AI expense tracker without bank linking. Log by voice, scan receipts, import statements, and see your Financial Health Score. Fiscify is the personal CFO for people who could never afford one. Powered entirely by your own data. Spot wasted subscriptions, stick to a budget, and know exactly what to do next. Talk or type in plain English; our AI parses amounts, categories, and dates so you spend less time logging and more time understanding your money. WHY FISCIFY? • Natural language first: Type or speak a sentence like "$45 on sushi at Blue Fin last night" and the app fills in amount, payee, category, and date. No forms. (Free: 100 entries/month. Unlimited with Fiscify Plus.) • AI expense tracker: Intelligent extraction understands "coffee at Starbucks $5.99," "gas 32.50 Shell," and bulk entries so you can log in seconds. • Receipt scanner: Snap a photo of any receipt. AI extracts total, merchant, date, and category and creates the transaction for you. (Free: 15 scans/month. Unlimited with Fiscify Plus.) • Statement import: Upload bank statement PDFs, Excel, or CSV. AI extracts transactions so you can review and add them in one go. (Free: 3 imports/month.
