Bulk pays off for onboarding, year-end rescue, and litigation-ish boxes—not for Tuesday’s coffee unless you enjoy drama.

Three moves that survive a bad Wi-Fi week

  • Capture the same day as spend—thermal paper is not sentimental.
  • One workspace truth. Parallel FINAL spreadsheets are a hobby, not a system.
  • Freeze export columns after your accountant signs once per year.

Honest numbers you can steal for an internal slide

Name a human owner for batch QA—anonymous “the team” owns nothing and fixes nothing.

When you should ignore this article entirely

If you truly process a handful of slips a year and your current folder works, do not buy software out of guilt. Go outside. Touch grass. Keep the folder.

Straight answers

Does my tax office care which app I use?

They care about readable, dated evidence you can produce on request. Habits beat logos.

Are bank feeds enough on their own?

Feeds show money moved, not what you bought. Attach the receipt while you still remember why.

What OCR accuracy should I plan for?

On clean slips, mid-nineties field-level is realistic in serious products. Crumpled paper costs reviewer time—budget it.

Cheapest moral stance on pricing?

If Solo fits your volume, stay Solo. $12/mo on annual billing is cheaper than an hour of qualified retyping.

When is AiReceiptScanner the wrong tool?

When your chart of accounts is chaos or capture is already solved. Fix the bottleneck, not the brochure.

If you want structured capture without a spreadsheet hobby, open AiReceiptScanner with five ugly receipts and time the export. Solo is $12/mo on annual billing—cheaper than one hour of anyone qualified retyping. If Solo fits, buy Solo. We are not subtle about that.
