“belege.ai does exactly what it is supposed to do and saves us a lot of tedious work every month. Super easy to use and absolutely reliable so far. And if something does come up, or you have an idea for an improvement, you send a short message and sometimes it is implemented 15 minutes later. I'm really very happy with it :)”

Wherever the receipt is.
belege.ai collects invoices from your inbox, from supplier portals and from your chat – and matches each one to the right transaction.
From supplier portals
If the invoice sits behind a login, the browser agent signs in and downloads it. You confirm the second factor with one tap.
By photo in the chat
Photograph a paper receipt and send it via Telegram. A restaurant bill becomes a finished meal receipt right away.
Forward or upload
Forward invoices to your own belege.ai address or upload PDFs – even whole folders at once.
Works with what you already use.
Your inbox, your tools – and any portal with a login.

… and many more: Lufthansa, Sixt, Hetzner, IONOS, Vodafone, Qonto, Lovable, sevDesk, OBI, REWE. No portal too obscure – whatever has no API, the browser agent fetches via login.
You collect the miles. The agent collects the receipts.
Your business account only shows the monthly card payment. belege.ai imports individual card charges and finds the matching receipts, so nothing disappears inside the total.
American Express
Import card transactions automatically and approve the login in your Amex app. Availability depends on your card account and country.

The business account shows only the combined card payments. The individual charges retain their own receipt status.
Missing a hotel invoice? The agent asks for it.
A Booking.com confirmation is not the hotel's invoice. The agent prepares the request; you approve it with one tap.
Notices when the invoice is missing
If the agent finds only a booking confirmation for a hotel payment, it prepares an invoice request on its own.
The details are already filled in
Booking number and dates come from the confirmation, the amount from the payment. The agent looks up the hotel's email address.
You approve before it sends
The request goes out from your belege.ai address only after approval. When the hotel replies with the invoice, the agent matches it to the payment.
Business meal receipts by chat.
Photograph the restaurant receipt, send it via Telegram and add guests and occasion in one sentence or a voice message – the agent builds the PDF and one tap approves it electronically.
Guests and occasion filled in
One sentence or a voice message is enough – the agent records attendees, occasion and amount.
One tap approves electronically
The approval is timestamped in the PDF. German customers get the BMF-compliant format.
The agent follows up automatically
When a restaurant payment appears in your account, the agent asks for the guests and business purpose via Telegram.
Thanks! Who attended and what was the occasion?

Message
Travel expenses from a single message.
Tell the agent when, where and why you travelled. It calculates German per-diem allowances, deducts provided meals and attaches hotel invoices and tickets. You get a finished PDF expense report.
Allowances calculated for you
Arrival days, departure days, full days and the German Ministry of Finance's foreign-travel rates are handled under German tax rules.
Provided meals deducted
Hotel breakfast or a provided dinner reduces the allowance for the relevant day and traveller.
Multiple travellers, including past trips
Each person travelling on business gets a separate report, even for a trip from last quarter.
Your mileage log, by chat.
Send the odometer reading when you leave and when you arrive — a voice message works too. The agent records the journey, asks if a required detail is missing and sends your log as PDF or CSV.
Example journey
Leaving Düsseldorf for a workshop with Max Mustermann at Example GmbH in Cologne. Odometer: 42,180 km.
Journey created. Send the final odometer reading when you arrive.
I've arrived. 42,226 km.
Recorded: 46 km of business travel. The journey is complete.
Both odometer readings, one complete journey
Record the start, destination, business purpose and business contact at departure. Add the final reading on arrival.
Text or voice, without a separate app
Keep your journey records in the same Telegram chat as your receipts and expenses.
Ready to review and export
Download the log as PDF or CSV. The German Fahrtenbuch workflow is not a promise of compliance with other countries' mileage or tax rules.

Frequently asked questions
What does belege.ai cost?
Your first 10 receipts found by belege.ai are free, with no time limit or credit card required. Receipts already in Lexware or sevDesk do not count towards the free allowance. Afterwards, monthly plans for new subscriptions are EUR 19 (Essential, 40 receipts), EUR 39 (Plus, 60 receipts), EUR 59 (Growth, 100 receipts), EUR 99 (Professional, 200 receipts) or EUR 199 (Advanced, 500 receipts) per workspace, excluding VAT. Existing subscriptions retain their purchased receipt allowance. Every plan includes receipt collection, expenses and bookkeeping preparation. Add-ons are billed separately; American Express requires at least Professional.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.
Why Telegram?
Telegram gives the agent a reliable home for receipt photos, voice messages and quick questions, without another app to learn. Its bot and agent infrastructure supports the daily receipt workflow directly in your chat.
Do I have to switch my existing tool?
Keep your accounting software. belege.ai recovers missing invoices and prepares PDFs and transaction context for your bookkeeper, with a monthly ZIP or login-free link. QuickBooks and Xero handover is manual, not a live connection. Lexware, sevDesk and DATEV serve supported German workflows. belege.ai can replace invoice-fetching tools such as GetMyInvoices or invoicefetcher: the agent handles collection and only asks when it needs your help.
Is my bank or credit card supported?
US bank transactions are imported by CSV. American Express and PayPal connect directly and keep syncing; belege.ai never moves money. There is no live feed for other US banks. German open banking remains available for accounts in Germany.
What about Google Ads, Meta or AWS?
These invoices often sit in your advertising or cloud account behind a login. The browser agent uses the integrated browser in the native Mac app: sign in once and it retrieves invoices using that session. You confirm a second factor when the provider asks for one. No browser extension is required.
Do you scan my inbox?
Yes, once a day by default: AI reviews new emails with PDF attachments and imports invoices, receipts and credit notes; the first run reaches back to the start month you pick during setup. If a transaction still has no receipt, the agent also searches for it specifically. You can limit any mailbox to open transactions; it is then searched only when a payment is missing a receipt. With the Mac app it can also stay on your device: connect Gmail on the Mac, Apple Intelligence recognizes invoices locally (macOS 26), and only the invoices it finds are uploaded — your emails never leave the Mac. 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. Team members, roles and multiple companies are included from Professional; each company keeps its own receipts, bank accounts and exports.
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.
Which tax rules do the documents follow?
Meal receipts include electronic approval under the German BMF guidance of November 19, 2025, with a timestamp and audit trail. German workflows include GoBD archiving and DATEV export. Generated meal and travel documents follow German tax rules; choosing English does not change the tax jurisdiction. Your accountant can check the requirements that apply to your business.More on security.
