Snap a receipt. See every dollar.

SimpleLoonie is an AI receipt-scanning and expense-tracking app for Canadian small businesses. You upload receipts or invoices as photos or PDFs; it extracts the vendor, date, total and tax, separates GST, HST, PST and QST, converts foreign currency to CAD at the transaction-date rate, and exports to Excel or CSV. Plans are CA$0, CA$15 and CA$39 per month, and organisations that need their own database and keys can have a private instance deployed for them.

The Free plan is CA$0 and covers 15 receipt scans a month with 30 days of history. Growth is CA$15 a month (CA$180 billed annually) for 200 scans a month with unlimited history. Business is CA$39 a month (CA$468 billed annually) for 500 scans a month with custom AI prompts. All prices are in CAD, and no credit card is needed to start.

It does leave Canada, and we would rather say so plainly than have you find out later. SimpleLoonie is operated from Ontario under PIPEDA, but the cloud service runs on Google Cloud in the United States, uploaded files sit in Cloudflare R2, and receipts are read by AI providers in the United States and the European Union. Every one of those providers is named in our privacy policy, along with what it receives. If your records cannot live there, we can set up a private instance: a dedicated deployment in the region you specify, against a database and object storage you own and your own AI provider key.

Yes, as a private instance. SimpleLoonie sets up and operates a dedicated deployment for one organisation, running against a PostgreSQL database and object storage you own, using your own AI provider key, in the region you specify. Sign-in is restricted to your organisation and there are no monthly scan limits. It is quoted per engagement — tell us what you need.

Yes. Sole proprietors, freelancers and contractors are who it is built for. SimpleLoonie reads each receipt, sorts it into your expense categories — which you can rename to match the T2125 lines your accountant uses — records the GST/HST you may be able to claim back, converts USD receipts to CAD at the transaction-date rate, and exports the year to Excel or CSV on paid plans. It does not file your return or decide what is deductible. How it works for the self-employed.

Yes. SimpleLoonie benchmarks at 99.2% field-level accuracy on its Canadian receipt test set, including faded thermal paper, handwritten totals, and mixed English and French receipts. When confidence drops, the row is flagged for a quick human review instead of being filed silently.

Yes, by CSV. Export your historical expenses from whatever you use today and import the file — you map the columns to SimpleLoonie's fields once, review the result, and approve. Direct one-click connectors to accounting platforms are on the roadmap, not shipped today.

Yes. SimpleLoonie reads the tax lines printed on the receipt and records them as separate GST, HST, PST or QST amounts against the transaction, so your input tax credit totals come out of an export rather than a spreadsheet formula. It records what the receipt says; it does not file returns for you.

Nothing scary. You stay on the Free plan with 15 scans a month — forever. Upgrade when you need more, downgrade anytime. No credit card required to start.

Not yet. SimpleLoonie runs in the browser and the interface is built to work on a phone, so you can photograph a receipt and upload it from your mobile browser, or add the site to your home screen. Native iOS and Android apps are on the roadmap.

Yes, and it is free on every plan. The invoice generator creates invoices in any language, lets you edit every field including the labels, saves reusable templates, and exports to PDF or into your transaction list. It supports both tax-included and tax-excluded line items for GST, HST, QST and VAT.

Yes. The invoice generator is included on every SimpleLoonie plan, including the CA$0 Free plan. There is no cap on how many invoices you create, nothing is watermarked, and making an invoice does not use your monthly receipt scans. You need a free account, and never a credit card. See the free invoice generator.

Yes. SimpleLoonie detects the currency on the receipt and converts it to CAD using the exchange rate for the transaction date rather than today's rate, which is what the CRA expects for expense records. It supports 170+ currencies plus BTC, ETH and LTC.

For CA$4.99 a month on Growth and Business plans, SimpleLoonie connects to a dedicated "SimpleLoonie Receipts" folder in your Google Drive. Any receipt or invoice you save into that folder — PDF, JPG, PNG, whatever format your phone, scanner or email gives you — is automatically imported in the background, extracted, and moved into a "Processed" folder. Read our Google Drive receipt guide.

SimpleLoonie is a small, indie project built in Ontario, Canada, by people who wanted bookkeeping software that understands Canadian tax rules and prices in Canadian dollars.
