Our manifesto · Why Bon.line exists

More than scanning receipts.

Bon.line wants every household to understand what their money is really for. Gut feeling becomes clear numbers. Arguments become fairness. Many receipts become real price transparency.

A receipt is more than paper.

A receipt shows what we need, what we like, what we share, what is getting more expensive — and sometimes also what we no longer consciously decide. Bon.line turns these small everyday data points into something useful: oversight, fairness and awareness.

Three promises that carry everything.

Behind every feature, every analysis, every line of code stands one of three central promises that Bon.line wants to be held to.

Oversight

Bank statements become products. Lump sums become understanding. You don't just see the total — you see the products behind it.

Fairness

Who paid what? What was shared, what private? Bon.line takes the heat out of money — clear numbers instead of bad feelings.

Awareness

We don't preach restriction. We make visible what went unnoticed. Whoever sees their patterns can change them — or consciously keep them.

Six topics we explain in depth.

There's the short answer in everyday life — and the long answer for those who really want to understand why Bon.line is built the way it is. Six topics we work out in depth:

Our principle

Your household stays private. Prices become visible.

Bon.line processes sensitive data — we know this, and we treat it accordingly. Personal shopping profiles stay within your household. What the platform aggregates with your permission is anonymised, decoupled from people and used exclusively for one thing: making price development visible. At product level. Over time. Not about you.

"We don't sell personal shopping profiles. We don't want to make you transparent — we want to make visible where prices are squeezing." — from the Bon.line manifesto

What Bon.line does — and what it doesn't.

So it's clear where the lines run. At a glance:

What we DON'T do

  • Sell personal shopping profiles to third parties
  • Preach restriction or moralise
  • Make you the transparent one
  • Use your data for AI training
  • Demand real names — nicknames are enough

What we do

  • Analyse receipts at product level
  • Settle shared expenses fairly
  • Make personal price development visible
  • Use aggregated price data anonymously
  • Privacy by design — household and billing data separated

Our goal is simple.

"Till receipts become clear numbers.
Gut feeling becomes awareness.
Arguments become fairness.
Many shopping trips become price transparency."
That's Bon.line.
