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.
