Easy Expense vs OCR Receipt

Easy Expense provides receipt and expense tracking for individuals, small business owners, self-employed people, and teams. Its receipt capture automatically crops images and uses AI to extract and categorize details such as tax category, vendor, total, tax, date, and payment method. Users can connect Gmail to scan for receipts or forward receipts by email. The app can track drives automatically with GPS, classify trips, and apply custom mileage deduction rates. Linked bank accounts and credit cards can be scanned to classify tax deductions. Easy Expense provides PDF expense reports and exports data to CSV or Excel. Team features include user invitations, reimbursement reports, and API access upon request. It is available on Android, iOS, and the web. The free plan includes 10 receipt scans and two expense reports per month. Starter costs $7.99 a month, and Professional costs $23.99 a month. Email access is read-only; the privacy policy says email data shared for receipt and invoice processing may be sent to OpenAI. Mobile exports support data and images, while the web app has limited export options.

OCR Receipt is a desktop app for analyzing, renaming and filing receipts, invoices and business documents offline. It extracts supplier, date, tax, total and line-item details, can correct OCR typos and categorize suppliers, and indexes parsed files in a local SQLite database for text search. The product page describes dropping 50 receipts at once for background processing. Reports include PDF audit files with receipt copies appended, and the desktop tour describes HTML summaries. CSV export is available; paid tiers also include Excel export.

The site says OCR and local AI run on the computer, files remain on the local disk, and there is no telemetry or remote server sharing. Paid tiers can optionally use cloud AI with the customer's own API key. The app accepts PDF, PNG and JPG files, and supports Linux, Windows 10/11, and macOS on Intel and Apple Silicon. Free Lite costs nothing; paid one-time plans are listed at 149.00 USD, 199.00 USD and 399.00 USD, with differing batch and seat limits.
