Expense tracking without the busywork. Reece turns receipt photos into organized expense records. Scan with the camera or choose images from Photos, review the recognized fields, and keep the receipt with the expense. Registration is optional: core features and App Store subscription purchase and restoration are available in guest mode. ORGANIZE EXPENSES • Recognize the merchant, date, total, VAT, currency and suggested category • Review and edit every field before saving • Separate personal and business expenses with multiple profiles on Plus and Premium • Search and filter receipt history and view monthly insights • Add an expense manually when there is no receipt • Export PDF, Excel and CSV reports with receipt images PLANS • Free: camera, gallery, files, manual entry, history and exports • Plus: unlimited monthly recognitions, multiple profiles and up to two receipts processed at a time • Premium: all Plus features and up to four receipts processed at a time • Plus and Premium are available as monthly and annual auto-renewable subscriptions The exact localized price and billing period are provided by Apple before you confirm. Purchase and Restore Purchases do not require a Reece account. If you choose to link a subscription to a registered Reece account, Reece asks first; one subscription can be linked to one registered account. To request a transfer, contact support; any transfer requires verification and is not automatic. PRIVACY AND CONTROL AI receipt recognition is optional. Before receipt content is sent to the third-party AI service, Reece explains what is shared and asks for permission. Decline to keep using manual entry and other non-AI features. Optional analytics and diagnostics are off by default. New receipt images uploaded for recognition or cloud sync have embedded photo metadata removed from the upload copy. Compatible older cloud copies are repaired when their owner next syncs; local files remain unchanged. The private structured recognition cache expires within seven days of the recognition request; submitted image bytes are not stored in that cache. Recognition can make mistakes. Review important amounts, dates, VAT and merchant details before relying on or exporting them.

Categories say what. Tael says what for. Two seconds now. An answer you'll badly want at the end of the month. Tap twice when you buy something — or teach Tael a rule and watch it file itself. Then, whenever you wonder what the Japan trip really cost, or whether that client was worth the trouble, the number is already waiting. No bank login. No setup evening. Nothing ever leaves your phone. IT TRACKS WHAT YOU ACTUALLY THINK ABOUT Not Shopping. Not Miscellaneous. The Japan trip. The kitchen renovation. Sundays with your dad. How good it felt. One purchase can belong to several at once — that supermarket run was part groceries, part the dinner party, part the trip — so you never have to pick. SO YOU CAN FINALLY ANSWER • What the whole trip cost — flights, that dinner, the taxi, the 1am souvenir • Whether this client is worth it, once the lunches and the software are in • What the hobby actually costs over a year, and whether you'd miss it • Which purchases you're still glad about a month later Not after a weekend of reconciling. On a Tuesday, in four seconds. IT LEARNS, SO YOU STOP HAVING TO Show it once that your Tuesday coffee is client work, and every Tuesday coffee after that files itself — your Shortcut fires, your rule matches, and it's logged without you opening the app. Everything else is two taps from the lock screen. Correct it once and it remembers. Every correction is one fewer decision, permanently. Nothing to configure on day one — Tael suggests the rules and you say yes. Or open them up and write your own, if that's more your thing. You could do all this in a spreadsheet. People do, for about three weeks. This is the version that survives a busy fortnight. NOBODY SEES THIS BUT YOU No account. No sign-up. Your ledger — every purchase, note, category and rating — is stored on your device and stays there. We never receive it and have no way to read it. Tael never collects your transactions, amounts, notes or categories. Which is why you'll actually record that the dinner was a 3 out of 10, or that you're still annoyed about the jacket. That's the honest version, and the honest version is the one worth having. EVERY CURRENCY, ONE LEDGER Pay in yen, log in yen. Tael does the maths, so a trip is one number instead of four. WHAT'S IN IT • Two-tap capture from the lock screen • Log from anywhere with Shortcuts and automations • Your own categories, that cross each other • One purchase, split across everything it belongs to • Rules suggested from your corrections, or written by you • Multi-currency, one ledger • Works offline, always WHO IT'S FOR People who want their money to make sense on their own terms — whether that means a proper system or just knowing what the holiday cost. Not for people who want an app to drain a bank feed and budget for them with no involvement at all. Tael asks for a little of you early on, but delivers a lot for you later. Tael is free to use. Tael Pro is an optional subscription that unlocks unlimited smart rules and enhanced capabilities — see in-app for details.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Tael at every 3 days against Reece's weekly. Reece's advantage is iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
