Retailer apps only ever show you their own store. TLOTLO is different: it is independent, built by shoppers for shoppers, and it follows your spending across every store you use. For a family stretching a small income to the end of the month, knowing where the same item costs less is real money.
A live basket at the till
Scan an item as it goes into the trolley and TLOTLO adds it to your basket with a running total. Change your mind, scan it again and it comes out. You reach the till knowing exactly what you will pay, with no surprises and no putting things back in front of the queue.
Every shopper a price scout
With Capture, shoppers submit the real prices they see on the shelf. Each one is checked before it joins the catalogue, so the prices everyone sees can be trusted. The more families share, the clearer it becomes which store has the cheaper bread, oil or nappies this week.
- Submit 100 real prices in a month through Capture and that month's subscription is on us: Ubuntu in action.
- Every account starts with 90 days of full access, free.
- Past trips are saved, and a shopping list can be planned ahead and sent to another family member.
Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu: a person is a person through other people. When one family shares a price, every family saves.
From a diary to savings
Matrix turns your scan history into savings insights: where your money went, and where the same basket would have cost less. Its recommendations unlock only once there is enough real history to make them honest.
Part of the MAD family
