We never sell your data, and no brand can pay to change what you see.
Free account. No card required. No bank connection.
Scan a receipt.
Photograph the paper. With a free account it is kept as yours.
Check prices as you shop.
Scan a barcode or shelf tag to see what shoppers paid.
Ask for the difference.
When Receipt Snoop says you can, take your receipt to the store. You make the request yourself.
A receipt you scan here without an account adds its prices to the shared pool once we can read it, with nothing that identifies you. Sign in and your scans are kept as yours, they join the pool only if you turn sharing on, and when a lower price for something you bought comes in, from your own scans or other shoppers', Receipt Snoop checks it against your receipt and the store's policy and tells you if you can ask for the difference. You make the request yourself.
Receipt Snoop: your receipt could help you get money back
Receipt Snoop is a consumer price-transparency service. It turns real shoppers' receipts into a shared pool of prices actually paid, keyed to real products, stores, times and places. That pool is the whole point: it is what lets one shopper see what an item really costs and what they can claim back when a retailer drops the price after the sale.
What it does
Scan a barcode and Receipt Snoop shows the range real shoppers paid for that exact item, drawn from their receipts rather than a list price or an estimate. Save your own receipts, by photographing the paper or forwarding the email, and it reads every price off them and keeps them safe.
The home page also shows a live strip of what shoppers are finding right now: recent items and the range people actually paid, drawn from the shared pool with no names attached. It fills as more real receipts come in.
Many retailers refund the difference if a price drops within a set number of days of your purchase, and most people never find out in time. When a lower price for something you bought comes in, from your own scans or other shoppers', Receipt Snoop checks it against your receipt and the store's policy and tells you if you can ask for the difference. You make the request yourself. It works out the amount, names the desk and counts the days; you take it to the desk yourself, and it never files anything on your behalf or touches your money. Which stores qualify is worked out from their published policies, on the home page under "Does my store qualify?".
Three ways to get your prices in
Scan a barcode in the aisle
Point your phone's camera at the shelf barcode, or type the digits printed under the bars on a computer, and log what it costs today.
Photograph a paper receipt
Snap the till roll. Receipt Snoop reads every line and checks the sums against the printed total, and if it cannot read one cleanly it says so rather than guessing.
Forward an email receipt
Forward a retailer's emailed receipt to your own Receipt Snoop address. When the signature on the mail checks out, that receipt is the strongest evidence in the system, because the retailer sent it and nothing was altered on the way.
Whose side this is on
We work for you, and that is the entire business model. We do not sell your data to brands, retailers, brokers or advertisers. No brand can pay to appear or to change what you see. Weekly ads show stores' own advertised prices, labelled 'ad', and nobody pays us to show them. Prices come from proof: receipts people photograph or forward, and retailers' own published weekly ads. A shelf price someone types reaches no other shopper until a real receipt from the same retailer agrees with it, within a cent and a week, which is exactly why the number can be trusted.
Delete means delete. With your password and one confirmation, it removes your receipts with their lines, discounts and photographs, and your sessions, then tells you how many receipts went. A few things outlive it, such as backups until they roll off, and the privacy policy lists every one. There is a real export, too.
Common questions
Do I need an account to try it?
No. Scan a barcode on the home page and see what other shoppers paid straight away. An account unlocks the exact item, the full price history, and your own claims.
Does it cost anything?
The account is free, with no card needed: scanning, your receipts, price-drop claims, your loyalty cards, your spending, and export and delete. Premium adds showing a saved loyalty card's barcode at the till and planning a shopping list across shops. Its planned price is $10 a month, $5 if you contribute some receipts, in-aisle scans or a linked rewards card, and nothing if you contribute a lot. The Snoop Agent is planned as a separate add-on at $5 a month. Neither is on sale yet, and nothing is charged. Premium can be earned by contributing.
Do you need my bank or store login?
No. Receipt Snoop never asks for a bank or retailer password and does no scraping. The wallet holds loyalty card numbers and barcodes only.
How do you know what a lower price is?
From a scan or a receipt that showed it: your own, another shopper's who shares, a receipt photographed without an account, or a store's weekly ad once it has been added. No price is taken from a retailer's website.
