# bettercart

> bettercart is a free grocery buddy that helps you save money on groceries. Connect the supermarkets you already use (like Walmart, Instacart, or Amazon) or just text a photo of a receipt, and bettercart compares stores, finds the same items for less, applies the deals worth grabbing, and can build the cheapest cart for you in a single tap.

## What bettercart does

- **Connect your accounts**: Link supermarkets you already use (Walmart, Instacart, Amazon) and bettercart learns your usual orders and preferences, with no manual entry.
- **See where and what to buy**: It compares every supermarket for your cart and tells you where each item is cheapest and which deals are worth grabbing.
- **Buy the usual**: Say "buy me the usual" and bettercart builds the cheapest cart, ready to check out in one tap.
- **Track your spending**: Get a proactive recap of how much you spend on groceries and where it goes.
- **Text a receipt**: No account to link? Snap any grocery receipt (paper, screenshot, or an Instacart order) and text it over.

## How it works

bettercart works over text message. You can text bettercart in the US at +1 (708) 834-7707. It only replies when you text first: no promotions, no upsells, no spam.

## Key facts

- **Price**: Free. No signup, no card, no subscription. bettercart earns money through retailer referrals, never from the user.
- **Privacy**: From a receipt photo, bettercart only reads items, quantities, and prices. Photos are deleted right after the report is sent. Address and payment info on a receipt are never stored.
- **Coverage**: bettercart checks every delivery retailer that serves your zip code, and tells you straight up if it can't beat your local price.
