$19 once — that's the whole pricing page
Expensify charges $5–$9/user/mo — roughly $60 a year, every year. Snapreceipt is a single payment, and it keeps working whether or not we ever sell another copy.

Honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — Snapreceipt is MIT-licensed at github.com/bensblueprints/receipt-scanner-expense-mvp. The $19 buys the 1-click Windows installer; building from source is free.
Do my receipt images get uploaded?
No. OCR is 100% local, nothing auto-saves, and the only network access is a one-time ~11 MB download of the English OCR language data during install. After that it's fully offline.
Does the OCR always get it right?
Not always, and we'd rather say so. Extraction is a prefill you review — a wrong guess is just something you fix in the form before you click Save.
