Email-forwarding receipt intake beats Dext's per-document credit model for small firms.

Strengths
  • •No-account client links remove friction for non-technical users uploading receipts.
  • •Email forwarding to the same link creates a seamless capture workflow for clients.
  • •FastAPI on a single small VPS keeps overhead low for a solo founder operation.
Weaknesses
  • •No direct Xero or QuickBooks posting limits utility to manual CSV imports only.
  • •LLM classification struggles with handwritten receipts, requiring manual review.

Post Description

Solo founder. Xero retired Hubdoc in May; the displaced users are mostly solo bookkeepers with 15-30 clients whose replacement options are an enterprise suite (Dext) or per-document credits (AutoEntry).

Sorted Receipts is the boring version of what they keep asking for: each client gets one upload link. No account, no app, and forwarding an email to the link works too. Files get classified by month/vendor/type (LLM via OpenRouter), land in one review queue you check off, whatever's missing gets chased on your cutoff date under the bookkeeper's own name, and month-end is a CSV export plus consistently renamed files.

The demo is the real app with seeded data, no signup. Stack: FastAPI + SQLite on one small VPS.

Known rough edges: no direct QBO/Xero posting (export only), classification occasionally mangles handwritten receipts, and the review UI is desktop-first. I'd genuinely value critique of the review-queue UX and whether the sort would survive your messiest shoebox of receipts.
