Invoice vs Receipt: Close-up of a thermal printer ejecting a receipt with printed details visible, including a timestamp, itemized charges, net and VAT amounts, and a total sum. The receipt is partially curled as it exits the machine, suggesting a recent transaction. The focus on the receipt and the printer emphasizes the completion of a sale, which is often confused with an invoice that instead requests payment. Receipt-AI works with both receipts and invoices to extract information, rename the files, and upload them to your accounting software, such as Xero or QuickBooks.

On the left side, large, bold white text reads "Manage Receipts with AI and SMS." Below this, in a handwritten-style white font, it says "Take a picture and Text," with an arrow pointing to an illustration of a receipt. The receipt illustration is simple, with a heading labeled "RECEIPT," and line items and prices listed below, such as "Pizza - $5.00," "Fettuccine alfredo - $20.00," and a total price at the bottom, all inside a green circular background. On the right side of the image, there is a smartphone displaying a text conversation. The screen shows a photo of a physical receipt from "Punky's" restaurant. The text conversation includes a message saying "Dinner with clients," followed by an automated response saying, "Thank you for the receipt." Overall, the image effectively communicates the concept of using Receipt-AI and SMS to simplify receipt management by capturing and processing receipts via text messages.
