Yes. ExpenseBot can scan your Gmail history and recover receipts from prior years — this is called catch-up (or historical) scanning, and it's built for when you're behind on bookkeeping or need to reconstruct a past year for taxes.
How far back does it go?
As far back as your Gmail goes — there is no fixed cutoff. If a receipt email is still in your inbox or archive, the AI can find it, read it, and extract the expense. You point it at the year (or years) you're behind on and it does the digging instead of you scrolling through thousands of old emails.
What it costs
- Current year — included with a subscription ($10/month or $100/year), scanned nightly going forward.
- Last completed year — a $20 one-time unlock. Annual plans include last year's historical scan free.
- Any older year — a $40 one-time unlock, one year at a time, reaching as far back as your Gmail history goes.
You only pay for the older years you actually want to recover.
What it finds
Amazon order confirmations, Uber and Lyft rides, airline tickets, hotel bookings, meal-delivery receipts, SaaS subscriptions (Zoom, Adobe, Google Workspace), office-supply orders, shipping receipts, and general vendor invoices — including PDF attachments and receipts in the email body.
Perfect for
- Filing back taxes or amending a return
- Being a year (or more) behind on the books and catching up in one sitting
- A new accountant asking for last year's history
- FSA/HSA reimbursement catch-up before a claim deadline
- Year-end cleanup (pairs with the Year-End Tax Workbook)
Only receipt-type emails are read — your personal correspondence is never accessed — and everything extracted lands categorized in a Google Sheet in your own Google Drive, ready to export to QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, or CSV.
