Receiptor connects to Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo or WhatsApp and extracts receipts and invoices from the messages already sitting there, categorising each by the context of the purchase and syncing the result to QuickBooks, Xero or Expensify.
Retroactive scanning is the feature worth paying for. Every expense tool starts working from the day you install it, which leaves the previous three years of receipts buried in an inbox where they are needed only at the worst possible moment. Scanning backwards through years of history turns a filing problem into a search problem.
Merlino prices it at $29, $79 and $199 a month, with retroactive scans quoted separately from about $0.012 an email, across multiple languages and currencies. There is no free tier, granting a tool access to an entire email history is a real decision, and automatic categorisation still needs review before it reaches a tax return.
