## What is Making Cents?

Turn everyday receipts into a spending record you can actually use. Scan a receipt or import a photo, check the details, and see where your recorded spending goes.

START WITH THE FREE TOOLS
• Scan and store unlimited receipts.
• Review merchant, date, items, discounts and totals before saving.
• Correct saved receipts when something needs changing.
• Set monthly category budgets and see spending from the receipts you record.
• Search merchants and items, and filter by date, category or currency.
• View your current calendar month's recorded spending.
• Look back at your own purchase prices.
• Export receipts and item details as CSV.

USE IT WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT
Keep your receipts locally on your device without registering. Sign in when you want to use cloud services.

GO DEEPER WITH PREMIUM
Create reports for your chosen date range, explore category and merchant breakdowns, export PDF summaries and compare spending across months. Premium is available as a monthly or yearly subscription. Core receipt scanning, storage, budgets and CSV export remain free.

KEEP THE NUMBERS CLEAR
Receipt totals include discounts and any adjustments you accept. Different currencies stay separate, with no automatic currency conversion. Reports cover the receipts you have saved, rather than all your bank spending. Your purchase history shows past purchases, not live shop prices.

Start with your next receipt and build a clearer picture over time.
