Terms of use
Effective October 17, 2026
These terms are an agreement between you and Pricemend ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using the Pricemend app or website, you agree to them. If you don't agree, don't use Pricemend.
What Pricemend does
Pricemend reads receipts you upload, compares what you paid with the price the store shows on its own website today, and tells you whether that store's published price-adjustment policy might give you money back. For stores that don't adjust prices, it can tell you when an item got cheaper while you can still return it and buy it again. It can also watch prices for you until a store's window closes, notify you when a price drops, and remind you before a price-adjustment or return window ends. Return windows come from published summaries and vary by item; check the store's rules before you return or rebuy anything.
Pricemend gives information only. Each store decides whether to give you a price adjustment. Policies, prices and store practices change, our reading of a receipt or a web page can be wrong, and stores may refuse a request we marked as likely. We don't promise you'll get any money back.
Not affiliated with the stores
Pricemend isn't affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any store it covers. Store names are used only to identify where you shopped and belong to their owners.
Your account
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- Give a real email address and keep your password private. You're responsible for activity on your account.
- You can delete your account at any time in the app under Account, Delete my account.
Plans and payment
- Free: 2 receipts and 10 in-store tag checks a month, each checked once when you add it, plus a reminder before each return window closes.
- Pro (monthly or yearly) and the Holiday Pass (one payment, through January 31) include unlimited receipts and tag checks, daily price watching with price-drop alerts, online orders logged automatically from forwarded order emails, and everything in Free. Unlimited is for personal use and subject to the fair use rules below; receipts our servers have to read (rather than your phone) are limited to 25 a month. The price is shown before you pay.
- Pro renews automatically at the end of each period at the then-current price until you cancel. Cancel any time; you keep access until the end of the period you've paid for. The Holiday Pass doesn't renew.
- Bought in the iPhone app: Apple charges your Apple ID and handles renewals, cancellations (iPhone Settings, your name, Subscriptions) and refunds under Apple's rules.
- Bought on the website: payments are processed by Stripe. Cancel under Account, Manage billing. Payments aren't refundable except where the law requires, or if we end the service early, in which case we'll refund the unused part.
- We may change prices or plans with at least 30 days' notice before a renewal at the new price.
Fair use
Use Pricemend for your own purchases. Don't upload receipts that aren't yours to use, edit receipts, ask a store for money you're not owed, use Pricemend to resell its data, or access it with bots or scripts. We may suspend accounts that break these rules.
Your receipts
You keep ownership of what you upload. You let us process it to run Pricemend for you, as described in our privacy policy.
Changes and ending the service
We may update Pricemend or these terms. If a change is significant, we'll tell you in the app or by email before it applies. We may stop offering Pricemend; if we do, we'll give notice and refund unused paid time bought on the website.
Disclaimers and limits
Pricemend is provided "as is". To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim implied warranties, and we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for a store's decision about your request. Our total liability to you is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.
Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Iowa, USA, except where the law where you live gives you rights that can't be waived.
Apple
If you got the app from Apple's App Store, Apple's standard license terms also apply. Apple isn't responsible for Pricemend or its support.
