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 rating: Amazon Shopper Panel at 4.9 against HP Elite Earbuds's 3.0. Amazon Shopper Panel also leads on ratings volume (180K vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). HP Elite Earbuds's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Amazon Shopper Panel holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Amazon Shopper Panel has 180K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Amazon Shopper Panel's written reviews are positive against 50% of HP Elite Earbuds's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Amazon Shopper Panel ships an update every 3 weeks, HP Elite Earbuds every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
