AI scans every receipt — paper, PDF, or email — and files merchant, amount, and category. Push to Xero or QuickBooks. Share with your accountant in one tap.
SparkReceipt is an AI receipt scanner and expense tracker app for freelancers, self-employed professionals, and small business owners. Snap any receipt and SparkReceipt extracts the merchant, amount, date, category and line items in seconds. Connect your inbox, forward email receipts, or upload PDFs and the app handles the rest.
EMAIL INBOX AUTO-SCANNING
Connect Gmail or Outlook and SparkReceipt automatically finds and imports email receipts as they arrive. No more digging through your inbox at month end or before tax season. You stay in control: review, approve, and exclude senders any time.
EMAIL RECEIPT FORWARDING
Prefer to file receipts manually? Forward eReceipts to your personal SparkReceipt address and the AI files them for you. Useful for shared inboxes or accounts you do not want to connect.
AI RECEIPT SCANNING (OCR)
The OCR receipt scanner reads paper receipts, PDF invoices, and forwarded email receipts in any language and currency. Smart categorization is based on the products on the receipt, not just the merchant name, so business expenses end up in the right account.
INCOME, EXPENSES, AND PROFIT/LOSS TRACKING
Track income alongside expenses for real-time profit and loss across your business. Tag expenses by client, project, or trip. Convert any currency at accurate historical daily rates for clean tax reporting.
XERO AND QUICKBOOKS INTEGRATION
Connect SparkReceipt to Xero or QuickBooks Online and push categorized receipts straight to your accounting software. Export reports as PDF, Excel, or CSV when your accountant asks. Webhooks and a public API let you plug SparkReceipt into your existing workflow.
SHARE WITH YOUR ACCOUNTANT
Invite your accountant directly into SparkReceipt or share a secure link. Stop emailing receipts as attachments. Set time limits to auto-hide shared receipts after tax season.
TEAM COLLABORATION
Invite teammates and keep everyone's receipts and expenses organized in one secure place. Sort by category, tag, or user, and approve expense reports together.
CLOUD STORAGE THAT WORKS EVERYWHERE
Documents are encrypted and backed up in the cloud. Access them from iPhone, iPad, or any browser via the SparkReceipt web app at no extra cost.

I played with the software for about 15 minutes, and I can already tell this is going to be a huge timesaver for my small business. Scanning receipts and printing expense reports is quick and easy. The automatic AI data input is about 90% accurate. It seems to have trouble adding tips, but that could be my handwriting. :) What I really appreciate and didn't expect, is that links and/or images to the digital copies of receipts can be embedded into the custom expense reports. 6 Month Update: I originally posted a review after using the software a few weeks. Six months later, my review of SparkReceipt is still five stars! If I could give it six stars, I would. The new auto-scanning function quickly identifies the edges of receipts and saves them. Just point your camera at the receipt, the software does it all. The app also extracts details from PDF receipts that are attached to emails. You no longer have to download the PDF, save it, and then upload it to the expense tracker. Another huge time-saver.
So glad I found this!
Friend of Frodo
I have been using SparkReceipt for a year now and it has been an incredible help and time saver for me. I experimented with every similar app and website I could find and immediately noticed that this one somehow has MUCH better AI OCR (optical character recognition) than the others. While others struggled to read my old wrinkled receipts, this one did so immediately with few problems. It is also the most simple and intuitive design, which is what I want … just get my info and give me the report I need. I use it all day .. I use the app to snap a photo of the receipt and it’s done and I throw the receipt away, or drag and drop from my desktop or email, and the report is what I want. Super easy and fast and effective. Thank you everyone at SparkReceipt!

Ok! I know I sound like an infomercial but hear me out. I have been in business for over 15 years and I always get cranky when it comes time to do this (because it isn’t my wheelhouse and I want to do the correct thing). I have tried many apps that claimed to be the ‘thing’…I am looking at you QB but I don’t get it. This is simple for me and it keeps getting better AND I spoke personally with one of the developers to discuss my business user cases. I feel empowered knowing I have this tool in my business.
