Q11. Product description [H]
ThatReceipt is a receipt scanning and bookkeeping service built for employees who claim their own expenses back. Almost every comparable tool on the market (Expensify, Xero, Wave) is sold to companies, accounting departments or freelancers keeping books for a business — nobody has built for the single employee sorting out their own claim. That gap is exactly where we come in.

It is very simple to use: as soon as you have paid, photograph the receipt with your phone. The system reads out the date, time, merchant name, category, currency and amount; confirm it and the entry is filed. At month end, one tap exports to Excel, CSV or PDF, and with a zip of the photos it all goes to your company or your accountant. If you would rather not take photos, every account gets its own email forwarding address — just forward the e-receipts from Uber, Klook, online shopping or subscription services and they file themselves. You can also upload PDF receipts straight from the website.

Three design commitments:

First, photos live only in the user's own Google Drive. We use the drive.file permission, which lets us read and write only the files we created ourselves, and our servers keep nothing. Users can take everything away or delete it at any time, so nobody has to worry about losing their receipts if the service shuts down. (The one exception: attachments that arrive by email are held in private storage for up to 7 days so they can be moved into the user's own Drive the next time they open the app, and are deleted the moment that is done.)

Second, automatic reconciliation at month end. Upload a credit card or bank statement (PDF, photo or CSV) and the system pulls out every transaction, matches it against your filed receipts by amount and date, and gives you three lists: matched, on the statement but no receipt, and receipts with nothing on the statement. Dates may differ by ±5 days (purchase date vs posting date), foreign currency gets a 5% exchange rate tolerance, and repayments and refunds are skipped automatically. Anything unmatched can be added as a record with one tap. The statement itself is never written to the database — it is discarded once processed.

Third, 11 languages and 166 display currencies. The interface comes in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English, Spanish, German, Japanese, Korean, French, Portuguese, Arabic (RTL) and Thai. Foreign currency receipts are converted to the user's primary currency at reference rates, but the ledger is always kept in HKD as the single source of truth, so shifting rates never scramble the numbers.

Q12. Main competitors / alternatives [H]
Expensify, Wave, Xero (plus pure receipt tools such as SparkReceipt). We publish a line-by-line comparison on our site; the reference prices are the public prices on each company's own site as of August 2026.

Q13. Biggest difference from competitors [H]
First, the positioning is different: every competitor sells either a company expense process or small business bookkeeping, and you need your boss or the accounts department to approve it before you can use it. ThatReceipt works for one employee on their own — no company procurement, no team account.

Second, the price is an order of magnitude apart: competitors typically charge US$5–19 a month (about HK$39–150) no matter how much you use. ThatReceipt goes as low as HK$0.2 a scan — 20 receipts in a month costs HK$4, and if you don't use it you don't pay. We can do that because we stay off the App Store and Play Store: no 30% platform cut, and no need to maintain separate native iOS and Android apps. What we save goes straight back into the price.

Third, the photos belong to the user: they go into the user's own Google Drive, and with the drive.file permission we technically cannot see anything else in that Drive. Competitors all keep them on their own servers.

Q14. Getting started [H]
1. Go to thatreceipt.com and sign in with a Google account (about 5 seconds; signing in gets you HK$500 of credit, valid for 30 days)
2. Authorise Google Drive (once); the system creates a ThatReceipt folder in your Drive for the original photos
3. Tap "Take photo" to shoot the receipt, or pick from your gallery / upload a PDF; a few seconds later the date, merchant and amount are filled in — confirm and it is filed
4. Going further: forward e-receipts to your dedicated address and you don't even need to take a photo
5. Month end: one tap in "Receipt records" exports to Excel / CSV / PDF; then upload your credit card statement for automatic reconciliation to confirm nothing is missing

【Developer story】

Q26. A message for readers
This product started from a very boring personal problem: every month end I had to sit down, dig a crumpled stack of receipts out of my wallet, my pockets and the car boot, type them into Excel one by one, then reconcile them against the credit card statement — and I'd often end up dozens of dollars off with no idea what I'd missed. Thermal paper receipts start fading after a fortnight; a month later you may not even be able to read the amount.

Looking at the tools on the market, I found a strange gap: they are all sold to companies or accountants. If you just want to handle your own claim as an ordinary employee, without waiting for company procurement to approve it, there is barely any choice — and what does exist costs a hundred-odd dollars a month, when I might only have twenty receipts.

So I built this. Two lines in the sand were set on day one: photos are not stored on our servers (they go into the user's own Google Drive), and we stay off the App Store and Play Store (saving the 30% cut, which goes straight back into the price). That second decision is what makes "HK$0.2 a scan" possible — and that is the single most important thing about the whole product.

Q27. What is interesting or appealing about the product
One — the accuracy figures are measured, not marketing
Amount recognition accuracy is 94.7%. Where that number comes from: on 2026-08-16 we ran 76 real receipts (each amount confirmed by hand as the reference) through the full production pipeline. Other fields in the same test: currency 98.7%, merchant name 84.2%, date 71.1%. The date figure is lower because some references used the claim date rather than the date printed on the receipt, not because the reading was wrong. Average time is about 3 seconds per receipt. These numbers are tied to a specific model and prompt; change either and the test has to be re-run before we quote them again — we do not adjust numbers out of thin air.

Two — "zero storage" is architectural, not a policy promise
Plenty of services say "we won't look at your data", but the files still sit on their side. ThatReceipt uses Google's drive.file permission: we can only read and write files we created ourselves, and we technically cannot see anything else in the user's Drive. Photos are uploaded from the user's own device straight into their own Drive, never passing through our servers. Even if we shut down one day, users won't lose a single receipt.

Three — "no app" is a strategy, not an inability
A lot of people ask why we aren't in the stores. The answer is blunt: being listed means handing over a 30% platform cut and maintaining two native apps, iOS and Android. At our price of HK$0.2 a scan, those costs would more than double it. We chose a PWA instead ("Add to Home Screen" on iOS) plus a direct .apk install from our site on Android — the experience is close to native, and every dollar saved goes back into the price.

Four — automatic statement reconciliation
This is the feature we think is most useful and that almost nobody builds. The slow part of an expense claim was never photographing receipts; it is going line by line through the statement at month end. Upload the statement and the system extracts every transaction, matches it against your receipts and tells you directly which ones have no receipt. The matching logic has to deal with a lot of real-world messiness: purchase dates a few days off posting dates, foreign currency rates and fees, instalments, refunds, repayments — all handled specifically. The statement is discarded once processed and never stays on our servers.

Five — emailed receipts don't even need a photo
Every account has its own address. Forward an Uber, Klook or online shopping confirmation and it is filed within tens of seconds. Anything with an attachment (a PDF invoice, say) is moved into your own Drive automatically the next time you open the app. Plain-text notification emails — Hong Kong's HKeToll tunnel fee notices, for instance — have no attachment at all, so the system draws the email content into a receipt image on the user's own device and saves that into their own Drive, which means there is still an attachment to hand in with the claim.

Six — 11 languages, 166 currencies, but the ledger is always HKD
Foreign currency receipts are converted at reference rates, and the interface and exports follow whichever primary currency the user picks, but the underlying accounting unit is always HKD. That decision avoids a very common trap: if every entry were recorded at the rate of the day, changing rates or switching display currency later would throw the books out.
