What's New
Shipped and planned versions of BiteSpend. Newest at the top.
v1.2 · Planned · "Insights"
Planned
Headline
The Trends tab becomes Insights. Every scan gets an instant AI breakdown. Pro unlocks Ask BiteSpend, a chat assistant for your full spending history.
What's new
- Trends tab renamed to Insights to reflect what it actually does
- Per-receipt AI breakdown right after every scan: category mix, items you bought before, items cheaper at another store you shop at (Free)
- Ask BiteSpend chat panel: ask anything about your spending history, across stores, over any timeframe (Pro)
- Trends-style charts stay, now alongside the AI interpretation
Why it matters
Receipt data only earns its keep when something interprets it. Per-receipt insights are the wow moment for new users right after a scan. Ask BiteSpend is the depth that your full purchase history deserves and the natural Pro upsell.
