- scrrr 15y agoI always thought that the problem with all those data tracking apps (for example "Dayta") was that it took so much time to enter the data so that after a while the user wouldn't care. If this really solves the problem (can't try, I'm an Android user) then I wish them much success. Android-port anyone?
- pabloiv 15y agoYup, we extract the Venue, purchase total, and assignit a category, in about 3 minutes. We're working on an android app, but before that we'll probably have a submit by email solution. Would that be enough for you if it were available?
- cleverjake 15y agowould be for me
- pabloiv 15y agoAwesome. We'll double our efforts!
- scrrr 15y agoYeah would be great. :) I like getting stuff by mail. As long as its in a format I can easily store/process I mean.
- pabloiv 15y agoHi HN, I'm part of the team here at receiptloader. if you have any questions, please ask anything you'd like.
- arcdrag 15y agoThere's lots of people out there that simply don't use cash anymore. Does this service have anything to offer people like me that mint doesn't already offer? I see the use if you make most of your purchases in cash...just not otherwise.
- pabloiv 15y agoBesides extracting the data from the recipt we also keep the image. From beta testers this has been useful for expense reports which require evidence, as well as for returning items at stores. Of course returns depend on the original vendor, but we've had beta testers return stuff at grocery stores, brick and mortar tech stores, and such. Ultimately this is useful for submitting tax returns come April.
- wccrawford 15y agoI dunno about you, but while my credit card company does itemize my transactions, they don't provide any sort of reporting tool to track how I spent my money. (They do provide a CSV export, which is suddenly looking like something I should try to analyze.)
- arcdrag 15y agoMint does a pretty good job in analysis. It categorizes anything I spend at Schnucks for example as "Groceries" and allows you to track how much you've spent this month compared to previous months and such. It only fails in purchases from places like Wal-Mart, where what you purchase can vary wildly.
- PedroCandeias 15y agoWell, it offers a lot to people outside the states for whom nothing like mint is available.
- lorelaura 15y agoNice work, it's an great app for people like me. Juz curious, how this technology works?. thnx
- humblepie 15y agoThis is really looking cool. But now I have to ask for receipts when I get doughnuts.

- Kwpolska 15y agoI want this on Android. According to their website, it will be here soon.
- pabloiv 15y agoWe'll have the android app out probably within the next couple of months. In the meantime we're working on a submit by email utility which should be ready much sooner.
- budu3 15y agoCan you explain what you mean by submit by email utility? Do you mean a web app that allows you to submit receipts via email?
- rowesk 15y agoCan I add custom fields (i.e. to search for and collect a 10 digit alphanumeric tracking number on postage receipts, por example)?
- ednc 15y agoI like the concept, but $7/Month for the base plan seems like another subscription I just don't want to deal with (and a bit more than I would be willing to pay) You should consider an annual pricing plan, and a lower rate. (I pay $45/year for evernote, and it solves a lot more pain points for me) Again, like the concept, so please take this as the constrictive feedback it is meant to be.
- foobarbazetc 15y agoEvernote has $93M in funding... Just saying. :) I wouldn't pay $7/m for this service though. :)
- dkarl 15y agoI can see how this would be nice for people who prefer cash over cards, but it seems like a lot of work unless you're tracking expenses for reimbursement. I'd rather just use credit and debit cards and let an app like Mint handle the categorization and bookkeeping.
- MabelV 15y agoGreat application.I was a beta tester, my car was stolen with just purchased merchandise.I got the receipts for the insurance claim from the application.
