Customer billing dates and mailbox reservation dates are separate. Checkout and plan-change confirmation show the exact charge and renewal date. Upgraded features and slots start after the invoice is settled; downgrades start at the end of the paid billing period. Disconnected mailbox slots stay reserved until the next calendar month starts at 00:00 UTC, subject to current plan capacity on reconnection. Refund requests go through support; cancellation remains self-service and unused-time upgrade credit remains automatic. The active purchase policy is available at https://www.expensent.com/api/stripe/billing-policy.
## What Expensent Is
Expensent is a **receipts forwarding automation** service for freelancers and small businesses. It:
- Connects to email inboxes through Nylas, using OAuth where providers support it and provider-specific credential handling for iCloud/IMAP flows
- Lets the same email address move to another supported provider without rebuilding its Expensent destination, rules, billing slot, or history
- Uses privacy-first AI to detect **receipts and invoices** (bills, credit notes, payment confirmations) across many vendor formats, not a fixed vendor list
- Finds current and historical receipt and invoice emails across connected inboxes
- Pro includes up to 20 named destinations, including the default, on all existing Pro versions. Choose one for each send or automatic rule; Solo and onboarding use one default address
- Forwards matched emails and attachments to your accountant's email or to accounting platforms (QuickBooks, Xero, Expensify, and others)
- Turns approved sender and subject patterns into recurring forwarding rules
- Provides an Action Center for documents that need a manual decision
- Searches up to 10 years of inbox history, month or quarter at a time, to recover past receipts and invoices
- Supports paper receipt capture via mobile scanner and file upload
Expensent handles both **receipts and invoices**. Marketing copy often emphasizes receipts because that is the core workflow; the product does not exclude either document type.
## What Expensent Is NOT
- **Not accounting software** — Expensent forwards documents to your books; it does not replace QuickBooks, Xero, or your accountant
- **Not a public classification API** — There is no developer API to classify arbitrary email for third-party apps
- **Not an email client** — Your mail stays in Gmail, Outlook, or your provider; Expensent reads only what is needed for receipt/invoice detection and forwarding
- **Not an ad or data-broker product** — User email data is not sold or used for advertising (see privacy policy)
- **Not AI model training on your content** — Email is processed ephemerally for classification; it is not used to train models
## Who It Is For
- Freelancers and independent contractors
- Small business owners and SMB finance teams
- Anyone who receives business receipts or invoices by email
- People who want to stop manually finding, downloading, and forwarding expense documents
## How It Works
1. **Connect your inbox** — Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo (OAuth), iCloud (app-specific password), or IMAP. Setup time depends on provider and account settings.
2. **Set your destination** — Your accountant's email, or a receipt address for QuickBooks, Xero, Expensify, SAP Concur, etc.
3. **Scan and detect** — Expensent scans inbox history and checks new mail. AI groups matches by next step: ready to forward, needs portal download, or needs review.
4. **Forward or automate** — One-click forward from the Action Center, or create a rule so recurring receipts forward themselves.
5. **Optional inbox tidy** — On Pro and Custom plans, mark forwarded emails read and label, archive, or move them (Pro plan feature: inbox organization).
## Privacy Approach (Summary)
Expensent uses a three-phase, progressive-narrowing approach (details: [/privacy](https://www.expensent.com/privacy)):
1. **Metadata-only fetch** — Sender, subject, date, attachment filenames for the date range you scan
2. **AI prefilter on metadata** — Basic email details are used to decide which messages need deeper AI analysis
3. **Classification for filtered messages only** — Body and attachments (PDF, JPG, PNG) are analyzed ephemerally only after a message passes the first check
**What we store for subscribers:** classification and forwarding metadata (sender, subject, date, attachment filenames, extracted amounts where applicable) for confirmed receipts/invoices — not email body text. Attachment contents used for analysis or forwarding are not retained on Expensent servers.
Do not claim "no email content stored" without this nuance — metadata for matched documents is stored for forwarding history and duplicate prevention.
## Signup Flow
1. Get Started opens public pricing. Choose Solo or Pro at the displayed localized monthly price, then create your account through WorkOS. Existing users sign in.
2. An unchanged selected offer continues directly to secure Stripe Checkout after authentication. If prices change, confirm the updated offer first. Custom plan: contact sales.
3. Connect one or more email accounts in Settings
4. Set a default destination. With Pro, save up to 19 additional addresses in Settings and select one for each send or automatic rule
5. Run a historical scan or wait for new mail; review items in the Action Center
