About MakeReceipt
MakeReceipt bills itself as the original online receipt maker. It offers 60+ category templates (restaurant, retail, gas, pharmacy, parking, taxi and more), multi-currency and multi-language support, and lets you create free receipts that carry a watermark until you join a paid membership. Its Standard, Pro and Enterprise tiers are priced on its sign-up page rather than a pricing page — $7.99, $12.79 and $39.99 a month when we read it on 2026-08-30.
What MakeReceipt does well
- One of the longest-running receipt makers, with strong brand recognition
- Multi-currency and multi-language (English, Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, Portuguese, French, Italian, German)
- Wide range of category templates with logo, font and detail editing
Where Makecepeit is stronger
- No AI receipt generator — every field is filled in by hand
- Fewer named-brand templates (Walmart, Target, CVS…) than Makecepeit's 348
- Membership prices sit on the sign-up page, not a pricing page — its /pricing redirects away; Makecepeit publishes $3/wk, $7.99/mo, $49/yr up front
The verdict
If you want a long-established tool with deep multi-language support, MakeReceipt is a proven option. But if you want AI-assisted receipts, 348 specific brand templates, both PDF and PNG export, and pricing you can see before you commit, Makecepeit is the stronger, more transparent choice — and you can build a full receipt for free before spending anything.
