Why use a receipt scanner for nutrition?
Manual food logging is tedious. Most people give up after three days. A receipt scanner eliminates data entry, just snap and go. It catches everything you bought, not just what you remembered to log. And it surfaces patterns you'd miss: your Saturday shops running higher in sugar, or buying more snacks when you shop hungry.
FitMunch is built in Australia, for Australian products. Our food database covers Coles, Woolworths and Aldi house brands, not US-centric barcode databases that miss half your shop.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the receipt scanner free?
- Yes, free gets you real scans up to a monthly AI allowance, enough to try it properly. Once you hit that limit, scans pause until it resets or you upgrade. Premium is $19.99 AUD/mo with a 14-day trial (card on file) and removes the limit entirely. Cancel before the trial ends and you are not charged. Trainer tools are a separate lane.
- Does it work with crumpled or faded receipts?
- Yes. Our AI handles poor lighting, wrinkles and faded thermal paper. If it can't read something, it'll flag the item for manual confirmation.
- Do you store my receipts?
- Receipt photos are sent to an AI processor, then discarded. FitMunch does not keep the original photo on our servers. Extracted nutrition data may stay with your account if you save a meal, plan, or log. You can delete your data anytime.
- How accurate is the nutrition data?
- We use Australian food composition databases matched to supermarket product catalogues. Accuracy is typically within 5 to 10% for macro estimates. This is a food planning tool, not a medical device.
- Can my personal trainer see my receipts?
- Only if you connect with them through FitMunch for PTs and explicitly share your nutrition data. Your data is private by default.
