What Smart Receipts is
Smart Receipts scans and organizes receipts, then prepares expense reports for tax time or reimbursement. Its receipt recognition reads merchant, date, total, and tax details from paper or digital receipts. Users can export reports as PDF and CSV files, log trips, and calculate reimbursement-ready mileage totals. Receipts can also be forwarded by email for capture and filing. The Free plan is mobile-app-only and includes manual receipt entry and basic expense reports. Pro adds web access, AI-powered receipt recognition, email forwarding, automatic cloud backup, spending insights, and PDF, CSV, and ZIP exports. Pro is $8.33/mo (billed yearly at $99.99). Max adds bank connections in the US and Canada, plus bank statement and CSV imports, for $11.58/mo (billed yearly at $139). The maker says bank connections are read-only and cannot move money or write to accounts. The app is available on Android, iOS, and the web, with account syncing across listed devices. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest; when cloud sync is enabled, data is processed using AWS infrastructure in the United States.
