Both collect your receipts. Fetch turns them into points, and Smartbills keeps them as records you can use: split with friends, return a purchase, claim a warranty or support a tax deduction.
At a glance
Fetch is a rewards app. You scan paper receipts or connect an email inbox for digital ones, earn points on what you bought, and redeem them for gift cards. Brands and retailers pay to reach shoppers through it, which is what funds the points.
