- Automatic sync with QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks
- Smart reminders: notifies client to snap new receipts weekly
- Wash-resistant AI: handles crumpled, faded, or washed receipts
Target Users: Small business clients of bookkeepers/accountants (1-20 employees, any industry)
Revenue Model: $10/mo per client subscription; bookkeeper gets a white-label version at $20/mo per firm
