Receipt scanning expense apps

This cluster consists of mobile and web apps that scan receipts via OCR or AI to automatically extract merchant, totals, and categories, then generate expense reports, track budgets, and offer insights. The dated entries before the index start span from August 2010 to July 2026, with a modest concentration in the last three months, while earlier years have only occasional entries. Among the members with activity signals, papertrail and ReceiptScannerApp each have 1 star, and Moneo has 0.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
