Claimly vs Warranty Keeper: Which Warranty Tracker Wins?

Getting purchases in: scanning vs typing

The biggest difference shows up the moment you add a purchase. In Claimly, you scan the receipt and AI fills in the store, purchase date, product and amount. You check the fields, add the warranty length, and save. That matters if you plan to log more than a few purchases.

Warranty Keeper keeps the flow simple: add an item, then capture the proof of purchase with your phone’s camera. Its listing and website describe storing the receipt image, but neither mentions reading the text on it, so the item name, dates and other details are yours to type. For a few big purchases a year, that’s no hardship. For everything with a warranty in your house, it adds up.

One honest caveat for Claimly: the AI scan needs an internet connection. Browsing your items, checking warranty status and opening attachments do not.

Several warranties on one product

A new laptop can easily carry three clocks at once: the store’s return or warranty period, the manufacturer’s warranty, and an extended protection plan you paid for. Claimly tracks each of those separately on the same product, with its own status (active, expiring soon or expired) and reminders.

Warranty Keeper lets you attach several receipts to each item and sends a notification before a warranty is about to expire (its website says 30 days before). Its listing doesn’t mention separate warranties per product. If your purchases usually come with a single manufacturer warranty, you won’t miss it. If you buy extended plans, it is the feature that decides the comparison.

Where your data lives: cloud account vs your phone

Here the apps are opposites, and neither is wrong. Warranty Keeper asks you to sign up with email or Google, then stores and backs up every item and receipt in the cloud. The upside is real: change or lose your phone, sign in, and everything is still there. It also means your purchase history sits on its servers.

Claimly needs no account. Your records stay on your phone, and instead of syncing to a cloud, the app backs everything up to a single .zip file you can restore on a new phone. That suits people who’d rather not hand over an email address to log a toaster, and it means the app keeps working without a signal. The cost is that keeping a backup is on you, and there is no syncing between two devices.

Price, ads and platforms

Warranty Keeper wins this section clearly. Its listing says it is 100% free with an unlimited number of items, and Google Play shows no ads and no in-app purchases. It is also available on iPhone, according to its official site, so a mixed Android and iPhone household can use it.

Claimly is free to download, but it shows ads and sells in-app purchases ($2.99–$24.99 per item on Google Play), and it is Android-only. Its free plan stops at 15 products and 5 AI scans a month; Premium, a monthly or yearly subscription, removes the limits and the ads. It is also brand new, with 10+ installs and no public rating yet, against Warranty Keeper’s 10,000+ installs and 4.3 stars from 334 ratings.

The trade-off comes down to this: Warranty Keeper gives you free cloud storage on both platforms with no ads; Claimly gives you AI scanning, layered warranties and no account. For a wider look at the category, see our guide to the best warranty tracker apps for Android.
