Everything You Need to Stop Doing Expense Reports Manually
Four ways to capture expenses, instant alerts when spending is detected, and a daily digest to stay in control — all in one app.
Receipt photo scanning
Snap a photo or upload a receipt image and the AI extracts merchant name, amount, date, and expense category in seconds. Works on paper receipts and PDFs.
AI chat expense entry
Type any purchase in plain English and the AI creates a structured, categorized expense entry instantly. Get spending reports and cost-reduction advice.
Manual entry & full control
Prefer to enter expenses yourself? Add, edit, or delete any entry by hand at any time. AI features are optional — you stay in control.
Instant expense notifications
Get a push notification the moment Smart Expense auto-detects a new expense from your email, so nothing slips through unnoticed.
Daily review digest
Every day, Smart Expense sends a summary of all auto-detected expenses for you to review, confirm, or edit — keeping your log accurate with minimal effort.
