How it works

1. Add your items: Scan a receipt, snap a shelf tag, or pick items you've bought before.
2. CartLens checks nearby stores: It looks up each item at stores near you, using prices from real receipts first.
3. See the cheapest option: Get the total at each store, the cheapest one for your list, and what you'd save.

What you get

• The whole basket, not one item: A store can be cheap for milk and expensive for everything else. CartLens compares the total.
• Prices from real shoppers: Prices come from receipts scanned by people near you, not web scrapers or delivery-app markups.
• Verified or estimated, clearly marked: Each price shows whether it comes from a receipt or is an estimate, so you know how far to trust it.
• Store vs. store: Put two stores side by side and see which one is cheaper for exactly what you buy.

Common questions

How is this different from other price comparison apps?

Most apps compare one product at a time using online prices. CartLens compares your whole basket across nearby physical stores, using prices from receipts scanned by real shoppers.

Where do the prices come from?

Mainly from receipts that CartLens users choose to share, anonymously. Where no receipt exists yet, CartLens shows an estimate and labels it as one.

Does it work for stores other than grocery stores?

Yes. CartLens compares prices for any category: pharmacy, hardware, electronics, household goods and more.

Which plan do I need?

Comparing your whole basket is part of Pro ($19.99/mo, or $16.66/mo billed yearly). You can scan receipts for free first.

Does CartLens know which stores are near me?

Yes, if you allow location access. CartLens uses it to find nearby stores and compare their prices. You can also pick a store yourself.
