Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Summo

Why should I trust you with my receipts?

We use enterprise-grade AI partners to process your receipts with strict privacy shields, and your data is hosted securely in the EU. We are a Swedish company that strictly adheres to GDPR, and most importantly: our business model is subscription-based, which means we never view you as a product and we never sell your data to advertisers. You can export all your data anytime.

Why do I need this if I have a banking app?

Banking apps only tell you the total (e.g., "£50 at Tesco"), but Summo tells you exactly what you bought (e.g., "Milk, Chicken, Avocados"). This item-level detail unlocks insights a bank can't provide, like tracking how much you spend on specific categories, spotting price inflation on your favourite items, or analysing your nutritional habits.

Does the AI actually work, or do I have to fix it?

Our receipt scanner is incredibly good at reading imperfect receipts, including abbreviations and crumpled paper, so manual corrections are rarely needed. However, no technology is perfect, so if the app does miss an item or get a price wrong, you can easily tap to edit the purchase details in seconds.

Will I actually keep the inventory up to date?

Yes, because you don't have to do it manually. Every time you scan a receipt, Summo automatically adds those items to your digital pantry. It tracks estimated freshness based on product type and notifies you what needs to be used first, so you waste less and always know what you have at home.

Can a receipt really tell me about my nutrition?

Surprisingly well. Summo focuses on "big picture" health trends by analysing the product description on your receipt and estimating nutritional values. It is perfect for answering broad questions like "Did I buy enough vegetables this month?" without the hassle of scanning barcodes for every single item.

Do I need to pay twice to share with my partner?

No. We designed Summo for households to track a combined budget and share shopping lists. Our Plus plan covers you and a partner (2 members), while our Asterisk tier supports larger families of up to 5 members. It works cross-platform: it does not matter if the subscription was purchased on iOS—family members can join from Android or the web.

Will this actually help me cook?

Based on what is currently in your pantry inventory, our AI suggests meals you can make right now. It shows you exactly which ingredients you already have and which ones you would need to buy. You can add missing items to your shopping list with a single tap.

Does this really work with my local corner store?

Yes. Because Summo uses advanced AI to read the receipt text just like a human would, it is not limited to specific supermarket chains. Whether it is a paper receipt or a digital one from an online order, just snap or upload it. We support over 35 languages and all global currencies.
