Starlog

Starlog is a receipt scanner and expense tracker for small businesses, available on Android and iOS. It reads receipt details on the phone and uses OCR to fill in the store, amount, and date. Receipts can be grouped into reports with category breakdowns, then exported in a ZIP containing XLSX data and receipt images. The app also describes structured voucher exports for direct import into Tally. Teammates can submit receipts for an owner to review and approve, without per-seat fees. Receipt images are saved in year-and-month folders in the user's Google Drive account. Starlog says it accesses only the folder it creates for receipts, and users can disconnect Drive in settings. The company says OCR happens on the phone, so images are not uploaded to a server for reading. The free plan covers one company, with unlimited receipts for six months from the first receipt, then 30 approved receipts per month. Unlimited Receipts costs $1.99/mo for one company; multi-company plans and one-time receipt packs are also listed.

Starlog combines receipt capture, reporting, exports, and a team review workflow. The free plan's receipt limit changes after six months, while unlimited receipts for one company cost $1.99/mo.

Starlog suits small-business owners who want receipts organized for tax time and ready to share with an accountant. It also supports receipt submissions for owner review and approval.

Starlog is a mobile receipt and expense tracker for small businesses, best suited to owners managing expenses with a small team. Its clearest advantage is a receipt-to-approval workflow that keeps images in the owner’s Google Drive without charging by seat.

Overview

Starlog brings receipt capture, review, reporting, and export together on Android and iOS. Teammates can submit receipts for an owner to approve, which gives a business a shared process without a per-submitter fee. The trade-off is a mobile-only platform: businesses that need desktop access should look elsewhere.

Receipt images are filed into year-and-month folders in the user’s Google Drive. Starlog says it accesses only the folder it creates, and users can disconnect Drive in settings. Receipt OCR runs on the phone rather than sending images to a server for reading. Account deletion can be requested in the app or by email, and requests are handled within 30 days.

Key features

Capture, approvals, and reports

Mobile capture, OCR auto-fill for the store, amount, and date, and line-item extraction reduce the work of turning receipts into usable records. Owners can group receipts into reports with category breakdowns and review or approve teammate submissions. That combination is useful for routine small-business expense oversight, but it is not a substitute for a desktop workflow.

Drive filing and exports

Google Drive sync keeps receipt images in the owner’s account, while ZIP exports package XLSX data with receipt images for sharing or keeping a separate copy. Starlog also describes structured voucher exports for direct import into Tally, a practical option for businesses using that accounting software. Its Drive folder controls and on-device OCR offer a clear privacy posture, though users still need to be comfortable connecting a Google account.

Pricing

The free plan costs nothing and includes one company, unlimited submitter seats, OCR, reports, ZIP/XLSX export, and Google Drive sync. It allows unlimited receipts for six months from the first receipt, then 30 per month; only approved receipts count. That is a useful way to start, but the later cap may constrain businesses with steady receipt volume.

Unlimited Receipts costs $1.99 a month and provides one company with unlimited receipts, along with everything in Free. It suits a single-company owner who has outgrown the monthly cap. Multi-Company costs $4.99 a month for up to three companies, unlimited receipts per company, per-company Drive folders and categories, a company switcher, and everything in Free. It is the better fit for owners keeping separate business records.

MC Unlimited costs $9.99 a month and adds unlimited companies, unlimited receipts, per-company Drive folders and categories, and a company switcher to everything in Free. Receipt Pack — 100 receipts costs $4.99, paid once and never expires; Receipt Pack — 500 receipts costs $14.99, paid once and never expires. The packs suit occasional overflow better than a recurring subscription, but they do not add multiple-company tools. Starlog has no free trial.

Platforms

Starlog supports Android and iOS, with mobile capture and mobile platform support. There is no desktop platform in its supported-platform lineup, which rules it out for teams that expect to process receipts from a browser or computer.

Who it's for

Starlog is a strong match for small-business owners who want receipts organized for tax time and ready to share with an accountant, especially when teammates need to submit expenses for owner approval. Its free plan can serve a low-volume operation, while the paid tiers address higher receipt volume or multiple companies. Businesses needing desktop access or a different receipt allowance structure should compare alternatives.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Unlimited submitter seats avoid per-seat charges as a small team contributes receipts.
• Pro: On-device OCR and Google Drive filing keep the receipt-reading process on the phone and images in the user’s own Drive folder.
• Pro: ZIP/XLSX exports and Tally voucher exports give owners ways to share or move receipt records.
• Con: The free plan falls to 30 approved receipts per month after its first six months, which may not fit a growing business.
• Con: Android and iOS support only leaves out computer-based workflows.

Verdict

Choose Starlog if you run a small business on Android or iOS and want teammates to submit receipts, an owner to approve them, and records filed in Google Drive without seat fees. Its low-cost unlimited-receipt option is a straightforward upgrade for a single company, but the mobile-only workflow and the free plan’s post-six-month cap are good reasons to look elsewhere.
