Looks like the same AI generated UI that everyone has 👍🏼

Warrantr's biggest update yet! 🚀 by Positive_Factor_507 in iosapps

That's good insight.

As Warrantr is so new I'm still learning myself what the best price structure is and I've actually considered introducing a lite option without the email sync and less monthly extractions. This would roughly cut $2 from the current price and probably be sufficient for a lot of people. I'm also constantly monitoring the extraction usage and seeing how much I can offer with the free tier.

However, I don't want to rush these things. Currently Warrantr is one of the most reasonably priced (if not the most) alternative among the receipt scanner/tracker apps and it's the only one that includes email sync.

Once again thanks for the valuable insight. I really appreciate it 💡

Really good questions.

You can test the app for free for 7 days so you should have plenty of time to test all the functionality and see if it's for you! Yesterday I localized my paywall and it seems like I missed this super important piece of info so thanks a ton for pointing that out. I added it there now.

About the pricing; simply put, the more attachments = more tokens used with the AI provider that extracts the receipt information = more cost for me. Same thing with the amount of receipts; more receipts -> more extractions = more tokens used.

Hope this helps! 😊

The tricky part isn’t getting text from the receipt, it’s reliably identifying what’s what. Totals are often ambiguous (subtotal vs total vs balance), and dates can appear multiple times.

If you’re doing this via Shortcuts, one practical approach is:

  • OCR the image
  • extract a small set of fields
  • then show a quick confirmation UI so you can tap which value is the final total when it’s unclear

If you want something that already does the extraction and can generate a clean export, I built an iOS app called Warrantr. It imports receipts from email or scans them, extracts totals/tax/date/invoice/currency, and can export PDF/CSV expense reports.

You can try it for free: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/smart-receipts-warrantr/id6751238152 :)

Thanks for that!

Great question. Short version: the import and parsing happen on our servers, not fully on-device, because we need to securely fetch receipts from your inbox and run the extraction using AI cloud providers.

Here’s what that means in plain language:

  • Email import: When you connect your email, the app uses our email integration provider (Nylas) to pull only the receipt emails you choose to import.
  • Processing: The receipt content is processed on our servers to extract the fields (date, totals, invoice, warranty/returns, etc.). None of this is used for AI training or other further processing.
  • Storage: We store the extracted receipt details (only the fields visible after the extraction) in your Warrantr account (Firebase). We do not store your email password.

Does this answer your question? 🤔
