This fixes all my budgeting issues and saves me so much time as well as money!” Sarah “I love the fact that I can do everything within this one app. I mainly use it for tracking my expenses but have also started using it to instantly send/receive payments which makes things super easy.

Turn grocery receipts into a clear picture of your spending. Scan a receipt, review the items and prices, and see your spending by category and store. Set a weekly or monthly grocery budget and check what is left before your next shopping trip, without connecting your bank. Try your first three saved receipts free. WITH RADISH - Review and correct scanned items before saving. - Understand spending by item, category, store, and month. - Follow your weekly or monthly grocery budget and spending pace. - Keep your receipts organized by store. - Share grocery receipts and budgets with your partner through iCloud. - Export your item history as CSV or a monthly summary as PDF. - Choose your own Essential or Optional labels and change them anytime. PRIVACY AND SCANNING No bank login. No ads. No selling grocery data. You explicitly allow receipt scanning before up to four receipt photos are sent to OpenAI through Radish's receipt-processing service to create an editable draft. Manual entry remains available without that permission. You check every draft before it is saved. In 1.15.0 and later, unfinished receipt photos and shared imports stay on this iPhone for up to seven days. Original photos are kept after saving only if you choose; these local files are excluded from backups and household sync. Community suggestions, when available, can help explain abbreviated receipt names. You confirm every change. Sharing your own corrections stays off until you choose it. SHARING REQUIREMENTS Share through a QR invite and a private iCloud household. Both iPhones need Radish 1.14.2 or later, iOS 18 or later, internet access, iCloud, and different Apple IDs. Both people need access through their own subscription or eligible Apple Family Sharing. Weekly budget sharing requires 1.15.0 or later on both iPhones. FREE RECEIPTS AND SUBSCRIPTIONS Your first three saved receipts are free. After your third saved receipt, a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription unlocks continued scanning, receipt review, household sharing, and spending insights. Eligible new subscribers can try the yearly plan free for 7 days. Monthly has no free trial. Apple shows final local pricing, eligibility, and terms before purchase. Cancel anytime in Apple Account settings. Saved receipts remain available in a read-only archive with search and CSV export. RECEIPT SUPPORT Optimized for English-language US and UK grocery receipts with USD and GBP totals. Receipt results depend on image quality, device, language, network, model, and service availability.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Radish at none against Emma's shown. Radish also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 days). Emma's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Emma sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Radish sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings
