Comparison

SparkReceipt scans receipts. Hustlay tells you if your hustle is profitable.

SparkReceipt is a tidy OCR app. Hustlay is a full financial dashboard: per-project P&L, split shared costs, time tracking, invoicing, customer CRM. Same price range, very different scope.

The short version

SparkReceipt is a receipt scanner — that's its whole job, and it does it well. Hustlay scans receipts too, but that's one feature of a full financial dashboard. If you run multiple income streams and want to know which makes money, SparkReceipt can't answer that. We can.

TL;DR

Our honest take

If all you need is receipt scanning, SparkReceipt is fine and cheap. If you want to know which of your hustles actually pays the rent and which client is costing you time vs money — you need a dashboard, not a scanner. That's what we built.
