GasBuddy

There’s nothing more devastating than paying for gas at one station then driving three blocks to see drastically lower prices at another. But driving around to compare prices wastes the exact money you were trying to save. GasBuddy compares gas prices of all nearby gas stations, and even shows you gas price patterns.

ShopSavvy

It’s tempting to buy an item when it’s literally in your hand (along with your credit card) and you don’t know when or if you’ll find it again. But stop right there; ShopSavvy lets users take a snapshot of an item or enter a barcode, then pulls up all online vendors offering the same item, along with their prices.

BillTracker

This easy-to-use app gives users a clear glance at all outstanding, upcoming and past bills. It incorporates helpful reminder systems when it’s near time to pay a bill, and stores full payment histories.

Pageonce

Pageonce allows users to link all of their online payment accounts, then formats the information in a clear, standardized way. The best part is the intuitive navigation system that offers up the next logical screen and within a few taps shows you expenditures and deposits.

Expensify

Business travelers in particular benefit from this app, which simplifies expense reports. Users simply scan receipts or import web-based credit card transactions and Expensify creates a clear expense report that you can then edit and customize.

Never again pay too much for produce, or buy something that you already had 10 of at home. Grocery Gadget lets you save lists from multiple markets, keeps track of product prices and stores receipts. It even takes note of the order in which you cross off items from your list, and will organize future lists to match your shopping habits.
