Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most common questions about Manus's AI expense tracker, from file types to scheduling.

Is Manus's AI expense tracker free to use?

Manus offers up to 300 free credits for new users to experience the AI expense tracker and see its capabilities firsthand. If you process hundreds of receipts and need more automation power, several subscription plans are available. For full details, see our pricing and credits page.

What types of files can I upload as expenses?

You can upload almost any standard financial document. Manus processes PDF invoices, image files of scanned receipts, exported CSV bank statements, and forwarded email receipts. The agent reads the text and extracts the data regardless of the original format, so you do not need to pre-sort anything.

How accurate is the AI receipt scanning?

Manus uses advanced vision and language models to extract vendors, dates, and amounts with high accuracy. It can read faded photos and parse complex bank-statement tables. If a receipt is illegible, Manus flags it for your review rather than guessing values that could throw off your books.

Can I set my own custom expense categories?

Yes. Tell Manus your preferred categories such as Travel, Software Subscriptions, or Office Supplies, and it will apply those rules to your documents. You can update the rules at any time inside your persistent project workspace and the next run will follow the new categories.

Does Manus connect directly to my bank account?

Manus does not currently connect to live bank feeds via Plaid. Instead, you upload exported statements or receipts and Manus processes them in a secure environment. This gives you full control over what financial data the agent sees, which is important for sensitive corporate accounts.

Can I automate my monthly expense reports?

Yes. Set a scheduled task and Manus will check a designated folder for new receipts at the end of every month. It processes any new files, generates a categorized report, and notifies you when the spreadsheet is ready. You can also trigger ad-hoc runs whenever needed.

What formats can I export expense reports in?

Manus typically delivers your categorized expense data as a clean CSV or Excel spreadsheet, which is the industry standard for financial reporting. You can import these files into QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks, or send them straight to your accountant for tax preparation without further reformatting.

Is my financial data secure with Manus?

Security is a top priority. Manus processes uploaded receipts and statements in a secure, isolated environment. Your financial documents are only used to generate the reports you request, and they are not shared with third parties or used to train foundational models without your explicit consent.

Can Manus handle multiple currencies in receipts?

Yes. Manus reads receipts in many currencies and can convert all expenses to a single base currency for the final report. Provide the exchange rate, or ask Manus to look up the historical rate for the date on each receipt and apply it consistently across the spreadsheet.

How is this different from a standard expense app?

Traditional apps require you to verify every scanned receipt and click through rigid menus. Manus acts as an agent. You hand it a messy folder of files and say, "Categorize these for my marketing budget," and it delivers a finished report. Browse the Manus Playbook for more end-to-end examples.
