Billig vs Genius Scan
Billig vs Genius Scan
Genius Scan is an excellent document scanner, sharp PDFs, good edge detection, fast. But scanning a receipt to a PDF and understanding what you spent are two different jobs. Genius Scan does the first; it does not do the second.
What Genius Scan is good at
Best-in-class scanning quality for documents and receipts, with clean PDF output and export. If you need a crisp digital copy of a piece of paper, it is great.
Where it leaves a gap
A PDF of a receipt is still just an image. There is no extraction of items, totals, or categories, and nothing that lets you ask questions about your spending.
Where Billig fits
Billig reads the receipt rather than just photographing it, turning visible items, prices, the date, total, and category into data you can question. Ask Bon "what did I buy at the petrol station?" and get an answer, not a PDF to squint at.
