Foreceipt vs OCR Receipt

Foreceipt tracks expenses for freelancers and small businesses by capturing receipts, categorizing transactions, and generating reports. Users can photograph paper receipts or forward digital receipts by email for processing, and scan invoices to record income. Expense categories include defined business categories for the U.S. and Canada, with options to customize them. Reports can be exported to Excel or PDF for an accountant or tax filing. Users can import bank transactions in bulk from PDF statements and CSV files, and set recurring instructions to generate expense or income records when due. The mobile app syncs with the web portal. Foreceipt is available on Android, iOS, and web. Its free plan includes up to 100 receipts kept for up to 12 months, two team members, up to two PDF bank statements, and up to 10 PDF/Excel reports. The Individual plan costs $5 a month and includes 200 receipts per month, retention for up to seven years, and unlimited PDF/Excel reports. The Business plan costs $12 a month and adds QuickBooks Online integration, unlimited monthly receipts, and email and phone support.

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.
