Our verdict on Taggun
Taggun is a managed REST API that turns receipt and invoice images, PDFs, and digital files into structured data. It is designed for expense-management, accounting, loyalty, rewards, and receipt-based promotion applications. The API returns totals, taxes, dates, merchant details, line items, identifiers, raw OCR text, confidence information, and field coordinates. It supports JPEG, PNG, GIF, HEIF/HEIC, and PDF files, with processing in 205 languages and API-key authentication.
Pricing scales by the depth of intelligence and support included. The Developer plan costs $28 per month and includes core receipt and invoice fields, line-item and country-specific fields, all official languages, and self-guided onboarding. Startup costs $99 per month and adds tax intelligence, purchase categorisation, merchant intelligence, and product identifier or SKU extraction. Business costs $399 per month and adds NDA and DPA availability plus email, Slack, and Zoom support. Advanced costs $799 per month and adds fraud detection, promotional receipt validation, performance tuning, and bulk discount pricing. A 30-day trial is available, and the published plans show monthly billing.
Taggun’s strongest fit is receipt intelligence rather than general-purpose document automation. Its country-specific extraction, tax intelligence, merchant data, and fraud signals address workflows where document content needs to support financial or promotional decisions. Fraud signals cover duplicates, tampering, handwriting, and digital receipts, while promotional validation is available on the Advanced plan. The API has SDK support for Python, JavaScript, PHP, C#, Java, Android, iOS, and cURL, plus a Make.com integration. Choose Taggun when multilingual receipt and invoice extraction is central to the application and structured metadata matters; consider an alternative when a free plan, broader integrations, or a lower-cost route to advanced fraud and tax features is the priority.
