OPEN/CLOSE

Bringing street art to Dundee, Open/Close is injecting life to the alleyways and forgotten corners of the city centre, working with local artists. Street art can make a city look truly amazing. We’re not talking the tagging you may be used to seeing – we’re talking about beautiful artworks which everyone can appreciate. It improves the urban environment, cleans up vandalised areas, and encourages the public to take ownership of their spaces and take pride in their city. Another bonus is that street art actually discourages vandalism and tagging, as areas with art already in place are far less likely to be targeted. With the booming creative scene in Dundee - from the Dundee Design Festival to the DCA, Generator Projects and Wasps studios, not to mention the newly opened V&A Museum of Design - we thought it was high time Dundee saw some more street art. The aim of the project is to brighten up areas which are prone to vandalism, opening them up to the public and encouraging them to explore their city and go places they may not normally go, using new and exciting routes to rediscover their city. The Open/Close app was developed in close collaboration with Open/Close Dundee and a portion of any profits made from sales of the app will go to Open/Close Dundee to help fund further activities. The app provides a way to find out more about the artists, artworks and most importantly a guide map to the locations of the Open/Close Dundee street art trails.

The Amazon Shopper Panel is an opt-in, invitation-only program where participants can earn monthly rewards by sharing receipts from purchases made outside of Amazon or completing short surveys about your opinion on brands or products that may be of interest to you. Earning rewards is easy. Simply upload eligible receipts by using the Amazon Shopper Panel app to take pictures of paper receipts or by forwarding email receipts to receipts@panel.amazon.com and you’ll earn up to $10 per month towards either an Amazon Balance or a charitable donation. You’ll earn rewards each month for every survey you complete and if you turn on ad verification on your mobile device you'll receive more, relevant surveys each month based on the ads you see from Amazon. Ads from Amazon can include Amazon’s own advertising or third-party businesses that advertise through Amazon Ads. Space is limited and you may only be eligible to participate in certain parts of the program. You can check if you are eligible by tapping on the Receipts or Surveys tabs, or by visiting Ad verification in the panel app's settings. Your participation will help brands offer better products and make Amazon ads more relevant. Participation in the Amazon Shopper Panel is voluntary and panelists can stop using the app, sharing receipts, answering survey questions, or enabling ad verification at any time. The Amazon Shopper Panel is available to a limited number of Amazon customers who are 18 years of age or over and in the US. If you received an invitation, download the app now. Interested customers who did not receive an invitation can download the app to join the waitlist and will be notified via email if space becomes available.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Amazon Shopper Panel at every 3 weeks against OPEN/CLOSE's every 7 months. Amazon Shopper Panel also leads on iOS requirement (14 vs 18.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
