Receipt AI

Capture receipts by text, email, or photo and post them to your ledger.

Overview

Receipt AI is built around a simple habit change: file the receipt the moment you get it, by texting a photo, instead of collecting a pile to deal with later. For anyone who travels or buys on the move, that is the difference between clean records and a shoebox.

Once a receipt arrives by text, email, or upload, the tool reads it, pulls out the amount, vendor, and date, categorises the expense, checks it is not a duplicate, and posts it into QuickBooks Online or Xero. It also parses bank statements, so the capture is not limited to paper receipts.

The text route is the signature feature, and it works in the US and Canada. Outside those markets, capture runs through email and upload instead, which is worth knowing for UK or other international users.

Pricing runs from about $29 a month for one user and 100 receipts on the Pro plan, up to $99 and $299 a month for team tiers with more members, higher receipt limits, and the QuickBooks and Xero sync. A free demo is available.

Receipt AI is a focused capture tool, not a full expense platform. For travellers, small teams, and bookkeepers who just want receipts filed automatically, that focus is the appeal; teams that also need corporate cards, approvals, and reimbursement flows will want something broader.

Frequently asked questions

What does Receipt AI do?
Receipt AI captures receipts the moment you get them. You text a photo, forward an email, or upload a file, and it extracts the data, categorises the expense, checks for duplicates, and posts it into QuickBooks Online or Xero. It also parses bank statements. The point is to file receipts at the time of purchase rather than stuffing them in a drawer for later.
How much does Receipt AI cost?
The Pro plan is about $29 a month for one member and 100 receipts. Business Basic at $99 a month adds five members, 500 receipts, and QuickBooks Online and Xero sync, and Business Advance at $299 covers ten members and 2,500 receipts. A free demo is available. Accounting software sync starts at the Business Basic tier.
How does the text capture work?
You send a photo of a receipt by SMS and Receipt AI reads and files it. The SMS feature works in the US and Canada; elsewhere, capture happens through email and upload instead. The text route is the main draw for people who would otherwise lose paper receipts between purchase and bookkeeping.
Who is Receipt AI built for?
Individuals and small teams who generate receipts on the move, plus bookkeepers handling client receipts. It is a focused capture tool rather than a full expense platform, so teams needing corporate cards, approvals, and reimbursement workflows will want something broader.
