Snap
Tap the camera, photograph the till slip. Or upload one you've already taken. Works with photos in any language.
Confirm
AI fills in the vendor, amount, date, category — and flags whether it's tax-deductible if you've set up a business Space. Tweak in two taps if anything's off.
See it land
The expense rolls into your budget. The category bar fills up. Anyone sharing the Space sees it on their phone, instantly.
Built for households
Two phones, one budget.
spache works because both of you use it. Each person has their own login. You see the same budget. Whoever swiped the card gets the credit. No spreadsheet hand-off. No monthly reconciliation argument.

Who paid what, automatically
Every expense is tagged Mine, Yours, or Joint. Groceries don't get tangled up with personal spending. The split takes care of itself.
Live sync
Your partner snaps a receipt at the till. You see it before they leave the parking lot.
Private until shared
Personal lines stay personal. Only the joint ones roll up to both dashboards. No surprises, no over-sharing.
Or your business
The same scanner. A separate Space.
Many users budget their household and run something on the side — a freelance practice, a small business, a side hustle. spache lets you keep them in separate Spaces with one login, so the receipts never get mixed up.

Multiple Spaces, one login
Switch between your household and your business in two taps. Each Space has its own categories, members, and budget.
Tax-deductible flag
Tag any expense as deductible. We total it on your dashboard so you're tax-ready by year end, not panicked.
Roles for your team
Add a co-founder, a contractor, or your bookkeeper. Choose what they can see, edit, or only view.
The budget
A budget that knows when payday is.
Most apps assume the 1st of the month. spache asks you. Pick the 25th. Pick the 27th. Pick whatever your payday cycle actually is — the math just works.
Payday cycles
1st to 31st? 25th to 24th? Mid-month? Pick whatever your payday actually is. The budget runs on your schedule, not the calendar's.
Recurring template
Set rent, groceries, fuel, DStv, school fees once. Each new month auto-generates with the same lines, ready for receipts.
Actuals as you go
Receipts roll in. Bars fill up. You always know what's left — no spreadsheet update, no end-of-month panic.

FAQ
The honest questions.
If yours isn't here, WhatsApp us — we usually answer within a day.
Take a photo of the till slip. We send it once to a vision AI model, which extracts vendor, amount, date, and category in seconds. You confirm in two taps. Receipts live in your private storage — the AI sees the image once and never trains on it.
Yes — no card, no trial timer, no nag screens. The 10-scans-a-month limit is the only nudge. Upgrade only when you actually need more.
Family is for one household — one Space, up to six members, all the AI and budgeting features. Business gives you up to five separate Spaces (so your household and your side hustle don't share a budget), plus member roles, tax-deductible flagging, and priority support.
Yes — that's the whole point. Add your partner with an invite code over WhatsApp or SMS. You both see the same budget on your own phones. Each adds their own receipts. Joint lines roll up to both dashboards.
No, by design. Most banks in Botswana and South Africa don't offer Open Banking yet, and we wouldn't want your bank login anyway. The receipt scanner works at any till, in any country.
BWP by default. Switch the Space to ZAR, USD, EUR, or GBP at setup or any time after.
No. spache was built in Gaborone for couples and families here, but the receipt scanner reads till slips from any country, and the budget logic is universal. Plenty of users are in South Africa.
Browsing and viewing, yes — it's a PWA, so it caches your data on your phone. Receipt scanning needs internet for the AI step. Offline scan-queueing is on the roadmap.
In your private storage on Google Cloud (eur3 region, Europe). We don't sell it, share it, or train AI models on it.
Yes. The CSV import wizard handles Notion tables out of the box and lets you map columns from any other source. It auto-detects recurring lines so you don't start from zero.
Yes — that's exactly what the Business plan is for. Up to five Spaces under one login, switch between them in two taps. Receipts, budgets, and members stay separate.
A small team at Noetic Labs in Gaborone — built by people who actually share a household budget and got tired of every other app assuming the 1st of the month and US dollars.
WhatsApp link in the app or in the footer. Or email support@spache.app — we usually reply within a working day.
