Is the receipt scanner free?

Yes, on every plan: each reading uses one AI action, and Free has 20 a month.

What if the AI reads a number wrong?

You see every field before the expense is saved, and you can change any of them.

Can I forward receipts by email?

Yes, on Team: each workspace has its own inbox address, and each forwarded receipt or bill becomes a proposal you confirm on the Inbox page.

Features / AI receipt scanner

AI receipt scanner that turns photos into expenses

Attach a photo of a receipt in Clodou's chat with the paperclip. The AI reads what is printed on it (the supplier, the date, the amount before tax, the tax, the total and a category) and fills in an expense for you to check. Nothing is saved until you confirm it. On Team, you can also forward receipts and supplier bills to your workspace's inbox address.

What it does, and what it doesn't

It does

Reads PNG, JPEG, WebP and GIF photos.
Returns only what is printed on the receipt, with empty fields when something is unreadable.
An inbox address per workspace on Team: only members and the senders you allow can use it, and emails that fail sender checks (DMARC) are refused.
Each reading counts as one AI action.

It does not

Save anything before you confirm it.
Read PDF files in the chat: attach a photo or a screenshot.
Connect to your bank or card, or track mileage.

Plans

Every plan, Free included. Each request uses AI actions: 20 a month on Free, 400 on Solo ($29 a month), 1,500 on Team ($79 a month). Every workspace starts with a 14-day Team trial (150 AI actions, no card). The inbox address comes with Team and the trial.
