Question 1

Is Yavo free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yavo is free to download and includes core features: voice expense logging, manual entry, photo receipt scanning, and expense history. A premium subscription unlocks unlimited receipt scans, detailed analytics, export, and more. Check the in-app subscription screen for current pricing.

Question 2

How does AI receipt scanning work?

Accepted Answer

Point your camera at any paper receipt. Yavo's AI reads the merchant name, total amount, and date automatically using optical character recognition (OCR). The expense is created with a suggested category - you can review and save it in one tap. The original receipt photo is stored alongside the expense.

Question 3

How does voice expense logging work?

Accepted Answer

Tap the microphone button and say your expense in plain language - for example, "Coffee 4.50" or "Uber to airport 28 dollars." Yavo extracts the amount, optional category, and currency. Works in English and multiple other languages. Best used in a reasonably quiet environment.

Question 4

Does Yavo work for freelancers and self-employed people?

Accepted Answer

Yes - Yavo is particularly well-suited to freelancers and the self-employed. You can track business expenses separately, photograph receipts immediately after purchase, log cash expenses by voice, and export a categorized report at tax time. Categories like office supplies, travel, meals, and software subscriptions are built in.

Question 5

Can I export my expenses for taxes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Yavo lets you export your expense history as a CSV or PDF, filtered by date range and category. This gives you a clean, organized record to share with your accountant or import into tax software. Premium subscribers get full export access.

Question 6

Is Yavo available on Android?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Yavo is available on both iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play). Download it free on either platform.

Question 7

Does Yavo support multiple currencies?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can log expenses in any currency. Set your base currency in Settings, and Yavo will show totals converted to your home currency using current exchange rates. Useful if you travel frequently or work with international clients.

Question 8

How accurate is the AI categorization?

Accepted Answer

Accuracy is high for common merchants and receipt types - restaurants, supermarkets, transport, software subscriptions. Unusual or handwritten receipts may need a quick manual correction. You can always edit any category after logging, and the AI learns from your common patterns over time.

Question 9

Is my expense data private and secure?

Accepted Answer

See yavo-app.com/faq/ for the full answer.

Question 10

Can I add expenses without a receipt?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Manual entry is always available - tap the add button, enter the amount, pick a category, and optionally add a note and date. Voice logging is the fastest option for cash expenses or situations where there's no receipt (parking meters, tips, market stalls).

Question 11

How do I cancel my Yavo subscription?

Accepted Answer

Subscriptions are managed through your device's app store. On iOS: Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → Yavo → Cancel. On Android: Google Play Store → Subscriptions → Yavo → Cancel. Your access continues until the end of the current billing period.
