An expense tracker that beats your spreadsheet

Keep the control of a spreadsheet, lose the manual typing and broken formulas. Just snap or chat your spending.

Free to start · No credit card · No bank connection

A spreadsheet gives you total control, but it asks for total effort: every purchase typed by hand, categories filled in, formulas kept alive, and currencies converted yourself. Most people quietly give up by week three.

Claeva keeps the control and removes the chores. Snap a receipt or type an expense in plain language, and the AI categorizes it, converts the currency, and updates your budgets and charts automatically — no cells to maintain.

No manual data entry

Snap a receipt or type a quick note and the AI reads the amount, merchant, and category for you.

Categories that fill themselves

Auto-categorization means no more dropdowns and copy-paste — and you can still adjust anything.

Currency conversion done for you

Log in any currency and Claeva applies live exchange rates, so there are no manual FX columns.

Insights without formulas

Patterns, monthly breakdowns, and forecasts build automatically — no pivot tables required.

You stay in control

Like a spreadsheet, only the spending you enter is tracked. There's no bank connection.

Questions, answered

Why switch from a spreadsheet to Claeva?

A spreadsheet works until the manual entry wears you down. Claeva keeps the same control over what's tracked but removes the typing, categorizing, and currency math — so you actually keep it up.

Can I still see my own categories and totals?

Yes. Claeva auto-categorizes each expense and shows monthly breakdowns, budgets, and forecasts — and you can edit categories whenever you want.

Does it handle multiple currencies like my spreadsheet formulas?

Better — you log spending in any currency and Claeva converts it with live exchange rates automatically, with no formulas to maintain.

Is it free?

Yes. The core tracker is free. Paid plans add Live voice logging and more AI headroom, with a 7-day free trial.
