Spendly: Receipt, Expense

Finance

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Cloud OCR now reads crumpled, faded, and screenshot receipts. New CPA-ready tax package: one PDF with every receipt attached, ready for your accountant. Spendly keeps your receipts organized by project — not in one chaotic pile, but bucketed under whatever you're actually working on: a client engagement, a film shoot, a rental property, a vacation, a side hustle. At tax time, you tap "Export Schedule C" and hand it to your accountant. It's built for the way freelancers and small project-based teams actually work. Every expense lives inside a project. You scan, Spendly reads the receipt (vendor, date, total, card last-4, location), and the entry lands in the right bucket. Mileage is a first-class entry from day one — type a start and end address and Spendly calculates the miles at the IRS standard rate. WHY THIS ISN'T ANOTHER EXPENSE APP Most expense apps were built for accountants — heavy, enterprise, accounts-payable. Spendly was built for the photographer who shot three weddings this month, the producer who ran a commercial, the consultant juggling four clients. You don't want one flat list of every dollar you've ever spent. You want to know what "Vacation 2026" actually cost. What you can deduct from the Acme Co engagement. What the lighting kit for last month's shoot added up to. FREE INCLUDES • Scan receipts — on-device OCR reads them, never leaves your phone • Manual entries, mileage with auto-distance, per diem • Up to 5 projects • IRS Schedule C categories baked in • CSV, Excel, and PDF exports • iCloud sync across all your devices, encrypted end-to-end • Custom categories and tags • Duplicate receipt detection • Project budget bars with optional low-fund alerts SPENDLY PRO ADDS • Cloud OCR — reads crumpled, faded, and screenshot receipts the on-device engine misses • AI auto-categorize — every manual entry gets the right Schedule C category, automatically • Monthly AI insights — "Your meals are up 40% this month" • "Mileage in October was light vs your annual pattern" • CPA-ready tax package — one PDF with the Schedule C summary, payment-method breakdown, mileage detail log, and every receipt image attached as an appendix. Hand it straight to your accountant. • Natural-language search — type "SF meals over $50 in April" and get a filtered list • Custom export columns — choose exactly which fields appear in your exports • Unlimited projects PRICING $8.99 / month or $59.99 / year (save 44%). First 7 days free. BUILT BY ONE PERSON Spendly is an indie app — no team, no investors. Built by someone who came out of the film industry, taught himself to code, and made the receipt-tracking tool he wished he had on set. If it saves you time at tax season or helps you find one extra deduction, that's the whole point. Your data lives in your own iCloud private database. We never see it. Receipt images on the cloud OCR path are sent over HTTPS, processed, and discarded — not stored. Spendly is an expense-organization tool. It is not tax advice. Please consult a qualified tax professional for filing decisions.
