📝 Important notes on exclusive features:

Price Comparison: SmartCart keeps a price history for EVERY product. When you buy again, it shows if the price went up or down, by how much ($ and %), and the total you paid more/less.
Digital Receipt: Upon finishing your purchase, SmartCart generates a digital receipt with your list and prices. You can compare it with the real store receipt to detect errors or overcharges. NO ONE else offers this.
Various Expenses: Besides the supermarket, control ALL your monthly expenses: car oil ($98), school tuition ($250), etc. They are added to the total monthly budget.
App that Learns: When you add a product for the first time, SmartCart intelligently assigns a category. If it misses, you correct it or create a new one. You also choose which stores you buy it from. SmartCart LEARNS and never asks again.
7 Languages Offline: Spanish, English, Italian, French, German, Portuguese, and Chinese are PRE-INSTALLED on your device. You don't need internet to change language. Other apps require connection.
Listonic: Users report invasive advertising that redirects to external shopping apps. May stop working if connection fails. Many request sub-lists.
Bring: Totally free but has NO price control, budgets, or statistics. Very visual but limited features.
AnyList: Excellent for meal planning but focused on iOS (Android experience inferior). Web is premium only. Can seem cluttered.
OurGroceries: DOES NOT have price function (highly requested by users). Basic but effective. Moderate ads.
