You don't have to spend more — you just have to spend aware. DollarVote shows you verified local businesses near you and tracks exactly how much of your spending stays in your community.
Open the map and instantly see verified local businesses near you, each with an independent DollarVote score — no greenwashing, no guessing.
Pick the spots whose values match yours. The app shows how much of every $10 stays local before you even walk in.
Your dashboard tracks how much you've kept in your community this month — and how you compare to the chain-store average.
"I wasn't spending a dollar more. I just swapped my chain coffee and grocery runs for verified local spots the app showed me. In one month it told me I'd kept $284 inside Detroit — money that used to vanish to headquarters two states away."
"Forty of us started using DollarVote to find businesses that pay living wages. Within a season, two shops we championed hired locally and a third opened. We could literally watch our dollars build the block — the urgency hit when we saw what we'd been funding by accident."
