Receipt Scanner

Scan Receipts by Photo. No App to Install.

Send a receipt photo to @vustReceiptBot and get merchant, date, total with currency, category and items count. Your first 10 successful scans each UTC month are free; later accepted photos debit Balance when sent, without a separate confirmation step. /month keeps a running total.

Honest scope

A scan to verify, not a filed accounting record

Every scan carries the same line: this is an AI extraction, verify important amounts, not accounting or tax advice. It's built for turning a photo into structured fields fast — merchant, total, category — not for producing a document that needs to be exact for a tax authority.

Photo bytes and itemized line lists are never stored — only the compact summary, so /month can keep a running total.
Specimens

See the difference

One photo, structured fields back — free 10 scans a month.

The scan itself

What you send

One photo of a receipt — printed or thermal, doesn't matter — taken straight from your phone's camera, no cropping or flattening step required first.

What scans back

Merchant, date, total with currency, a spending category, items count and a confidence line — returned as a chat message. No account screen appears between the photo and the result.

A week of scans, worked through

Monday to Friday

A coffee receipt Monday, a hardware-store run Wednesday, two grocery trips over the week — four separate photos sent to the same chat as they happened, no batching required.

What /month shows Friday

A per-currency total plus your top-3 categories by spend for the month so far — built from the four scans automatically, without opening a spreadsheet or re-entering anything.

Free tier vs after it

First 10 scans this calendar month

Free, reset on the 1st (UTC) — not a rolling 30-day window, so a burst of receipts early in the month doesn't cost anything until the 11th scan.

Scan 11 onward

After the free cap, an accepted receipt photo debits Balance when you send it — there is no separate confirmation step. A rejected non-receipt or failed extraction is refunded if a paid debit was made.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I scan a receipt with this?

Open @vustReceiptBot in Telegram and send a photo of the receipt — that's the whole flow. No form to fill in first, no receipt-type selector. The scan returns merchant, date, total + currency, category and items count directly in the chat.

Is the receipt scanner free?

Your first 10 successful scans each UTC calendar month are free. After that, an accepted receipt photo debits Balance when sent; there is no separate confirmation step. Rejected non-receipts and failed extractions do not keep a paid debit.

What does a single scan actually return?

Merchant name, date, total with its currency, a spending category, how many items were on the receipt, and a confidence line — plus a standing disclaimer that this is an AI extraction to verify, not accounting or tax advice.

Can I scan receipts in bad lighting or at an angle?

The scanner accepts real-world photos rather than requiring a document scan. A slight angle or faded thermal print may reduce confidence, while a blurry or unreadable photo can fail extraction; a failed paid extraction is refunded.

Does scanning build up a spending total over time?

Yes — /month sums the current calendar month's scans into per-currency totals plus your top-3 spending categories, so repeat scanning compounds into a running picture rather than staying a one-off lookup.

Do I need to install anything to scan receipts?

No — it runs entirely inside Telegram, an app you likely already have. There's no separate receipt-scanning app to download, no account to create beyond starting the chat.
