“Keep the receipt,” they said. An AI finally made it worth doing

Stubs photographs your receipts, tracks every warranty window and return deadline in one place — and when something breaks, it drafts the claim email with the proof attached.

Somewhere in your home is the drawer. Faded thermal paper, a furnace invoice, the box for headphones you returned in 2023. We keep receipts because we're told to — and then the dishwasher starts leaking in month eleven of a twelve-month warranty, and the one slip of paper that would make it free is the one the drawer ate.

Stubs is an AI built around a simple bet: a receipt is only useful if something remembers it for you. Photograph the slip at the door or forward the email confirmation, and Stubs reads it — store, item, price, date — then works out what the purchase is entitled to: the return window, the manufacturer's warranty, any extended coverage your credit card quietly added on top. From then on, the deadlines watch themselves.

The slip, upgraded

Every capture becomes this: amounts, windows, coverage layers — and a claim button you'll hopefully never need.

The drawer never answered emails

First 20 receipts free — no credit card

Photos and email forwards both work · takes seconds per receipt

What it tracks that you wouldn't

Windows

Return & warranty clocks

Every purchase gets its timers: store return window, manufacturer warranty, extended coverage. A nudge arrives before each one closes — not after.

Layers

The coverage you forgot you had

Many credit cards double a manufacturer's warranty automatically. Stubs knows the common programs and files your purchase against them.

Claims

The email, pre-written

When something breaks, Stubs drafts the claim: model, serial, purchase proof, the exact warranty clause. You read it, you send it, you stay in charge.

Paper

Thermal paper insurance

Receipts fade in months; the photo doesn't. Originals stay stored full-resolution for the stores that insist on seeing the real slip.

"The kettle died at month ten. Stubs had the receipt, the serial and the clause — the replacement shipped before the drawer would have been found." — from our hands-on test, Partner Desk

What it costs

The free tier needs no credit card and doesn't expire. Stubs sells nothing else with your data: no retailer partnerships, no "personalized offers," no ads built from what you buy. The receipts work for you, not for a marketing department.

Printed answers

Do email receipts work, or only paper?

Both. Forward order confirmations to your Stubs address and they file themselves; paper slips take one photo. Mixed households of both are the norm.

Can Stubs see my bank or card transactions?

No. It never connects to your bank. It only knows the purchases you give it — that's the design, not a missing feature.

What happens to my purchase data?

It stays yours: never sold, never shared with retailers or advertisers, exportable any time, and deleted completely with your account.

Does a claim actually need the paper original?

Usually the photo is enough in Canada; some stores ask for the original for returns, which is why Stubs reminds you to keep paper slips until the return window closes.

Eleven months from now, this was a good idea

20 receipts free — the next broken kettle pays for the habit
