The receipt read for you
You photograph the receipt or upload the file. Spendesk reads the merchant, the date, the amount, the currency, and the VAT from it, and fills in the expense report. All that’s left is to describe the expense.

Spendesk pricing, use cases, and first steps
Spendesk is business software: it manages a company’s spending (payment cards, expense reports, supplier invoices, budgets). AI does three things in it. It reads your receipts and invoices to fill in the fields for you. It suggests the account coding and flags duplicates. And it lets the finance team query spending from an assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT.
Spendesk has no free plan. Prices checked on October 3, 2026 on the vendor’s official page.

What Spendesk does
Who it’s for: employees who pay expenses out of pocket or with a company card, and the finance teams that check and book those expenses.
The receipt for a card payment
After a payment with a Spendesk card, you add the receipt to the transaction from your phone. Finance no longer has to chase you for it at the end of the month.
Mileage calculated for you
You enter your trip and your vehicle. Spendesk applies the French mileage rate scale and calculates the amount to reimburse. It also handles per diem allowances for some countries.
Also
- Supplier invoices, prefilled
- Suggested account coding
- Duplicates and anomalies flagged
- Query spending from your assistant
- Approve and send reminders in Slack

Nova’s advice
As an employee, you have nothing to pay: your company subscribes. If you are in finance and comparing tools, ask for a quote priced on your real transaction volume, because the price depends on it.

What it does less well
- Receipt reading sometimes gets it wrong, especially on a crumpled, faded, or handwritten receipt. Always check the amount and the date before you send.
- The expense description, the team, and the analytical codes still have to be filled in by hand.
File an expense report with a photoSpendesk- Keep a recent receipt at hand: a lunch, a taxi, a train ticket.
- Open the Spendesk app on your phone and tap the new request button, at the bottom right.
- Choose the option to submit a reimbursement, then take a photo of the receipt, flat and well lit.
- Watch the fields fill in: the date, the amount, and the supplier are read from the photo. Correct them if they are wrong.
- Add what the machine can’t guess: the description of the expense and your team.
- Tap the button to submit the expense report. It goes to the person who approves, and you track its status in the requests tab.
