“Scanned right there in the restaurant and sent straight to accounting. With belege.ai my meal and travel receipts no longer get lost in my handbag — and for trips the system automatically detects the period, place and purpose. Exactly what I needed.”

“In film production we buy an enormous amount on Amazon — over 250 receipts. Pulling those out was a real grind every month. belege.ai now fetches them fully automatically. That saves a lot of time.”

“Brutally good tool — I was a fan immediately. Travel expenses now run completely on the side: I just write ‘Mon–Wed Munich, paid for myself once, hosted dinner’ or send the flight and train booking with receipts — once a month the finished ZIP for my accountant arrives.”

How it works

From photo to
matched transaction

  1. 1

    Photograph / forward the receipt

    Photo of the parking ticket, hotel or restaurant receipt into the Telegram chat — or an invoice from your inbox. Normal uploads are stored; meals and travel produce ready-made PDFs.

  2. 2

    Automatic matching

    As soon as the bank transaction arrives, the receipt is matched to the exact payment — even with a delay. Collective charges are split correctly.

  3. 3

    Receipt progress & tax-ready

    See per month what's still open. No original to be found? An audit-proof self-receipt instantly. Everything export-ready for your accountant.

Accountant export

A monthly package
your firm understands

Monthly ZIP

A CSV of transactions plus all found PDFs in one package. Your accountant doesn't get your app — they get the documents they actually need.

Login-free link

You share a protected monthly link. The firm downloads the package without their own belege.ai account and without logging into your tools.

DATEV-ready

Structured file names, amounts, dates and counterparties are prepared for DATEV Unternehmen Online and classic firm workflows.

Missing-receipt lists

When the firm later sends a list, you work it against your data: find existing receipts, search for missing ones, create a self-receipt.

Meal receipt.
By chat. Done.

Photograph the restaurant receipt, guests and occasion in one sentence or a voice message — one tap approves it electronically, the tax-ready PDF comes straight back. Real customers do this several times a week. Travel expense reports and per-diem allowances work the same way.

  • One sentence is enough — guests and occasion captured automatically
  • One tap = electronic approval (BMF-compliant)
  • Travel expenses & per-diem allowances as PDF too

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does belege.ai cost?

Every account starts free — no credit card. After that €18/month (Pro) or €90/month (Max), billed by AI usage rather than per click. Cancel monthly. See all plans.

How much setup does it take?

Ready in about 2 minutes: connect Telegram, optionally an inbox or bank account — no bank switch, no software migration.

Do I have to switch my existing tool?

No. belege.ai complements Lexware Office, GetMyInvoices, sevDesk, DATEV & co. Found receipts aren't blindly double-pushed; you export DATEV-ready or via a login-free link to your accountant.

Is my bank supported?

Revolut, Deutsche Bank and N26 directly — any other bank via CSV import.

Do you scan Gmail continuously?

No. A connected Gmail inbox is not permanently scanned. The agent searches specifically for matching invoices when a receipt is missing for a concrete transaction. Alternatively, forward invoices to your belege.ai address.

What do you mean by bank data?

We mean transaction data: date, amount, counterparty, reference, CSV/API import. belege.ai needs no payment access and never triggers transfers.

What counts as one account?

Prices apply per belege.ai account or workspace, not per team member. Separate companies should use separate accounts, unless you deliberately want them in one consolidated set of books.

Are uploaded photos returned as PDF?

Normal photo and PDF uploads are stored, read, matched and included in the export. Ready-made generated PDFs exist for meal receipts, travel expenses and self-receipts.

What happens to my data?

Servers in Germany, encrypted credentials, no training on your data. Processing GDPR-compliant under Art. 6.

Are the receipts tax-office-compliant?

Yes. Meal receipts with electronic approval per the BMF letter of 19 Nov 2025, audit-proof per GoBD, DATEV export. More on security.
