Pros
It's a fantastic way to store recipes and track expenses. The team is responsive and the app is user friendly.
Customer service is always very helpful and I appreciate that you have a live chat option. I like the new feature of being able to update the types of payments.
Shoeboxed helps to make that process easy by just dropping everything in an envelope and a few days later it is scanned in our account which we can then save or import into accounting software.
Cons
This is frustrating because it should be an unnecessary task. Shoeboxed already knows the envelope number, and could have printed it on the outside, or on the inside, but they don't.
Some receipts uploaded have printing issues, blurry so on, that is the major draw back.
It is hard to keep things described and separated properly. I don't think that it has a high enough functionality for me to use it all year long.

Shoeboxed takes many hours out of preparing our business and personal information for taxes.

Reviewed 6 years ago

The biggest benefit by far, is the time that is saved organizing both personal and small business receipts for proper tax/business purposes. It took the hours and hours spent monthly organizing and inputting receipts, down to a few minutes a month.

Pros

The ability to submit both paper and electronic receipts, easily and quickly organize them through the online interface, and prepare them for our use with reports, taxes, etc. Also, the ability to organize the information by location, date, or category; and, export in Excel/CSV format is excellent. Lastly, the ability to create rules for future receipts (for example, what category should be assigned) is great.

Cons

The online interface sometimes operates a little slow when opening up and looking through individual receipts, but it is a minor inconvenience. The cost is a little high, but in the end worth it for the time that is saved annually preparing for taxes.

Pros

The ease of use and the search functionality. I can always find what I am looking for and have never had issues.

Cons

I wish I could use it for more things in life! In all honesty, I think the app could be improved a bit, but it's still a great software.

good way to store picture

Reviewed 6 years ago

It helps me sleep easy knowing that all my receipts are stored so that I may access and categorize them when I have spare time. A good side activity to TV watching. I wish that it was a bit simpler to enter the information about the purchase/receipt right when I take the picture of the receipt. Sometimes this presents as an option, but rarely.

Pros

I like that I can save a picture of my receipt before I leave the store. The system is simple. The free membership, leaves a lot of work, but is still helpful.

Cons

1. It would be nice if i didn't have to tell it to got to camera (instead of library) every time. 2. Rarely the page to enter the info right when I take the picture appears. Usually it just gives an opportunity to make a note, which isn't helpful. I'd like to open the app, take a pic, and enter the data. All right away.

Easy to use and decreases accounting workload.

Reviewed 6 years ago

Much easier time keeping track of receipts.

Pros

Ease of use. It's really convenient to keep an envelope in a car to collect receipts on the go and to mail in once a week once a new envelope arrives. I really like this feature and it has allowed us to save all our receipts!

Cons

I wish it automatically matched with my QuickBooks banking. Right now we use quckbooks independently of shoeboxed as it will double enter the same transactions and not automatically match them. This is unfortunate!

Robust capture

Pros

Their proprietary magic envelope system is very, easy to use and incorporate into your routine w/r/t any paper that needs to be captured.

Cons

Search functionality inside website is very limited. They should consider adding Google custom search functionality or partnering with a service like Findo.
