Fetch Rewards vs Receipt Hog
Two popular receipt-scanning apps. Both monetize aggregate shopping data the same way: you scan receipts, they sell anonymized purchase patterns to brands and retailers. The earnings rate, cashout flexibility, and brand-partner bonuses differ.

Who wins for...
Winner: Fetch Rewards
A typical grocery shopper earns $5-$25/month on Fetch vs $3-$20/month on Receipt Hog. Fetch's brand-partner bonuses (Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Frito-Lay multi-receipt rewards) push higher for households that already buy those brands.
Winner: Fetch Rewards
Fetch has a $3 minimum cashout vs Receipt Hog's $5. Fetch pays via PayPal, Venmo, Amazon, and Visa gift cards — broader payout flexibility. Receipt Hog mainly pays via PayPal and Amazon gift cards.
Winner: Receipt Hog
Receipt Hog is more accepting of retail receipts from non-grocery stores (Target, Walmart's non-food, dollar stores, gas stations). Fetch is more grocery-focused. For households with mixed retail spending, Receipt Hog captures more receipts.
Winner: Both (run together)
These apps don't conflict — you can scan the same grocery receipt to both Fetch and Receipt Hog (and add CoinOut for triple credit). The total earning rate from running both on every receipt is roughly $15-$40/month for an average grocery household.
