Can I run separate budgets for business and personal?

Yes — budgets live per workspace. Your business workspace carries its budgets, your personal one carries its own, and neither muddies the other.

Does Receni pull transactions from my bank to track the budget?

No — Receni is receipt-first. You scan or enter purchases, which keeps the budget grounded in itemized reality (and your bank credentials out of another app).

What happens when I go over a category?

The dashboard makes it plainly visible — spending against the limit, all month long. Receni informs; the course correction stays yours.

Can I use it just for budgeting, without the business features?

Absolutely — one personal workspace, a few category budgets, and the scan habit. The business features are there if your life grows into them.

Budget tracking

A budget that knowswhat you actually spent

Budgets fail when the numbers behind them are guesses. Receni builds yours on scanned receipts — every purchase counted the moment it happens, progress visible all month.

Why budgets break

Budgets built on guesses

Most budgets start from what you think you spend. If the baseline is fiction, the plan fails on contact with the first real week — and gets abandoned by the second.

The month reports in too late

Checking the damage at month-end is bookkeeping, not budgeting. By the time the total appears, every decision that produced it is already made.

Tracking that feels like homework

Spreadsheet budgets die of maintenance. If logging a purchase takes more than a few seconds, it stops happening — and the budget quietly stops being true.

How Receni helps

Built-in answers for budget tracker

Monthly limits per category

Set a number for groceries, supplies, fuel — whatever matters. Each workspace carries its own budgets, so business and household discipline don't mix.

Spending counted in seconds

Scan the receipt at the register and the purchase lands against the right category immediately. The budget stays true because updating it is effortless.

Progress you can glance at

Dashboards show each category's month so far — what's spent, what's left, and which line is trending hot before it's a problem.

Budgets per part of your life

A budget for the business, another for home, one per client or project — workspaces keep every plan and its spending separate.

Cash counts against the plan

Cash purchases get added manually in seconds, so the budget reflects everything — not just what left a card trail.

Review the plan with real data

Export a month's categorized spending as CSV and set next month's numbers from evidence, not optimism.

How it works

From pocketful of paper to organized records

Snap the receipt

Point your camera at any receipt — paper, email screenshot, or invoice. Receni's AI reads the merchant, date, total, and category in seconds.

Review and save

Check what the AI extracted before anything is stored. Adjust the category or amounts, pick the right workspace, and save with one tap.

Export when it matters

At tax time or month end, export clean CSV files your accountant can open directly — no shoebox, no retyping.

Example scenario

Every January I made a beautiful budget and every February I lost track of it. The difference now is the two-second scan — the budget updates itself as I shop, so mid-month me can still change course.

FAQ

Budget tracker questions, answered

Set a monthly limit per category inside a workspace. As you scan or enter receipts, spending counts against the right category and the dashboard shows progress — spent, remaining, and trend.
