Scan receipts with local OCR and export tax-ready reports — nothing uploaded.
Developers rent API docs, monitoring, secrets and webhook plumbing by the month for side projects that earn nothing yet. Self-hosted pay-once utilities cost less than one month of the SaaS they replace.
The tool this job usually means renting is Expensify, at $5–$9/user/mo — roughly $60 a year, every year. Snapreceipt does the job for a one-time $19 — running locally on your own machine.
Drag and drop images, use the file picker, or point a watched folder at your phone-sync directory to land photos in a review inbox.
For developers, import anything pays off while you're shipping, not managing vendor accounts — and it's covered by the same one-time $19, not metered per month.
tesseract.js runs entirely on-disk to pull vendor, date, total and tax as an editable prefill you review before saving.
For developers, local OCR auto-extract pays off while you're shipping, not managing vendor accounts — and it's covered by the same one-time $19, not metered per month.
A bundled category list plus your own, with free-form project and client tags for billable-expense tracking.
For developers, categories + project tags pays off while you're shipping, not managing vendor accounts — and it's covered by the same one-time $19, not metered per month.
One payment of $19 gets you the packaged Windows installer, or clone the MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/receipt-scanner-expense-mvp and build it yourself for free.
Drag an image in or watch a folder — local OCR prefills the vendor, date, total and tax into an editable form.
Fix any prefill, hit Save, then export a CSV or a PDF report with receipt thumbnails for your accountant.
Snapreceipt is $19, once. Expensify at $5–$9/user/mo — roughly $60 a year, every year. At Expensify's $5–9 per user per month, one person spends $15–27 in a single quarter — more than Snapreceipt costs once, for life.
At Expensify's $5–9 per user per month, one person spends $15–27 in a single quarter — more than Snapreceipt costs once, for life. Snapreceipt costs $19 once; Expensify charges $5–$9/user/mo — about $60 a year. For developers, that fixed cost is the whole point: the tool is a one-time line item, not a monthly one.
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.
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.
