Receipts, put to work

Your receipts, in order.

Kacha reads and files the receipts you already get: organized spending for shoppers, tidy books for businesses and accountants, and honest sales insight for the people who make and sell what East Africa buys.

Free on Android and iPhone · Every receipt verified · Points paid out as airtime

The Kacha app showing a scanned receipt: the merchant, the items bought, the total spent and the points earned.

What Kacha is

Snap a receipt. Kacha does the rest.

“Kacha” is Swahili for take a picture. That one photo is read, checked and put to work for whoever needs it.

  1. Snap it

    Photograph any receipt, or scan the QR code printed on it. Long receipts can be shot in sections.

  2. We read it

    Kacha picks out the merchant, the date, every item and the total — no typing.

  3. We check it

    Every receipt is verified as genuine and checked against what you’ve already scanned, so duplicates never slip through.

  4. It goes to work

    Points for a shopper, an approved expense for a business, a filing-ready line for an accountant, anonymous purchase data for a brand.

For shoppers

Stop losing track of your receipts.

Scanning takes seconds. Kacha reads and files every receipt, and adds a few Kacha Points as a thank-you.

  • A few points as a thank-you

    Valid scans add Kacha Points, with small extras for keeping a streak and for receipts we’ve verified.

  • Use points for airtime

    Points can go toward airtime sent straight to your phone, where it is available.

  • Price Check

    See what a product typically costs near you, so you know when a price is fair rather than just cheap.

  • Know where it goes

    Set a monthly budget and watch your spending by category, with M-Pesa payments captured alongside receipts.

  • Friends and streaks

    Invite a friend and you both earn bonus points once they are scanning regularly.

  • Try before you sign up

    Scan your first receipts as a guest and see how it works. Your points are waiting when you create an account.

Trust

Your receipts, handled with care.

A receipt says a lot about a person. Kacha is built so it only ever does the job you scanned it for.

  • Business stays separate

    A business’s receipts never count towards shopper points, price checks or what manufacturers see. Work and personal accounts are separate logins.

  • Brands see patterns, not people

    Suppliers and manufacturers see purchases added up across shoppers. They never see names, phone numbers or accounts.

  • Checked, not trusted blindly

    Receipts are verified for authenticity, and duplicate or suspicious scans are caught before points are paid.

  • You can leave

    Delete your account from inside the app whenever you like. Read our privacy policy for exactly what that removes.

Questions

Good to know

Do I need to be a business to use Kacha?
No. The app is for anyone who shops. Businesses, accountants and suppliers use Kacha through their own accounts, built for their work.
Which receipts work?
Any printed or digital receipt you can photograph. Receipts with a KRA eTIMS QR code or invoice number are also checked against KRA and show as verified.
How do points work?
Each valid receipt earns points, up to a daily limit, with bonuses for streaks and verified receipts. The app always shows exactly what a scan earned and why.
Can I use my personal Kacha account for my business?
Business accounts are separate, with their own login — so personal receipts and points never mix with the company’s books. Create the business account with a work email.
Where does Kacha work?
Kacha is built for East Africa and works with the fiscal receipts and mobile-money services used in each market. Features such as tax-authority receipt checks and mobile-money capture are enabled market by market.
Who can see my receipts?
You do. Suppliers only ever see aggregated purchases with no personal details, and a business’s receipts are visible only to that business and the accountant it chooses to link.
