Track every expense
wherever you already are.
Snap a photo of any receipt and EL Expenses reads it, logs it, and splits it — automatically. Capture it in Telegram, dig into it on the web dashboard, and install it on your phone like a normal app — same account, same data, all three. Already tracking somewhere else? Import a CSV and bring your whole history across.
📘 New guide: The best way to track shared expenses →
Three ways to use it.
One account, one set of data — reach it however suits the moment.
Capture
The Telegram bot
Send a receipt photo to the bot and it is read, categorised and split — without opening anything new. Works in a group chat, so the whole household files to the same place.
Review
The web dashboard
The full picture in a browser — budgets, reports, receipt images, multi-currency totals and CSV import/export. This is also where you sign up and manage your plan.
Carry
Installed on your phone
Add the dashboard to your home screen and it opens like any other app — full screen, its own icon, no app store, and the pages you have already opened still work when you lose signal.
How it works
Four steps — and the app does most of them for you.
Snap the receipt
Send a photo of any receipt to the bot in Telegram.
AI extracts it
Merchant, amount, and items are read automatically — you just confirm.
Tracked & split
Logged instantly, split shared vs personal, optionally synced to your Google Sheet.
See who owes whom
A live balance shows exactly who owes whom. One-tap settle-up to clear debts — coming soon.
See it in action
From a photo in your group chat to a full set of money tools — here's everything you get.
Sample data shown. Your real numbers stay private — in your Telegram group and your own dashboard.
Everything on your dashboard
Premium turns your captures into real money tools — not just a list.
Bring your history with you
Switching from a spreadsheet or another app? Import a CSV and your whole back-history loads in minutes — start with every past expense already in place.
Budgets vs actual
Set a monthly cap per category and track spend against it — over-budget is flagged, never just coloured.
Spending calendar
A month-at-a-glance heatmap — darker days cost more, so a weekend blowout jumps right out.
Multi-currency
Log spend in any currency; it converts to your household base so every total lines up.
Spending trends
Month-by-month spend with a “typical month” line, so a spike or a quiet stretch stands out at a glance.
Receipt images
Every scan is kept with its expense — open any row to see the original photo or PDF it came from.
Ask about your spending
Ask a plain-English question and get an answer grounded in your own numbers — no spreadsheet needed.
Recurring & subscriptions
The app spots the payments that repeat each month, so nothing quietly renews behind your back.
Reports & export
Print a clean monthly report, or export every transaction to CSV — your data, whenever you want it.
