Parsio Receipt OCR vs Saldo Receipt Scanner

Parsio Receipt OCR extracts merchant name, date, line items, taxes, and totals from receipts for finance and operations workflows. It accepts scanned PDFs, photos, emailed receipts, and attachments, including printed, handwritten, or digital receipts in multiple languages. Its pre-trained model needs no template setup or field mapping. Receipts can be uploaded manually, emailed, or imported through the API and automation platforms such as Zapier and Make. Exports include XLSX, CSV, and JSON, with a REST API and customizable JSON webhooks also available. Parsio names QuickBooks, Xero, and Google Sheets as accounting integrations and says it connects to more than 6,000 apps through Zapier, Make, and its API. The free plan provides 30 credits per month, 30-day retention, and one user; no credit card is required. Paid plans start at $24 per month. A document or PDF page uses one, two, or three credits depending on parser type, and unused credits expire at the billing period's end. Parsio says customer data is encrypted and not used to train AI models, with configurable retention from 1 to 180 days.

Saldo Receipt Scanner turns receipt images into categorized expense records and reports on Android, iOS, and the web. Its OCR captures details such as merchant, date, and total; users can assign or create categories, add or edit notes, and attach receipt photos to expenses. Reports can be emailed, shared, or printed as PDFs. The app supports any currency and automatic conversion for travel expenses. It can be used offline, with receipt images uploading automatically when a connection returns. The Free plan costs nothing and allows 10 expenses with unlimited reimbursement requests. Business costs $14.99 a month and includes unlimited expenses and reimbursement requests, access to all apps and web, multi-device sync, a web version, and unlimited multi-user access. Accounts can be registered with email, Google, or Apple and provide access to other Saldo Apps applications. Support is available through in-app live chat, Facebook Messenger, or email. The privacy policy says the maker uses SSL encryption and limits data access to people with a business need to know.
