Here is a compiled master list of all the receipt scanning apps for cashback or rewards. We can actually divide these apps into 2 categories.
Receipt Coupon, Cashback and Rewards for You
Receipt Cashback and Rewards for Schools
Receipt Scanning Apps with Coupons, Cashback and/or Rewards for You:
Some of these apps give you cash back for scanning ANY receipt. These apps use the information for data analytics and pass you some cash for submitting the receipts. The payout per receipt for these types of apps is generally lower. Grocery receipt apps offer cashback on receipts via coupons. Most of these apps will stack with each other and can also be paired with credit card rewards and sometimes card linked offers to provide additional cashback. Signing up for all of these apps can earn you about $20 right away!
App Name:
iBotta
Icon:
Description:
Ibotta is a great way to earn cash back on grocery purchases. Just clip some coupons and scan your receipts to earn cash back. Ibotta is probably the most popular receipt scanning app with coupons. There is also a new “Pay with Ibotta” feature that allows you to pay through the app in-store and get cashback on your entire purchase.
This app is packed with coupons from grocery store items and also provides cash back at select gas stations nationwide. Just clip the coupons and scan your grocery receipts to receive cash back. For gas stations, select the station and add the offer. Then, scan your receipt for cash back. Check the app weekly because sometimes you will find great deals within the app.
Note: Gas station cash back DOES NOT stack with cash back from the GetUpside app. It appears that they use the same network on the backend.
CoinOut – This app will take any receipt and pays out a random amount for each receipt. Payout can range from a 1 cent to 13 cents. Payout can be done to PayPal when the balance reaches $10.
Fetch Rewards is packed with discounts on grocery items. The great thing about this this app is that you don’t have to clip any coupons at all. Just scan your receipt and the app will read the text on the receipt and automatically detect products that have coupons. With fetch rewards, you gain points instead of cashback. The points can be used to earn gift cards. The one downside with this app is you can’t withdraw your balance as cash.
This is a lesser known receipt app that has coupons for product, as well as organic and vegan products. This app is very similar to Ibotta, but is focused on health food.

App Name:
Coupons.com
Icon:
Description:
Coupons.com has a new app for clipping coupons and scanning your receipt. The app is similar to iBotta and Checkout 51. Coupons.com created this app as a replacement for the SavingStar app which was around for a lot longer than the other cashback apps. It offers a decent amount of cashback and no withdrawal limit to cash out to PayPal. The best part of this app is that you can link your store loyalty apps to it and the coupons will automatically be added.
Note: Coupons.com has completely discontinued the SavingStar app and any balances in the former app did not carry over to the Coupons.com app. Any balance that you had *may* be able to be transferred by emailing [email protected].
