In their own words
Bonro
Bonro turns receipts into structured data for self-employed people in the EU and UK. Its iOS and Android apps use on-device OCR, then AI extracts merchant, date, total, VAT, and category; each field is editable. The browser dashboard offers KPIs, trends, recoverable VAT, searchable receipts, uploads, and tax exports. Export formats include DATEV, FEC, Libro de Facturas, Registro IVA Acquisti, Auditfile XAF, HMRC SA103F, Xero, and QuickBooks. Users can forward receipts to a private account inbox, and Bonro reads several electronic invoice formats as structured data. Receipts queue locally when offline and synchronize when connectivity returns. The free plan is free and permits five receipts per month without export. Starter is €6.99 a month and allows 30 receipts per month with a single-country export. Pro is €12.99 a month and lists unlimited receipts and all 10 countries. A 14-day free trial is listed. Bonro is available on Android, iOS, and the web, but it does not file taxes or provide tax or legal advice.
