How to track what you spend on Swiggy, Zomato and grocery apps

Updated

The most accurate record of what you spend on Swiggy, Zomato, Zepto, Blinkit and Instamart is your order history in each app, because every order there has its exact amount and receipt. DineProfile adds up that order history for you. Connect each app with the code the app texts you, and DineProfile totals every order back to your oldest order, by app, by year and by month, on any phone or computer. Bank statements and expense apps see only your payments, and a spreadsheet needs every order typed in by hand.

Ways to track delivery app spending, compared

Your order history in each app

Each app lists your past orders with the amount you paid for each order. None of the five apps adds the orders up, so a total means opening every order and keeping a running sum, app by app.

Bank statements and UPI apps

A bank or UPI statement lists your payments to each app. A payment line doesn’t say what you ordered or how much went on fees, and Instamart payments often show under Swiggy’s name, next to your food orders. Orders paid with cash on delivery, a wallet or another card don’t show at all.

Expense apps that read your SMS or email

Expense tracking apps that read your bank SMS or your email receipts work from the same payments as a bank statement. They show amounts without the dishes or the fees, and they need access to your SMS inbox or your email.

A spreadsheet

A spreadsheet is free and as accurate as what you type in. You copy every order from every app by hand, and you add each new order yourself.

Browser extensions

Spending extensions run in Chrome on a computer and read the orders page on each app’s website. Chrome on Android phones and iPhones doesn’t run extensions, most extensions cover only some of the five apps, and Zomato’s website no longer lists your orders, so extensions can’t add up your Zomato orders.

DineProfile

DineProfile reads your orders from all five apps, in any browser on a phone or a computer, and adds up every amount from your receipts. DineProfile doesn’t need your email or your SMS inbox. The free report counts your orders before you pay, and the full report in DineProfile Plus adds up what you spent.

What DineProfile tracks

Keeping your total current

Your report covers the orders placed up to the time DineProfile read each app. With DineProfile Plus, DineProfile adds the orders you’ve placed since DineProfile last read each app, every hour.

Do expense apps show what I spend on Swiggy and Zomato?

Expense apps that read your bank SMS or your email see your payments to Swiggy and Zomato. A payment doesn’t list the dishes or the fees, and payments made with cash on delivery or a wallet may not show.
