Three main approaches to storing receipts
People today use three main approaches: phone photos, cloud storage, or specialized apps. Each has its advantages, but the differences show when you're dealing with something under pressure.
1. Phone photos
Works until you have hundreds of unnamed images.
Finding a specific receipt then becomes a nightmare, and if your phone breaks, you lose everything.
2. Cloud storage (Google Drive, iCloud, Dropbox)
Universal, but doesn't handle warranties, overview, or alerts.
You have to organize everything manually, and no one alerts you about expiring warranties.
3. Specialized document apps
Combine archiving with automatic data recognition, sorting, and tracking important deadlines. This is where DigiDoklad belongs.
When do you notice the difference between approaches?
You'll mainly notice the difference during:
- Appliance claims – you need the receipt in 2 minutes, not 2 hours
- Finding an old contract – full-text search vs. clicking through folders
- Checking warranty end – automatic alert vs. manual checking
- Sharing documents in the family – one account for everyone vs. sending photos
What should a good receipt app do?
The best receipt storage apps in 2026 should offer:
- Automatic text recognition from photos (OCR)
- Sorting by document type and store
- Alerts for expiring warranties and contracts
- Secure data encryption
- Offline functionality
- Simple search
Conclusion
The best receipt storage app isn't one that just "stores."
It's one that helps you when you need to solve something quickly and without stress.
