee in Reykjavík. Currency detected per receipt, totals normalized, summary in plain English. The travel report writes itself.

For finance teams

Approvals, not data entry

Per-workspace allowances with hard caps. Webhooks into your approvals system. Your team reviews. They don't retype.

FAQ

The questions
we hear most.

Is this AI?
Yes. We use modern vision-language models to read receipts the way a person would, return them as structured fields, and tag every value with a confidence score. The schema stays stable, so the underlying model can be upgraded as the field improves without breaking your integration.
Do I need to be a developer to use this?
No. The dashboard handles everything: drag a receipt in, get clean rows out, export to CSV or sync to your accounting tool. The API is there for teams who want to automate, not a requirement.
How accurate is it?
We don't publish a single accuracy number, because it depends on receipt quality, language, and merchant. Instead, every field comes back with a self-reported confidence score from 1 to 99. Route low-confidence rows for review, auto-approve high-confidence ones.
Is there a free trial?
No free tier and no trial. The floor is $5/month for 50 receipts. We charge enough to keep the service fast and reliable without rate-limiting you. Cancel anytime in the customer portal.
How is this different from a generic OCR API?
OCR returns text. We return data: structured items with variants, per-line tax, payment method with last four, multi-currency, language, confidence, and a one-paragraph summary. Versioned at /v1 so the schema stays stable. Per-receipt pricing with hard caps so you never get a surprise bill.
Can I delete my data?
Yes. Three retention modes per receipt: keep everything (default), delete the original file but keep the structured data, or delete both once your webhook confirms receipt. Set a workspace default, override per upload.

Drop the receipt in.
Get on with your day.

Five dollars a month gets you fifty receipts, the full dashboard, every export format, the API, signed webhooks, and all three retention modes. A hard cap means you never wake up to a surprise bill.
