support@cartwise.appSimply point your camera at your Costco receipt or select a photo from your library. CartWise uses Gemini AI to automatically extract every item, price, quantity, and discount. The entire process takes about 2 seconds. You can also scan receipts offline -- they will be processed when you reconnect.
Costco offers a price adjustment policy where if an item you purchased drops in price within 30 days, you can request a refund of the difference. CartWise Pro monitors all your purchases and alerts you automatically when a price drop is detected at any store in your area.
Our AI-powered scanner is highly accurate for standard Costco receipts. After scanning, you can review and edit any extracted items before saving. We recommend checking the results for the first few scans to ensure everything looks correct.
Yes. CartWise is built with a local-first architecture, which means all your data is stored on your device first. You can scan receipts, browse your history, and check your shopping list without an internet connection. Data syncs automatically when connectivity is restored.
The free version includes unlimited receipt scanning, receipt history and search, price history charts, crowd indicators for store busyness, restock suggestions, a smart shopping list with current prices, and product metadata lookup. That is a lot of value at no cost.
CartWise Pro unlocks automatic price adjustment alerts, claim tracking, sale push notifications (e.g., "3 items on your list just dropped"), sale timing insights, optimal trip suggestions, and the full Smart Cart Live Activity with real-time price alerts.
A single CartWise Pro subscription covers up to 6 household members. The account owner invites members from within the app. All members share receipt data, price history, and shopping lists.
CartWise aggregates anonymized visit data from users to provide real-time busyness estimates for stores in your area. This helps you plan your trips for less crowded times. The more CartWise users at a store, the more accurate the crowd data becomes.
Yes. All data is encrypted both in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Receipt images are automatically deleted after 90 days. We use Supabase for our cloud infrastructure, which provides enterprise-grade security. We never sell your personal data to third parties.
