Built-in on-device OCR
A text-recognition engine runs directly in your browser. When the enhanced reading service is unavailable, scanning keeps working — your receipt never has to leave the device to be read.
Receipt scanner
A receipt scanner that puts your privacy first
Snap a photo or upload a PDF and Costmanager.online reads every item — product, quantity, price, category — with a built-in OCR engine that runs right in your browser. You review each line before anything is saved, then your receipts become item-level spending and price intelligence.
3 months free, then €1.99/month — VAT included
Everything a good receipt scanner should do
You approve every line
Nothing is saved until you say so. Merchant, date, VAT, total and each individual item are shown for review first — correct anything with a tap.
Item-level detail
A receipt is a collection of products. Each line keeps its own name, quantity, price, category and subcategory, not a single lump sum.
Multilingual recognition
Products are recognised across languages, abbreviations and OCR noise, so the same product stays one product — while the original receipt wording is preserved.
Currencies kept separate
Receipts in different currencies are tracked side by side and never mixed into one misleading total.
Price intelligence
Compare what you actually paid at each shop over time and see where a product has been cheapest in your own purchase history.
How it works
01
Capture
Snap a photo with your camera or upload an image or PDF. Crumpled till rolls and thermal printouts are handled with light image clean-up before reading.
02
Review
Check the extracted lines — product, quantity, price, category. Fix anything the scanner misread, then save when it is right.
03
Track
Spending insights, category breakdowns and shop-by-shop price comparisons build up from your real receipts — no estimates, no fabricated data.
Privacy, in plain terms
- The built-in OCR engine runs in your browser — the fallback reading path works without uploading your receipt.
- Extracted lines are a draft until you approve them; nothing is saved to your account before that.
- Your receipts live only in your account and are never sold or shared.
- Delete any receipt, or your whole ledger, whenever you want.
Frequently asked questions
Is my receipt data private?
Yes. Your receipts are stored in your own account, never sold or shared, and you can delete any receipt at any time. The built-in OCR engine runs in your browser, so even the fallback reading path can work without sending your receipt anywhere.
What kinds of receipts can it read?
Photographed till rolls, printed receipts and PDF receipts. Text embedded in PDFs is read directly; images go through on-device text recognition with image clean-up for low-quality thermal prints.
What does it cost?
You get 3 months free when you sign up — no card required. After the trial it is €1.99 per month, VAT included.
