CartLensVerified tool

CartLens helps shoppers check whether the items they bought or are considering are priced fairly. Scan a receipt or price tag to compare item prices and full baskets across nearby stores, review potential overpays, and track spending over time.

What it does

Reads item names, prices, and quantities from scanned receipts or shelf price tags.

• Indicates whether you overpaid and identifies nearby stores with lower prices for matching items.
• Compares the expected cost of a full basket across nearby merchants.
• Tracks overpays and spending across stores and categories over repeated purchases.

Key features

• Receipt and price-tag scanning for any store or category.
• Local price comparisons based on receipts scanned by shoppers near you.
• Store-versus-store comparisons for the items you buy.
• Spending insights that show where money is going across trips, stores, and categories.
• CartAssistant, a chat feature for asking about cheaper options, savings, shopping lists, and where to shop. What makes it different CartLens says its price data comes from receipts scanned by local shoppers rather than web scrapers or delivery-app markups. Each additional scan is presented as contributing to the local price data available to the community.
