30 receipts with line items: about $37.71 a month on Dext, free on Receipt Rabbit
Receipt Rabbit reads every line on every receipt on all plans. Dext includes 5 line-item extractions a month on its $25.21 a month default annual plan, then charges $0.50 per document or $20.50 for 50.
- Free for 30 scans. Scan 30 receipts a month with full line-item extraction and email forwarding for free.
- Plus for 100 scans. Get 100 scans a month and Lunch Money sync for $4 a month or $30 a year.
- Pro for 300 scans. 300 scans a month with QuickBooks and Xero for $8 a month, or $60 a year (about $5.00 a month).
Our arithmetic from Dext's published prices: 30 receipts a month with line items adds $12.50 (25 extra at $0.50 each) to Dext's $25.21 base. Receipt Rabbit Free includes all 30.
Split business and personal lines on one receipt for Schedule C
Sort mixed receipts right on your iPhone. Every scan categorizes each item into 42 categories across 11 groups, including a Work & Office group.
- Business or personal per line. Mark individual lines as business expenses or leave them personal on the exact same receipt.
- Automatic Schedule C mapping. Your Tax Profile maps every business line straight to its matching Schedule C tax category.
- Line items match the total. Coupons, discounts, taxes, and fees follow the main category so line items add up to the total.
Send split receipts to QuickBooks Online, Xero, and Lunch Money
Map your categories to your QuickBooks Online chart of accounts once on Pro. Receipt Rabbit posts each receipt with its image attached and asks for the QuickBooks Accounting permission only, never Payments.
- Multi-account QuickBooks expenses. Each receipt posts as one Expense with a separate line per QuickBooks category on Pro.
- Clean bank-feed matching. Unmarked personal lines go to a non-business account you choose so the Expense matches the full card charge.
- Xero and Lunch Money. Sync with Xero on Pro, or split matching Lunch Money transactions by category on Plus and Pro.
- Email forwarding on all plans. Forward emailed receipts or drop in PDFs up to 10 pages on Free, Plus, and Pro.

Questions people ask
How does QuickBooks Online sync compare between Receipt Rabbit and Dext?
Receipt Rabbit Pro posts each receipt to QuickBooks Online as one Expense with a separate line per category and the image attached. Personal lines go to a non-business account you choose so the total matches your card charge. Dext's pages do not state per-line personal handling.
Does Receipt Rabbit include email forwarding on the free plan?
Yes, every Receipt Rabbit plan includes email forwarding and 30 free scans a month. Forwarded receipts count toward your monthly scans, and you can also import photos, files, or PDFs up to 10 pages. Dext gives each user and account its own Extract by Email address.
How do privacy and receipt storage compare to Dext?
Receipt Rabbit saves receipts on your iPhone and in your private iCloud. The app masks a compressed copy on the device, blacking out card numbers, member IDs, cardholder names, phone numbers, and email addresses it finds. Receipt images are not kept on our servers after categorization.
Can I use Receipt Rabbit without accounting software?
Yes, Receipt Rabbit works as a complete expense tracker on its own without connecting an external destination. You can tag receipts by client or tax year, search item names from iPhone Spotlight, and export a line-item spreadsheet and image zip any time for free.
How does Receipt Rabbit handle tax time and client reimbursements?
Every business line maps to a Schedule C category through your Tax Profile, and Pro builds client expense reports. At tax time, Pro's accountant export creates one zip per tax year containing every receipt image and a master spreadsheet with one row per line item.
