Apps like Receipt Hog

Receipt Hog has three things that most of its usual replacements lack: a cash-out at $5, a ladder of tiers that pays more per coin the longer you save, and a Canadian version that pays in Canadian currency. Our Fetch alternatives page sorts receipt apps by whether they take any receipt. This one sorts them by the three things a Receipt Hog user would lose by switching.

What Receipt Hog actually pays

A coin-receipt from a grocery-type store earns by basket size: 5 coins under $10, 10 coins from $10 to $50, 15 from $50 to $100 and 20 at $100 or more. Once a week's receipts have earned 100 coins, each further receipt that week earns 5 coins and a sweepstakes entry. Receipt Hog's weeks run the 1st to the 7th, the 8th to the 14th, the 15th to the 21st, and the 22nd to the end of the month.

The redemption tiers are the same for PayPal, an Amazon e-gift card and a Visa e-gift card: 1,000 coins for $5, 2,900 for $15, 4,300 for $25 and 6,500 for $40. Its help center adds that the reward value is always in the currency of the country your account is based in, so a Canadian account cashes out in Canadian dollars. Its terms are titled U.S. and Canada Terms and Conditions, and they give the two countries different inactivity rules: three consecutive months in the US, one year in Canada. Our Receipt Hog review and the arithmetic on what it pays go through the weekly ceiling in full.

On 20 October 2026 the US App Store listing showed 272,175 ratings averaging 4.8, the Canadian one about 30,500, and Google Play about 344,000 reviews. The app was last updated on 12 October 2026. Nobody leaves it because it stopped working. People leave because 100 coins a week is fifty cents.

All of them side by side

Every figure is the publisher's own, read on 20 October 2026 and linked at the foot of the page. Canada means the app was listed in the Canadian App Store that day.

The table ranks nothing. A $20 floor at Checkout 51 can arrive faster than $5 at Receipt Hog in a week with good offers, because the money per receipt is set by brands rather than by a weekly cap.

The same deal, any receipt, coins and tiers

ReceiptJar

ReceiptJar, run by The U Group & Co Limited, is the closest copy of Receipt Hog's arithmetic we found. Its help centre publishes the same four basket bands (5 points up to $10, 10 to $50, 15 to $100 and 20 above $100) and the first two redemption tiers match Receipt Hog's exactly: 1,000 points for $5 and 2,900 for $15. After that it goes its own way, with 3,900 for $20, 9,500 for $50 and 19,000 for $100. It accepts receipts from restaurants, bars, cafes, petrol stations and clothing stores as well as groceries, and it runs in the US, Canada and Australia, with PayPal offered in the US and Canada.

Three rules make it a stricter deal. Receipts must be uploaded within seven days of purchase, against fourteen at Receipt Hog. An account with no physical receipt for 30 days is reset, with points, pending redemptions and level forfeited. And a first redemption requires connecting an email account and completing a profile survey, which is a larger grant than photographing a receipt. We did not find a published weekly cap. On 20 October 2026 the US App Store listing showed 65,368 ratings and Google Play about 57,500 reviews, and the app was last updated in August 2026.

CoinOut

CoinOut takes any receipt within 14 calendar days and pays 10 to 50 coins each, depending on your level, for the first 25 receipts a week and 125 a month. The first reward is a $3 gift card, unlocked at Silver level with 3,000 coins. Venmo starts at Gold and PayPal appears only at Diamond, in $25 and $50 amounts. Your level is set on the 1st of each month from the previous month's activity, and coins expire after 90 days without a valid paper receipt, with seven days' warning. It is US only: it was not listed in the Canadian App Store on 20 October 2026. The US listing showed 89,951 ratings.

If you are in Canada

This is where most "apps like" lists stop being useful, because the apps they lead with are American. On 20 October 2026 Fetch, Ibotta and CoinOut were not listed in the Canadian App Store, and Fetch's FAQ says it is only available to shoppers in the United States.

Checkout 51

Checkout 51 still exists and was updated on 13 October 2026. It is an offer app rather than an any-receipt app: you add offers, buy the items while the offer is live and upload the receipt before it ends. Canadian offers pay cash back in Canadian dollars and need Canadian purchases. Cash-out starts at $20, to PayPal or by mailed check, with Venmo for US members only. Its terms list Canada and the United States as the countries served.

The term to read is the inactivity charge. After 180 days without a claimed offer, Checkout 51 may deduct $3.99 of cash back a month until the balance is gone, after 30 days' notice by email. Quebec residents get a year instead of 180 days. The Canadian App Store listing showed 7,314 ratings and the US one 6,484, and Google Play about 81,000 reviews.

Caddle

Caddle is Canadian and pays for responding to surveys, buying featured products and writing reviews, rather than for any receipt. Its site says you can cash out from $20 by Interac e-Transfer to your registered email. It publishes no per-task rate on that page. On 20 October 2026 it was listed in the Canadian App Store with 2,396 ratings and not in the US one.

The ones that need a decision before you shop

Ibotta

Ibotta pays cash back on offers listed in the app rather than on any receipt, and withdrawal needs at least $20 in earnings, one redeemed offer and a seven-day wait after that first one. It pays to a bank, PayPal or a gift card. It is the biggest app on this page after Fetch, with 1,973,855 US App Store ratings on 20 October 2026, and it was not listed in the Canadian store.

Fetch

Fetch takes up to 35 receipts in a rolling seven days, each within 14 days of checkout, and most rewards start at 3,000 points. Points expire after 90 days of inactivity. Its terms say points have no cash, monetary or other value and cannot be redeemed for cash in whole or in part, so a Receipt Hog user moving to Fetch gives up PayPal entirely. Its US listing showed 7,781,971 ratings, by far the most here.

Shopmium, which is gone from North America

Shopmium still turns up on these lists, but Checkout 51's help center says Shopmium officially closed on 14 November 2024 and its offers moved to Checkout 51. It still operates in the United Kingdom, where its App Store listing showed 20,292 ratings on 20 October 2026, and it was not listed in the US or Canadian store.

Why ours is not on the list

None of our four apps reads a receipt, so none of them replaces Receipt Hog. They pay coins for a daily habit, reach a first PayPal payout at 2,000 coins, which is $2.00, and pay 5,000 coins, or $5, after that. If what you liked about Receipt Hog was being paid for shopping you had already done, install one of the apps above.

What these apps do better than ours

• They pay for something you were doing anyway. Every app on this page attaches its reward to a purchase. Ours pay only for work you do after installing them.
• Checkout 51 and Ibotta move bigger amounts. A single good offer can beat a week of anything we pay, because the money comes from a brand's marketing budget.
• Receipt Hog, ReceiptJar and Checkout 51 serve Canada in Canadian currency, and say so in their own help pages. Caddle pays by Interac e-Transfer, which is the payment Canadians actually use.
• Receipt Hog rewards saving up. Its $40 tier pays about 23% more per coin than its $5 tier. Ours pays the same rate at every payout.
• The track records are long. Hundreds of thousands of ratings for Receipt Hog and millions for Fetch and Ibotta are better evidence that the money arrives than anything an app of our size can offer.

How to check any of these yourself

Three numbers decide whether a switch is worth it, and every app here publishes them in a help center: the first cash-out, the inactivity rule and the countries served. Read all three before uploading a single receipt, then redeem at the first threshold you are allowed to. A balance is a record in a company's database rather than money held for you, which is the lesson from the last big app in this category to close without notice, and Shopmium's North American exit is a gentler version of the same story.
