Receipt scanner
Scan any receipt. Find out if you overpaid.
Take a photo of a receipt or price tag. CartLens reads every item and price in seconds, then tells you whether you paid a fair price and where nearby is cheaper.
How it works
- Snap a photo: Point your camera at a receipt or a shelf tag, or upload a photo you already have.
- CartLens reads it: Every item, price, quantity and the store are pulled out for you, ready to check.
- Get your verdict: See which items you overpaid for, compared with prices other shoppers paid nearby.
What you get

Common questions
What can CartLens scan?
Paper receipts, shelf price tags and product photos, from any store and in any category.
Is the receipt scanner free?
Yes. Scanning is free, and the free plan keeps up to 5 trips every 30 days. Pro removes the limit and adds Bulk Import.
How does CartLens know if I overpaid?
It compares each price on your receipt with what other shoppers near you paid for the same item, and with your own past purchases.
What happens to my receipts?
They stay in your account. Sharing prices with other shoppers is opt-in and anonymous, you can export your data as JSON, and deleting your account deletes your data.
Can I scan several receipts at once?
Yes, with Bulk Import on Pro. Upload a batch of receipt photos and CartLens processes them in the background.
