NeoReceipt

The Keeper Alternative for Freelancers

Keeper: Bank-linked tax write-off finder and filing for gig workers. Built for people who want bank-connected bookkeeping plus in-app filing.

Short answer: Keeper scans your linked bank and card transactions to surface write-offs and lets you file in-app. If you prefer everything bank-linked, it is a strong choice. Choose NeoReceipt instead if you take cash, Venmo, or Zelle payments (which bank-linking misses) and want receipt-first capture with Schedule C categories and a flat price.

Why freelancers choose NeoReceipt over Keeper

Keeper's model is bank connection: link accounts, and it flags likely deductions and can file your return. That is convenient and hands-off.

The trade-offs are that cash and peer-to-peer spending can slip through, and it is a recurring subscription. NeoReceipt captures spending by photo and forwarding, so the money bank feeds never see is still recorded.

NeoReceipt saved me during tax season. As a freelance graphic designer, I had receipts scattered across emails and folders. In just three months, NeoReceipt automatically categorized over 400 receipts and helped me identify nearly $2,300 in deductible expenses I would have otherwise missed.

I drive for Uber and DoorDash full-time, and tracking gas and maintenance receipts was a nightmare. After switching to NeoReceipt, I reduced my bookkeeping time from 4 hours a week to less than 20 minutes and had every expense ready for my accountant.

As a real estate agent, I'm constantly on the road and collecting receipts from multiple vendors. NeoReceipt helped me recover over $4,100 in business deductions last year by ensuring nothing slipped through the cracks.
