 "summary": "Petty cash app for small businesses: cash floats per custodian, receipt scanning, staff submissions with approval, automatic VAT or GST split and export files for Zoho Books, QuickBooks and Xero. Works offline in the browser.",
 "best_for": "small businesses that run an imprest petty cash float (shops, restaurants, site offices, clinics, schools) and want receipts, approvals and the VAT split in one simple app",
 "skip_if": "you need full expense management with corporate cards and reimbursements, or your accounting software already handles petty cash well enough",
 "honest_knock": "Without the Cloud sync add-on, your records live in the browser on each device: lose the phone without a recent backup and the data is gone, and a team cannot share one ledger. The licence is checked online about once a week. After the trial, existing entries stay viewable but adding new ones needs a paid licence. It is a small, single-purpose tool from a small vendor; check that it does what your accountant needs before moving your petty cash process onto it.",

  "notes": "(read 2026-11-02 on pettycash.getdailytools.com, pricing section and FAQ; the page says prices are in US dollars, with VAT or GST added at checkout where your country requires it) Petty Cash Manager has one app and four ways to pay, and every plan includes every feature. The difference is the billing term and the number of devices: Monthly is $7 a month on 2 devices; 3 months is $16.99 ($5.66 a month) on 3 devices; 6 months is $26.99 ($4.50 a month) on 5 devices; Yearly is $41.99 ($3.50 a month) on 6 devices. Cloud sync, which keeps a shared copy on the vendor's EU cloud server so a team sees the same entries, is an add-on of +$3 a month on any plan. Plans renew automatically and can be cancelled any time; there is a 14-day free trial without a card and a full refund if you email within 14 days of any payment. The page also shows a launch offer: 50% off your first payment for the first 20 customers, until 18 November 2026.",
