If you need to turn emailed receipts and invoices into bookkeeping records, Receiptor AI finds them and extracts the key details for you.
Buy it only if automated inbox capture is worth $29 a month to you; it is often compared with Dext, but focuses more on finding documents upstream.
Who it's for
Receiptor AI is built for you if receipts arrive through email and must reach Xero or QuickBooks. You will be disappointed if paper receipts, approvals, or bank feeds drive most of your expense work.
Buy it if
- You receive supplier invoices and subscription receipts in Gmail, Outlook, or an IMAP inbox.
- You already use Xero or QuickBooks and want source documents attached to exported records.
- You manage more than one business from a shared inbox and need documents routed by entity.
Skip it if
- You mainly photograph paper receipts and want a dedicated mobile scanning app.
- You need employee approvals, reimbursements, and bank-feed matching in one workflow.
- You cannot review occasional questions about refunds, split payments, or unclear business purposes.
Your first hour
You need a payment card to start the 14-day trial. Then you connect an inbox or upload a document, so the first usable result can appear within minutes.
- Start the trial Add a card for the 14-day trial, which you can extend by 1 additional week.
- Connect a source Authorize Gmail, Outlook, or another IMAP inbox, or send a document through WhatsApp.
- Check one document Reports place processing at roughly 30 seconds per document, though difficult files may need review.
- Choose an export Connect 1 accounting destination on Starter if you want to send records to Xero or QuickBooks.
The learning curve is light if your categories already exist, but unclear expenses still need your answer.
What you actually get per plan
Receiptor AI has no permanent free plan. Subscriptions start at $29 per month, with quarterly and yearly billing discounts, and most active solo businesses will outgrow Starter’s 50 captured documents quickly.
| Plan | Price | What’s inside | Catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $29/month | 500 items checked, 50 documents captured, 1 accounting connection | Usage overages apply |
| Growth | $79/month | 2,500 items checked, 250 documents captured, 2 accounting connections | Usage overages apply |
| Scale | $199/month | 10,000 items checked, 1,000 documents captured, 5 accounting connections | Usage overages apply |
| Enterprise | Quote | Tailored setup and custom limits | Price is not published |
Each new workspace includes one free retroactive month, but later retroactive scans are priced separately.
Three real situations
The value comes from replacing repetitive inbox searching, not from eliminating bookkeeping judgment.
A freelance designer with three retainer clients
They can start at $29 per month and capture emailed software and travel receipts automatically. Starter stops at 50 captured documents, so frequent client purchases may push them to Growth.
A two-person online store using Xero
They can route supplier invoices from a shared inbox into Xero with originals attached. Growth includes 2 accounting connections and 250 captured documents for $79 per month.
A creator with a weekly newsletter and paper receipts
This is not the right buy when most receipts start as photos or physical slips. A phone scanning app and a monthly folder for an accountant is the simpler route than paying $29 per month for inbox capture.
Where it falls short
Low-quality images and non-standard formats can require corrections. Reviewers also report that refunds and split payments may be misclassified, while the threshold for automatic posting versus review is unclear. Compared with Dext, Receiptor AI is less suited to complex expense approvals and has no native bank feeds.
Starter includes only 50 captured documents, and excess usage costs $0.04 per document. Extra items checked cost $0.01 each, agent queries cost $0.01 each, and extra accounting connections cost $12 each. That hurts businesses with unpredictable inbox volume. Documents remain stored until you delete them, which matters if you need fixed retention periods.
Watch out: The trial needs a card, and subscription refunds are only considered within 1 day after the trial ends.
