Bonro vs Starlog

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.

Starlog is a receipt scanner and expense tracker for small businesses, available on Android and iOS. It reads receipt details on the phone and uses OCR to fill in the store, amount and date. Users can group receipts into reports with category breakdowns, then export a ZIP containing XLSX data and receipt images. Starlog also describes structured voucher exports for direct import into Tally. Teammates can submit receipts for the owner to review and approve, without a per-seat fee. Receipt images go into year-and-month folders in the user's own Google Drive account. Starlog says it accesses only the Drive folder it creates for receipts, which users can disconnect in settings; it also says OCR runs on the phone, so images are not uploaded to a server for reading. The free plan covers one company with unlimited receipts for six months from the first receipt, then 30 approved receipts per month. Unlimited Receipts costs $1.99 a month for one company; multi-company plans and one-time receipt packs are also listed.
