## What is ShelfSense?

ShelfSense turns every grocery receipt into price 
intelligence that works for you.

Scan a receipt in seconds. ShelfSense's AI reads it, 
extracts every item, and builds your personal price 
history across every store you shop at — automatically.

NEVER OVERPAY AGAIN
See exactly which store charges less for the items 
you buy every week. Chicken at Costco vs HEB. Milk 
at Walmart vs Whole Foods. ShelfSense finds the 
savings and shows you where to buy next time.

KNOW WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES
Track spending by store, by category, and by month. 
Set a monthly budget and see whether you're on track 
with a glance. ShelfSense predicts your month-end 
total so there are no surprises.

SMART RECEIPT SCANNING
Powered by AI, ShelfSense reads receipts from any 
grocery store — HEB, Costco, Walmart, Target, Whole 
Foods, and more. Items are automatically categorized 
(Produce, Dairy, Household, and more) so your 
spending breakdown is always accurate.

PRICE ALERTS
ShelfSense watches for price increases on items you 
buy regularly. When something costs significantly 
more than last time, you'll know before you buy 
it again.

COMPLETELY FREE & PRIVATE
No subscription. No account. No credit card. 
No personal information required — ever. Your 
receipt data stays on your device and is never
