How TagGun Makes Money

Receipt OCR API for automated data extraction

How did TagGun monetize?

Summary of the sourced claims below

TagGun monetizes primarily through usage-based fees where each scan of a receipt or invoice counts as one API request, and customers pay based on their monthly scan allocation with additional scans billed at decreasing rates for higher-volume plans. They also offer recurring subscription plans tailored to different customer sizes, such as developer, startup, and business plans, each including a set number of scans per month for a fixed monthly fee. Additionally, TagGun generates revenue through enterprise licensing by managing dedicated hosts for large customers.
