About Foreceipt
Foreceipt is a receipt and expense tracking app from Foreceipt Inc. (App Store seller: Relayin Corporation; Play developer address Markham / Vaughan, Ontario). It is not a ledger and not a corporate card program. You photograph paper receipts, forward digital receipts to a personal Foreceipt email address, or upload images and PDFs in the web portal. OCR extracts fields such as date, merchant, and amount. You verify each item (entries land as Unverified until you confirm), assign categories, track taxes, and optionally log income. Free and paid plans keep receipt images in cloud storage so you can share Excel or PDF expense reports with an accountant or keep them for audit.
It does not replace QuickBooks Online. The only named accounting connector confirmed in this research is QuickBooks Online on Business. There is no public Xero, FreshBooks, or Sage connector. Expensify and Zoho Expense offer denser expense-suite sync. Dext and Shoeboxed are stronger when you need bookkeeper-grade capture or mail-in paper. MMC Receipt and ABUKAI are closer freemium/flat OCR peers.
People who stick with it are usually freelancers, contractors, and small business owners who want a cheap place to pile receipts before tax season. Defined category sets for U.S. IRS and Canadian CRA filing are a core pitch. Canadian users can enable separate GST / PST / QST / HST tracking. You still close the books in QuickBooks Online or whatever system receives your export.
