LensBook vs Manilo

LensBook helps you track travel and everyday expenses from photos, voice, shared images, and quick manual entries. Take a photo of a receipt, menu, or price tag, or send a receipt screenshot from another app. LensBook helps turn it into an expense record by finding amounts, recognizing currencies, and letting you review, correct, or mark the amount yourself. You stay in control before anything is saved. LensBook is designed for travel, daily budgets, and any situation where expenses come in different currencies. Projects keep each trip or budget separate, and LensBook can automatically activate the project that matches today's date. On the Home screen, travel projects show trip progress, remaining budget, and daily budget pace so you can see how your trip is going at a glance. Need to add an expense without a receipt? Use voice input and say a simple sentence such as "Coffee 4 dollars 50 at Starbucks" or "Starbucks 4500 won." You can also use Quick Add when you just want to type the amount yourself. When a trip is over, LensBook can help you look back with statistics, category summaries, CSV export, and shareable recap cards. Your records are stored locally on your device, with no mandatory sign-up or cloud sync.

Manilo (formerly Ledgy) logs expenses the moment you speak them. Say what you spent, and AI fills in the amount, merchant, and category — no typing, no forms. Or snap a receipt. Or type a note. Whatever gets it in fastest. Manilo is an expense tracker and budget app built on voice and AI. Log transactions in seconds, set monthly budgets, share spending history with family or housemates, track accounts in any currency, and review everything on the web — all synced across your devices. — Voice and AI — Speak any transaction out loud: "Coffee at Blue Bottle, four seventy-five" or "Uber to the airport, twenty-two dollars." Manilo parses the amount, merchant, date, and category in under two seconds. Trigger it from the iPhone action button or a Siri shortcut — no app to open first. AI categorization learns your patterns. The first few times you log Whole Foods, it asks which category. After that, it knows. On-device voice processing — audio is never transmitted or stored. — Talk to Manilo from Any AI — Manilo ships a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. If you use Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible assistant, you can log, query, and edit transactions from inside your AI — without opening the app. No other expense tracker in the App Store offers this. Requires Manilo Cloud. — Receipt Scanning — Snap any receipt — grocery store, restaurant, hardware store. Manilo reads the total, merchant name, and date, then adds the transaction to your log. Confirm in one tap or let it save automatically. — Budgets — Set monthly spending limits by category. Manilo shows how much is left, not just how much was spent. Green when on track, orange when close, red when over. No spreadsheets. No end-of-month surprises. — Multi-Currency — Add accounts in any currency. Travel card in euros, savings in dollars, UK credit card in pounds. Manilo applies live exchange rates and shows everything converted to your home currency. Long-press any foreign balance to see its equivalent. — Shared Expenses — Create a group for the people you spend with — a household, a couple, a trip abroad. Everyone logs their own expenses into one shared history that all members can see. Budgets, categories, and charts apply across the whole group, in any currency. Track your London weekend in pounds and the household groceries in dollars — Manilo converts everything to one home view. Requires Manilo Cloud subscription. — Charts and Web Dashboard — The mobile app shows a category donut chart with filters by month, quarter, or custom range. The web dashboard at ledgy.app goes deeper: spending trends by day, category breakdowns, income vs. expense comparisons, and shared group summaries. Same data, every surface. Log your first expense in under ten seconds. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
