At-a-glance fit
Choose Shopistats when your reporting depends on clean line-item data and fewer repeated edits. Choose SparkReceipt when your priority is simple capture plus statement-to-receipt matching for bookkeeping handoff.
What each platform is best for
Shopistats fits teams that need SKU/category-level detail for budgeting and analytics. SparkReceipt fits lean bookkeeping workflows focused on ingesting receipts and matching them against imported statement transactions.
Capability differences that matter
The biggest difference is data depth and learning behavior. Shopistats emphasizes granular line items, bank-feed reconciliation, and correction memory. SparkReceipt publicly highlights OCR capture and statement matching; deeper correction-learning behavior is less explicit in its public documentation.
Migration and adoption
A practical migration path is to import a representative week of receipts into Shopistats, verify line-item output, and compare cleanup effort side-by-side. Most teams switch once they see fewer recurring corrections and stronger downstream reporting consistency.
Decision checklist
Pick Shopistats if you need item-level granularity, connected bank reconciliation, and correction memory as core capabilities. Pick SparkReceipt if your workflow is primarily receipt OCR plus statement matching and accountant review.
