Is there a free plan?
Yes — a real plan, not a trial. The Free plan includes 15 AI receipt scans and 8 voice entries every month, plus a one-time welcome bonus of 30 extra receipt scans and 5 extra voice entries for the first 30 days, 3 accounts, 3 statement imports a month, and every feature except MCP access. The Free plan itself does not expire, and no card is required to start. Unused welcome-bonus entries do not roll over. Family Standard and Family Pro raise the same limits — more members, more scans, more voice entries, more accounts — for a household that wants more than the free numbers allow; the product itself doesn't change between plans.
How does the Free plan's welcome bonus work?
The Free plan includes 15 AI receipt scans and 8 voice entries every month. A new family also receives a one-time welcome bonus: 30 extra receipt scans and 5 extra voice entries, valid for the first 30 days after the workspace is created. The bonus is used first. Unused bonus entries do not roll over; they expire after 30 days. After that, Free continues with 15 scans and 8 voice entries per month. When you reach the limit, you can enter expenses manually, wait for the monthly renewal, or upgrade.
What if there is no receipt?
Dictate the product and the price out loud — "coffee, two fifty" — or type a manual line by hand. Either way the entry is recognised in seconds and filed under the same categories a scanned receipt would get, so it sits on exactly the same shelves in Lens, Trends and Records as anything photographed. This covers cash purchases, tips, a market stall with no printer, or a slip that faded before you got home. Voice capture and manual entry both count toward the same monthly quota as a photo scan.
What happens to receipt photos?
The photo reaches our server only long enough for the AI to recognise its line items — typically a few seconds — then it is permanently deleted once you confirm the result. Nothing is kept for later review, retraining or resale; only the structured data survives — the store, the date, and each line item with its price and category. If you abandon a scan before confirming it, the photo is removed as well, not left to accumulate.
Does it track income?
No — Precise Spend is a spending tracker, not a full accounting ledger. When you import a bank statement, any row that looks like income (a salary deposit, a refund, a transfer in) is detected, skipped, and reported separately rather than folded into your totals. Every view — Lens, Trends, Excess, Records — reads purely as "where the money went," which is the point of itemising a receipt in the first place.
Can I change the built-in category tree?
Yes. Open the category picker and tap the pencil, or open categories in Family settings. You can rename built-in categories, add subcategories, move branches and change their order. Everyone in the family uses the same tree.
Will deleting a category delete my receipts?
No. The confirmation shows the affected purchases and asks for a replacement category. The parent is selected by default when available; you can choose another. You can delete just the category and keep its children, or delete its branch. Receipts and their amounts are preserved.
What happens to past statistics when I move a category?
Reports follow the current tree, including past purchases. Moving a branch changes which parent totals include it; it does not change receipt amounts. Reports refresh after the edit.
Will AI fill my tree with duplicate categories?
New categories need your confirmation. Search first or ask AI for a suggestion: it prefers a suitable existing category. If a new one is needed, review the suggested parent and change it if you want. You can always create it manually.
Is Precise Spend available on Android and iPhone?
Yes — native apps on the App Store for iPhone and Google Play for Android. You can also use the browser on a computer with the same account.
