Kudos

Kudos is a consumer credit-card rewards and smart-shopping assistant operated by Kudos Technologies, Inc., founded in 2021 by Tikue Anazodo and Ahmad Ismail. Its browser extension and iOS/Android apps sit at online checkout and recommend which of a shopper's connected cards to use to maximize points, cash back, and card benefits. Kudos Boost pays cashback at 15,000+ stores, redeemable as Amazon gift cards or PayPal cash, and the product bundles free credit-score access, a wallet and credit-management hub, a best-card cheatsheet, weekly insights scores, a Dream Wallet planner, and an Explore card-comparison and Test Drive tool. Kudos is backed by QED Investors. As of July 2026 Kudos publishes no public developer API, developer portal, OpenAPI specification, or SDKs; its only machine-readable public surface is mobile app-association metadata at app.joinkudos.com.

Kudos is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Credit, Credit Cards, Rewards, and Cashback.

Kudos’ developer surface includes support, engineering blog, signup flow, and 6 more developer resources.
