Question 1

Why build a budget from receipts instead of a spreadsheet template?

Accepted Answer

A blank spreadsheet only works if you keep entering numbers manually. Starting from your actual scanned receipts gives you real category totals instead of estimates.

Question 2

How does Receipt AI turn receipts into a budget?

Accepted Answer

Every receipt you scan is categorized automatically (meals, travel, software, etc.). The monthly report totals each category so you can see where your money actually goes.

Question 3

Can I compare budget vs. actual spending month over month?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the reports view breaks down spending by month and category so you can compare trends over time.

Question 4

Does this work for personal budgets or just businesses?

Accepted Answer

Both. Freelancers and small business owners use it for business budgets, and it works just as well for tracking personal monthly spending.
