Foreceipt

Foreceipt is expense-tracking software for freelancers and small businesses, available on Android, iOS, and the web. It suits people who want to bring receipts, bank transactions, and tax-oriented reports into one workflow, though its free plan is tightly capped.

Its strongest case is practical record keeping across mobile and web; the main trade-off is limited receipt-field extraction and a need to move to a paid plan for longer retention or heavier use.

Overview

Foreceipt combines photographed paper receipts and emailed digital receipts with expense categorization and reporting. Users can also scan invoices to add income, import bank transactions in bulk from PDF statements or CSV files, and set recurring instructions to generate expense or income records when due.

Business expense categories cover the U.S. and Canada and can be customized. Reports export to Excel or PDF for sharing with an accountant or tax filing. OCR field coverage is merchant, date, and total, which supports basic record capture but may be limiting for anyone who needs more receipt details extracted.

Foreceipt says its mobile apps sync with its web portal. Its privacy policy describes practical and reasonable steps to protect personal information and limits server access to personnel whose duties require it. iPhone in-app payments go through Apple iTunes; web and Android payments go through Stripe.

Key features

Receipt capture and reports

Camera capture and email forwarding give users options for paper and digital receipts. The free tier's 100-receipt retention cap and 10-report allowance are suitable for a small or occasional workload, but regular business filing could outgrow them. Individual raises the monthly receipt allowance to 200 and removes the report cap; Business removes the monthly receipt limit.

Bank imports and recurring records

Bulk imports from PDF bank statements and CSV files can help consolidate transactions without entering each one separately. The Free Plan allows up to two PDF bank statements, while recurring instructions can automatically generate predictable expense or income records when due.

QuickBooks

Business connects to QuickBooks Online, imports its chart of accounts, and can push receipts individually or in batches. That is a meaningful reason to choose Business for a small company already using QuickBooks; users who do not need that connection may find Individual sufficient.

Pricing

Foreceipt is freemium. The Free Plan costs nothing and includes up to 100 receipts retained for up to 12 months, two team members, up to two PDF bank statements, and up to 10 PDF/Excel reports. It is a reasonable starting point for light use, but the short retention and report ceiling make it a poor fit for maintaining a larger ongoing archive.

The Individual Plan costs $5 a month, billed 5 USD /mo, or $6.25 a month(save 20%) as shown for the annual option. It allows 200 receipts per month, keeps receipts for up to seven years, includes two team members, unlimited PDF/Excel reports, and email support. It is the practical step up for an individual or small operation needing longer retention and more reporting, but it is only available to subscribe from the web.

The Business Plan costs $12 a month, billed 12 USD /mo, or 15 USD/mo(save 20%) as shown for the annual option. It includes unlimited receipts per month, seven-year retention, two team members, QuickBooks Online integration, unlimited PDF/Excel reports, and email and phone support. Additional team members cost 72 USD/user/year. The plan fits a small business that needs QuickBooks or more receipt capacity, while teams larger than two should account for the per-user charge.

Platforms

Foreceipt is available on Android, iOS, and the web, with data syncing between its mobile apps and web portal. That combination suits users who capture receipts on a phone but handle records or reports from a browser.

Who it's for

Foreceipt is best suited to freelancers and small businesses that want receipt capture, basic categorization, bank imports, and exportable reports in one service. Its U.S. and Canada tax categories are useful for businesses working in those markets; the product's category coverage may be less tailored elsewhere. Users needing OCR beyond merchant, date, and total should consider a different workflow.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Paper and emailed receipt capture, invoice-based income records, bank imports, recurring records, and Excel/PDF reporting bring several routine bookkeeping tasks together.
• Pros: Seven-year retention on paid plans and unlimited reports on Individual and Business make them more suitable than Free for ongoing records.
• Pros: Business adds QuickBooks Online integration and phone support for users who need either.
• Cons: Free retains only 100 receipts for up to 12 months and allows 10 reports, which constrains sustained use.
• Cons: OCR covers only merchant, date, and total, limiting automated capture to core fields.
• Cons: Individual subscriptions are web-only, and Business charges 72 USD/user/year for each team member beyond the two included.

Verdict

Choose Foreceipt if you are a freelancer or small business that wants mobile-and-web receipt capture, bank imports, and tax-ready report exports, with paid plans extending retention and adding capacity. Look elsewhere if you need richer receipt-field extraction or do not want to manage the free plan's caps and paid-plan limits.
