Email Receipt Import for Freelancers

Forward the receipt. Forget the receipt.

Hustlay's email receipt import turns forwarded receipts into transactions on the right project. The reason expense tracking fails is friction. Hustlay gives you a private @in.hustlay.com address: forward any vendor email and it becomes a transaction on the right project with the receipt attached. Paper receipts: photograph them.

Why this is hard today
01Receipts live in your email, your camera roll and a shoebox. None of them are in your books.
02Categorising the same vendor for the 30th time is why people quit tracking in March.
03At tax time, 'I think it was about $60' is not documentation.
How you do it in Hustlay
01

Forward or scan

Every account gets a private inbox address. Forward the email — or scan a paper receipt with your phone. Vendor, amount, date and category are extracted.

02

Confirm in one tap

Low-confidence items wait in the Inbox for a quick check. Hustlay learns vendor → category from your corrections.

The PDF stays attached

Every transaction keeps its receipt. Export for your accountant with the documents in one go.

Worked example

A month of expenses, zero typing

Adobe, Figma, Hetzner, Resend and a Deutsche Bahn ticket — four forwarded emails and one photographed receipt.

That's the whole month. The same five entries in a spreadsheet, with the PDFs filed somewhere findable, would take longer than the setup of Hustlay.

Features this uses
  • Private inbox address (Max)
  • AI receipt scanning (Pro)
  • Vendor → category learning
  • Photo → PDF storage
Questions
Which email providers work?

Any — you forward, so the sender doesn't matter. Gmail and Outlook can also be connected directly on Max.

Is it accurate?

Vendor and amount are reliable on standard invoices. Anything uncertain waits in the Inbox with a confidence score instead of being guessed into your books.
