Receipt scanner for iPhone, iPad and Mac

Catch the item you paid for twice.

Scan your receipt before you leave the store. In a few seconds, Dupe Detective highlights anything rung up twice, so it gets fixed at the counter.

3 free scans and a 7-day free trial, then $4.99 a year.

A scanned grocery receipt in Dupe Detective with the same item, Kettle Avo, highlighted in red on two lines

Works with receipts from Costco, BJ's, Walmart, Target, Kroger, Fry's, Safeway and most major grocery stores. At Sam's Club, receipts save and your list works as usual, but Sam's prints a double scan as one line with a quantity of 2, so check any line with a quantity above 1.

Three steps. A few seconds.

Check the receipt while you're still at the counter, when fixing a mistake takes a minute instead of a phone call.

    Get it fixed on the spot

    Show the highlighted line at the register or service desk. Flagged receipts stay in Alerts.

A double scan takes a minute to fix at the counter. At home, it's a phone call, a drive back or a bank dispute.

A mistake caught at the counter is a customer kept.
