For developers

Receipt Extraction — structured JSON from receipts and invoices, AU GST-aware

For developers building bookkeeping, expense, or agentic-commerce tools. Stop hand-rolling vision-LLM prompts and ABN/GST validation logic. One API call turns a receipt or invoice image/PDF into clean, versioned JSON — vendor, line items, tax, totals — with Australian GST and ABN checksum validation built in from day one.

  "line_items": [{ "description": "Widget", "qty": 2, "unit_price": 12.50, "gst": 2.50 }],

01Why this exists

Generic OCR APIs (Mindee, Veryfi) get you raw fields. None of them know that an Australian ABN has an 11-digit modulus-89 checksum, or that GST apportionment rules differ for entertainment expenses. You'd build and maintain that yourself, on top of someone else's schema that can change under you. We maintain the schema, the accuracy SLA, and the AU-specific validation — so you don't have to re-derive it from the ATO's own documentation every time a client complains about a rejected ABN.

02Pricing

Free
$0
20 documents/month
No card. The trial that proves the AU-GST fields work before anyone pays.
Pay-as-you-go
$0.02/document
No minimum
Effective $0.02/doc
For spiky/low-volume callers — the "just let me try it on real traffic" tier.
Pro
$19/month
1,500 documents
Effective ~$0.0127/doc
Volume discount vs. pay-as-you-go; anchors against Lido's $29/mo-for-100 as "obviously more generous."
Mindee: free 250 pages/mo, then $0.01–0.10/page. We undercut on the free tier's usefulness (AU-aware from document 1) rather than out-cheapening their per-page rate — racing to the bottom on price alone isn't the moat.
Lido MCP Receipt OCR: 50 free pages, $29/mo for 100 documents (~$0.29/doc effective). Our Pro tier at ~$0.0127/doc is roughly 20x cheaper per document at comparable volume.
COGS headroom: sub-cent-to-low-cent COGS per document (GPT-4o-mini/Gemini Flash-Lite vision pricing). Even the $0.02 pay-as-you-go floor clears 70%+ margin.

03How it compares

Turn receipts and invoices into structured, validated JSON — vendor, line items, tax, totals, with AU GST/ABN awareness built in. Caller-supplied documents, provider-swap vision LLM under the hood.

Alternative Why you might still need Receipt Extraction
Mindee Generic global OCR — no AU GST/ABN field awareness or checksum validation.
Veryfi Generic global OCR SDK — same AU-tax-field gap as Mindee.
MCP Receipt OCR (Lido) 50 free pages then $29/mo for 100 — no AU-specific validation, steep per-page cost at volume.
MCP Invoice OCR Same generic-extraction shape as Lido's server — no locale-aware tax fields.
Raw GPT-vision prompting No schema versioning, no accuracy SLA, no maintained AU GST/ABN validation logic.
