ReceiptHub is H&R Block Australia's free receipt app: snap or upload receipts, keep a vehicle logbook, track work-from-home hours and email everything to your tax agent. It is a good free tool. Where it stops is email — receipts that arrive in your inbox still have to be saved and uploaded by hand. That is the job The Paper Keep is built for.
Pick by the job you need done, not the feature count.
A personal receipt archive that fills itself from your email.
Connects your inboxes, imports months of history, keeps every original and line item, and summarises each July–June tax year. A$3/mo flat.
A free tax-time receipt and logbook app from H&R Block.
Snap receipts or upload photos and PDFs, categorise them, log car trips automatically, track WFH hours, then export by month or tax year to your tax agent. Open to everyone, not just H&R Block clients.

The Paper Keep doesn't try to be everything. If any of these describes you, pick accordingly.
ReceiptHub costs nothing and covers the basics of snapping and exporting deductible receipts well.
Its automatic logbook records work trips in the background. The Paper Keep has no mileage tracking.
Sending your records to your tax consultant is built in.
Online orders, subscriptions and e-receipts are collected from your inbox automatically instead of being screenshotted and uploaded.
Warranties, returns and big household purchases stay searchable alongside tax receipts, with the original email kept.
Line items, per-item tags, duplicate detection and edit history help when one receipt mixes work and personal items.
If your deductible receipts are mostly paper and you also log car trips, ReceiptHub is a good free choice and hard to argue with. If most of your receipts come by email, or you want one place for warranties and returns as well as tax, The Paper Keep collects them for you for A$30 a year. Many people could use both: ReceiptHub for the logbook, The Paper Keep for everything in the inbox.
