In their own words
Starlog
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.
