Every receipt line item categorized
A single warehouse-club run can mix office supplies, groceries and household goods on one receipt. Itemizing separates those lines so business and personal lines are recorded separately.
- 42 categories per line. Receipt Rabbit reads every line and assigns a category from 42 categories in 11 groups, including Work & Office.
- Business or personal per line. You mark individual lines as business or personal on the same receipt, and business lines map to Schedule C.
- Totals that match the receipt. Coupons, discounts, taxes and fees follow the receipt's main category so your split lines add up to the total.

Questions people ask
What does "itemized" mean in a receipt app?
Itemized means the app reads and categorizes every line item. Instead of putting an entire store trip under one category, you can mark individual lines as business or personal on the same receipt.
Which receipt apps categorize each line separately?
Receipt Rabbit, TaxLens and Receipt AI state a category per line item. Itemize AI assigns categories and item tags (business or personal not mentioned), Dext suggests categories, SparkReceipt sorts into tax categories, and Expensify splits by hand.
Which apps can send split expenses to QuickBooks Online?
Receipt Rabbit posts one Expense per receipt to QuickBooks Online with separate category lines. Receipt AI says it syncs line items to QuickBooks Online on its Business plans. SparkReceipt, Dext and Expensify (Collect) sync to QuickBooks Online, but their pages do not state a line-level split.
Is there a free receipt app that itemizes and splits receipts by category?
Receipt Rabbit's Free plan itemizes up to 30 receipts a month with CSV exports. TaxLens has a free plan (scan limit not stated, unlimited exports need Pro), and Receipt AI includes your first 10 receipts free.
Does Receipt Rabbit work on Android?
No, Receipt Rabbit is available only for iPhone running iOS 18 or later. Android users who need line-item extraction can look at SparkReceipt (Elite plan) or Dext (with the line-item add-on).
