Angie’s List, Yelp, Merchant Circle…the list goes on. Sure, there are plenty of places to find service providers online, complete with reviews and ratings. So why would we need yet another site in this seemingly crowded field?
Because what makes Green Piranhas unique, also sets it apart from the competition. Credibility, proof, documentation, call it what you’d like, it all comes in the form of one simple document, an invoice!
All reviews and ratings found at Green Piranhas are backed by an actual customer invoice. Not only does this provide proof that the service was performed, it provides a rich level of detail on price and terms of service, backed up by a credible consumer review. This provides an openness and transparency unavailable in today’s market.
Green Piranhas focuses on three main categories- home, auto, and healthcare- because these are big-ticket expenses where the disparity between expected and final pricing is most often the greatest. This compelling combination of information will empower you as a consumer, and help you to select and effectively negotiate with service providers, based not only on their pricing, but on their reputation and rating within the community.
Green Piranhas’ easy-to-use desktop and mobile interface allows you to upload documents and rate a vendor, wherever you might be, as well as search for exact pricing information when you need it most:

Green Piranhas is a valuable next step in the evolution of what is known as “The Collaborative (or Sharing) Economy.” Just as Uber provides a platform to source excess taxi/car capacity to the benefit of all, Green Piranhas allows consumers to share and access pricing information that we all have but there is no mechanism to make it available to the community.
Many of us have invoices and receipts that are locked up in files or even sometimes thrown away. Now consumers will be able to re-cycle that information into the economy and band together to help each other by refuting the false information that we all know is too prevalent in today’s market. Green Piranhas is a tool that allows the sharing of these informational resources to the benefit of all consumers and businesses. Plus, besides helping your friends and neighbors by contributing to Green Piranhas, you earn points towards leading-brand gift cards with every document uploaded.
So, how do you become part of this growing and exciting community? First, simply begin to keep many of the receipts and invoices that you might already be throwing away or burying in file cabinets. Register with Green Piranhas and follow the directions to remove all personal information, and then snap an image with your mobile phone or a desktop scanner. You are now a Contributor to the newest and most important community today!
NOTE: At this time we are only making invoices searchable, but your receipts are very important also as they help us learn about pricing trends in your community, and you can earn points toward gift cards.
