Feature
A free receipt scanner app that logs the expense for you
Most receipt scanner apps stop at storing a photo. Balance reads the total, merchant and date, suggests a category and saves it as an expense, so the receipt actually becomes tracking.
It works on paper bills and on UPI payment screenshots from GPay, PhonePe or Paytm, which is where most Indian spending now lives.
Free · No ads · Made in India · Android (iOS coming soon)
How the receipt scanner app works in Balance
- Tap scan and photograph a receipt, or pick a UPI screenshot from your gallery
- Balance extracts the amount, merchant and date
- Confirm or tweak the category, then save. That's the whole flow
- The expense instantly shows up in your analytics and budgets
Why Balance is a better receipt scanner app
- No separate scanning app plus spreadsheet: capture and tracking are one step
- Understands UPI screenshots, not just printed receipts
- Free, with no per-scan limits hidden behind a subscription
Part of a complete, free tracker
Every Balance feature works together: scanned receipts feed analytics, bills and subscriptions feed your monthly plan, and Roast Mode nudges you when you drift. No ads, no bank login, no SMS access, and CSV export whenever you want.
Frequently asked questions
Can it scan UPI payment screenshots?
Yes. Balance reads UPI screenshots from apps like GPay, PhonePe and Paytm as well as paper receipts.
Is the receipt scanner free?
Yes. Scanning is part of the free app, with no ads and no subscription required.
Does Balance connect to my bank?
No. Balance never asks for a bank login, net-banking credentials, or SMS access. You add transactions yourself — by scanning a receipt or UPI screenshot, or entering them manually — so nothing sensitive is exposed.
Which platforms is Balance available on?
Balance is available on Android today. An iOS version is coming soon. It's a mobile app rather than a web dashboard.
