I’m always looking for new receipt apps; some are duds, but some quietly pay off over time. Receipt Jar didn’t wow me at first, but it’s grown on me enough that I’ve cashed out $10 and I’m close to my next $5. Here’s why it might work for you too.
What is Receipt Jar?
An app where you snap receipts, get points, then cash out for PayPal or gift cards.
The interface has a lot going on (tabs, buttons, pop-ups) but once you get the hang of it, it’s simple enough to use.
Key features:
📸 Snap a photo of your receipt — a bit buggy sometimes but works fine once it’s uploaded.
🛒 Earn points based on how much you spend (up to 20 points for $100+ receipts).
🔵🫙 Blue Jar: Weekly bonus: if you scan at least 1 approved receipt a week, you fill the Blue Jar for extra points.
🟡🫙Golden Jar: The more receipts you scan, the higher your level and the more your monthly Golden Jar is worth.
📊 Expense tracker — a nice bonus if you like seeing where your money goes.
I’ve cashed out $10 to PayPal so far, and I’m almost at my next $5.
Honestly, I didn’t love the interface at first — lots of buttons and tabs everywhere — but it’s grown on me. If you want one receipt app (or just a few), it works well.
Scanning can glitch sometimes (Fetch is still easier) and I almost always forget that the Golden Jar is clickable — don’t miss those bonus points!
Is It Worth It?
👍 Good if you don’t want 6 receipt apps cluttering your phone.
👍 Good if you like seeing your spending in one spot.
👍 Nice passive bonuses if you scan consistently.
👎 Not as instant/simple as Fetch; the scanning can take an extra step.
Receipt Jar probably won’t replace Fetch for me, but it’s earned a spot in my routine. If you’re picky about apps, or just want something that quietly stacks points without much work, it’s worth a try.
