Where did your money go this month? Scanomy answers with real numbers from your own receipts — what you spent, where, on what, and how it changes over time. No spreadsheets. No typing. No lost receipts. THREE WAYS TO ADD A RECEIPT • Scan it — point the camera at any receipt. AI reads every item, total and discount in seconds. Photos from your gallery and multi-page PDFs work too. • Say it — dictate the store and the items. Scanomy turns your words into a complete receipt. • Forward it — send email receipts to Scanomy, or share a file from any app. They are processed exactly like a scan. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT • Every line item is categorized — not just the total. Groceries, fuel, pharmacy, dining out: sorted by category, subcategory and store, automatically. • Discounts are detected, per item and for whole-receipt coupons, so you know what you actually saved. • Any currency. Receipts from abroad are converted at that day's exchange rate, so your totals always add up in one currency. • Any language. Scanomy is available in 44 languages and reads receipts in any of them. UNDERSTAND YOUR SPENDING • Analytics by day, week, month or any custom period — by category, store and label. • Price history: see how an item's price has changed over time and which store is cheapest. • Insights after every receipt, like paying more at a store than you usually do. • Search in plain language: "groceries in August with a discount" becomes a filtered list. Or type "milk" and find every receipt that has milk on it. • Receipts that don't add up are flagged for review, so your numbers stay trustworthy. EXPORT Excel, CSV or PDF — one tap for clean reports for your accountant, your boss or yourself. WHO IT'S FOR • Anyone who wants to know where their money goes, without the spreadsheet • Travelers with receipts in different languages and currencies • Freelancers and small business owners who need clean expense exports • Shoppers who want to know which store is actually cheaper PLANS • Free — 10 receipts a month through AI (scan, voice or email) and analytics for the current month. Manual entry is unlimited. • Pro — unlimited receipts, full analytics history, price history and comparison, export to Excel, CSV and PDF, unlimited custom categories and labels. Monthly or yearly, cancel anytime. PRIVACY Your receipts are yours. Data is private, secure and never used for ads.
