Find answers to common questions about Receiptix

Basics

What is Receiptix?

Receiptix is an expense tracker that does the data entry for you. Photograph a receipt and it pulls out the merchant, date, total, and every line item — or type an expense, say it out loud, or message it to a bot, and it gets filed automatically. Everything lives in one account, synced across your phone, watch, and the web.

Is Receiptix free?

Yes. Manual expense entry is free and unlimited, along with categorization, spending charts, multi-currency tracking, and cloud sync across your devices. A Pro subscription adds the automated features — AI receipt scanning, voice logging, smart item-level categorization, shared Projects, custom tags, and detailed reports with export. Start free and upgrade whenever you want the automation.

How does Receiptix work?

You capture an expense however suits the moment — photograph a receipt, type it, speak it, or message it to a bot. Receiptix reads the details, sorts each item into a category, and saves it to your account. From there you get charts, reports, and a running total you can slice by date, tag, or project.

Is Receiptix available on iPhone, Android, and the web?

Yes — there are native apps for iOS and Android (plus an Apple Watch app), and a web version at app.receiptix.io that uses the same account and data. Add an expense on your phone and it's on the web a moment later, and the other way around.

Ways to capture expenses

Can I add expenses without opening the app?

Yes — Receiptix can capture expenses from several places, and they all sync straight to your account:

  • WhatsApp or Telegram — message the bot an expense, snap a receipt, or send a PDF
  • Email — forward any receipt email to your personal @in.receiptix.io address
  • Chrome — save online receipts from your browser with the extension
  • Apple Watch, Siri, and widgets — log or check spending without unlocking your phone

How does the WhatsApp bot work?

Message the Receiptix WhatsApp bot an expense in plain language — "12.50 lunch" — or send a photo of a receipt or a PDF, and it's added to your account automatically. You can even log your first expenses before installing the app: just start the chat at receiptix.io/whatsapp.

How does the Telegram bot work?

The same way, through Telegram. Send the Receiptix bot (@receiptix_bot) a text expense or a photo of a receipt and it syncs to your account. Handy if Telegram is where you already spend your time.

Can I forward receipts by email?

Yes. Receiptix gives you a personal @in.receiptix.io address — forward any receipt email to it (an order confirmation, a hotel bill, an e-receipt) and it becomes an expense automatically. PDF and image attachments get scanned like any receipt; plain-text receipts get read from the email body. Each project can have its own address, too.

How email forwarding works

Can I scan paper receipts?

Yes — point your camera at a receipt and Receiptix reads the merchant, date, total, and each line item, then files it. It handles printed receipts in any language. The scanning is accurate, but it's worth a glance for handwritten or faded receipts, and anything it gets wrong is a tap to fix.

Can I log expenses by voice?

Yes. Tap the mic and say what happened — "lunch at Chipotle, thirty-five bucks" — and Receiptix turns it into a full entry with the amount, merchant, category, and date. It understands natural speech, so "about forty euros for the taxi" works just as well. Good for when your hands are full.

About voice mode

Can I capture online receipts from my browser?

Yes — the Receiptix Chrome extension saves online and email receipts straight from your browser with a keyboard shortcut (⌘+Shift+E on Mac, Alt+Shift+E on Windows) or a right-click. It handles screenshots, PDFs, and selected text, signs in with your Google account, and syncs everything to your Receiptix account.

Add to Chrome

Does Receiptix work on Apple Watch, Siri, and widgets?

On iPhone, yes to all three. The Apple Watch app logs an expense by voice or a couple of taps. Siri adds one without opening the app — "Add expense with Receiptix" — using your current project and currency. Home-screen widgets (on iOS and Android) show your spending total and trend at a glance.

Organizing & sharing

What are Projects?

Projects are separate spaces for expenses that deserve their own budget — a home renovation, a group trip, a freelance client, a shared household. Each one has its own receipts, reports, currency, and member list, kept apart from your personal spending, and a dropdown switches between them. Creating projects is a Pro feature.

About Projects

Can I share expenses and track them with other people?

Yes. Open a project, tap Share, and send the invite link to whoever's involved. They join and log their own expenses to the same project — by scan, voice, or typing — and the project report breaks spending down by person, so settling up is just math instead of a group chat. The owner manages members, and joining a shared project is free even without a Pro subscription of your own.

Does Receiptix categorize expenses automatically?

Yes, and it does it per item rather than per receipt. Buy shampoo and snacks in one supermarket run and the shampoo lands under Healthcare, the snacks under Food — automatically, from reading the merchant name and each line item. If it ever picks the wrong one, a tap changes it.

What's the difference between categories and tags?

They do different jobs:

  • Categories apply to individual items; tags apply to a whole transaction
  • Categories are a fixed list the AI uses for automatic sorting; tags are fully customizable
  • You can add several tags to one transaction, so they're great for flexible organizing

Together you get reliable automatic categorization for items, plus custom tags for organizing transactions however you like.

Can I add custom categories?

Categories are a fixed list because the AI relies on them for consistent automatic sorting, so you can't add your own. Tags are the flexible alternative — fully customizable, as many as you like per transaction — and they exist for exactly this. Use tags to organize by client, trip, event, or anything else specific to you.

Reports & money

What reports and charts do I get?

Receiptix turns your expenses into charts — spending by category, by custom tag (handy for what's tax-deductible or reimbursable), or by person in a shared project. Pick any date range and the numbers adjust. When you need something official, export a PDF summary on the spot, or a detailed report with the actual receipt images emailed to you.

Can I export my data?

Yes. Export a quick PDF summary from your device, a detailed expense report with receipt images (generated on our servers and emailed to you), or raw data as CSV for a spreadsheet or your accountant. Exports respect whatever filters and date range you're viewing.

Can I track expenses in multiple currencies?

Yes — log expenses in any currency and Receiptix converts them into your base currency for totals and reports, so a trip full of mixed receipts still adds up cleanly. Each project can have its own currency, too.

Can I use Receiptix for business or travel?

Both. For business, use Projects to separate work from personal spending, tags for clients or reimbursable costs, and PDF or CSV reports for your records. For travel, multi-currency and receipt scanning in any language have you covered — though if travel is your main use, our sister app Spentrip is built around trips, with automatic currency conversion.

Account, sync & security

Does my data sync across my devices?

Yes, in real time, and it's free on every account. Add an expense on your phone and it shows up on the web and your other devices straight away. No connection? You can still add and edit — Receiptix saves locally and uploads automatically once you're back online. Shared projects update live for every member.

Is my data secure?

Yes. Your data is stored in Google's cloud (Firestore), encrypted in transit and at rest, and reachable only through your signed-in account. We don't sell your data or share it with third parties without your consent.

What subscription plans are available?

Receiptix Pro comes as a monthly or annual plan, with lifetime access offered during occasional promotions. Pro unlocks the automated features — receipt scanning, voice, Projects and sharing, custom tags, and detailed reports. Current pricing is in the app on the upgrade screen.

How do I restore my Pro subscription?

If you've already bought Pro but it isn't showing after a reinstall or a new device, restore it in a few taps:

  1. On the Home screen, tap the profile icon in the top-right corner
  2. If you see the "Pro" label, your subscription is already active
  3. If not, tap "Upgrade"
  4. On the paywall screen, tap "Restore purchases" at the bottom
  5. Close the paywall — Pro should now be restored
