Hi, I'm trying to buy a Tablet. One hack that I use to buy electronics at a deal is to search the price of the product across shopping websites in different countries and buy from the cheapest option. Somtimes thy deliver to my country, and if they don't deliver, I will try to get through some friends who are travelling there or living there. I have international friends in almost all majors countries.

Long story short: I find having to go through all these websites a little tedious. Is there any single website that let's us do this?

The countries that I'm interested in are: GCC, Europen Union, Norway, Switzerland and UK, US and Canada.

Thank for any suggestions.

Hi friends, do you have any recommendations for websites that will automatically do price comparisons across companies for generic items? I'm thinking kind of like Basket for groceries, except for (in this case) office supplies. I can got to walmart's/amazon's/office depot's websites individually, but I'm hoping there's a faster way

I built an AI Best Deal Finder.

The AI checks online marketplaces (Amazon & eBay) for the best deal on any product and tells you where to get it at a cheaper price.

This is a time saver for anyone who compares prices across marketplaces like me; no more manual price comparison and multiple browser tabs.

Hey everyone! I’ve been working on a site called CompareNook, which helps U.S. shoppers compare prices across Amazon, Walmart, and eBay. The goal is to make it easier to find the best deals and save time while shopping.

I’d love to hear your feedback on the site or any suggestions for improvement. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Here’s the link: CompareNook

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone!

I'm a digital product designer (previously a web dev from 2015-2018) who has been super excited with how AI has enabled me to start building things!

What I want to share today is my price comparison site, PricePilot, which would not have been possible without Cursor and Claude Sonnet 3.5.

My goal? Make it dead simple for people to compare the prices of retail products across US retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, eBay, Newegg, Walmart and more, by ensuring a full-service shopping experience for the people.

To me, a full-service shopping experience means allowing people to easily search for products, compare them side-by-side, and then compare retailer prices. In the future, we hope to introduce a useful conversational AI shopping experience (think Amazon's Rufus, but hopefully better).

It's still early days as I only launched it in January and I’d love for some fellow builders to check it out and tell me what they think. The good, the bad, the ugly.

Also, if you've ever tried building something similar, I'd also love to hear about your experience.

Would appreciate any thoughts, feedback, or even just a quick test run! Here’s the link: https://trypricepilot.com

Thanks, and happy building! ✌️

I googled it but couldn't decide which one is the best ? would you please recommend me the most useful, dependable price comparison websites ? thank you

What people fail to mention is price comparison website, like Portugal's kuantokusta.pt (it does include amazon but you can choose to not buy from there)
They are the most real alternative to amazon, since it will find the best prices. Google Products search also does this a bit. You can then choose to buy from a european store, and most likely cheaper than amazon :)

When you find something on amazon, you can also check the seller name and if it's not Amazon, you can buy from the seller store directly. Especially Brands! Plus you get better support without a "middle man".
You'll not only be buying from EU store, but hopefully from a national store :)

Shopping online always left me with the feeling, I might pay too much for the same product as a result of being spammed by google ads, SEO and the likes. At the same time, I have spoken to 50+ online shoppers about their experience with price comparison sites and this is their feedback:

1. Not all products and shops are listed on price comparison sites.

2. Prices are often outdated. In fact, it turned out that e.g. the 10th best offer on a price comparison site is actually the cheapest.

3. Users have to manually check whether the better offer is exactly the same product variant as the sought-after product. This is extremely time consuming when checking for technical specs of e.g. a gaming PC.

I have just finished my PhD in AI and that is why I decided to solve these problems.

The price search is live under the link: https://josepha.io/en
It works for the currency areas USD, CHF and EUR.

It works with the following two steps:
- First, insert the product URL of a product you are about to buy
- Second, insert the email. The results will be sent to you via email, after the search was processed.

After you submit the product URL, it searches the entire web and determines which other shops offer the exact same product.

Some statistics up until now:
- Savings found: €29'264.01

- Total Search volume: € 297'424.49

- 50% of all single searches save more than € 6.07

I would greatly appreciate if you give it a try and comment with feedback.

Introduction

Hey everyone! 👋 I’ve been working on a comprehensive shopping experience in the form of a price comparison platform called PricePilot.

It's been designed to help shoppers discover products efficiently, compare product information side-by-side, and then help compare prices across multiple retailers. As a solo founder, I wanted to share my journey, the challenges I faced, and the tech stack I used.

BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER: To be transparent as my post is catching the ire of some users, the total time spent on the frontend is at about ~80hrs or so. The 32 hours I had added in the post title was seeing how fast I could go live with a basic ecommerce frontend which included a search experience, product listings and details page, and full responsiveness.

Pain Points That Led to PricePilot

Shopping online should be simple, but:

• Finding the best price often means opening multiple tabs and checking different retailers manually.

• Many comparison sites feel outdated, cluttered, or don’t include key product details and features.

• Many platforms prioritize affiliate revenue over a clean UX

I wanted to build something better—fast, user-friendly, and helpful.

How PricePilot Solves These Issues

✅ Clear, simple UI and lightning-fast search designed for usability
✅ Side-by-side product information comparisons to help you easily compare the differences in price, ratings, and specifications
✅ Side-by-side price comparisons across multiple retailers so you don't have to find the product on each site

Note: For the moment, we only show US retailers but plan to expand to Canada and perhaps elsewhere once we get everything figured out for the US audience.

Tech Stack

💻 Frontend: Vercel + Next.js + Typescript + Tailwind CSS + Typesense (Search)
🛠 Backend: Supabase, Python+Playwright+BS4 for web scraping, Node for getting info from APIs and product feeds

Would Love Your Thoughts!

I’m actively working on improving search, filtering, and UX optimizations. Additionally working on getting many more products for you to shop for. If you’re interested in price comparison tools, I’d love your feedback! 🙌

💬 Let me know what you think!

Let's say I want to buy an item, a TV as an example, without a brand or specific model in mind. Is there a software or a site perhaps, that could let me browse TVs and let me find a model that I'm interested in and find the best price across all or most sites?

The goal here is that I don't have to search on every site to find out if I have the best deal possible.

Thanks!

I have been searching grocery and personal care prices item by item to compare Kroger to Meijer (this are my only real options). Has anyone found a quicker way they would be willing to share? I could go to Aldi as well. I have looked at some apps to download but most seem pretty sketchy about info gathering or what they actually do. Having to keep typing to meet the 300 character limit so please pardon the run on sentence.

Hey everyone! I've been working on a running shoe price comparison website that I'd love for you to check out and provide some feedback on. You can search for running shoes and filter by size, width, and gender. There's also a deals page featuring all the shoes currently on sale.

I'm planning to add more features to the site:

• Price alerts and out-of-stock notifications

• Support for more countries (UK?)

• Additional filters (such as drop, cushion, weight, etc.)

If there's anything else you'd like to see added, please let me know.

Hey everyone,

My name is Ivan, and I'm building a price comparison site that will make it easier for you to shop for and find the best deals/prices on Smart Home products. The plan is to deliver the MVP for use around June 2024 and will operate exclusively for the US market only.

When it comes to price comparison sites, there are some top dogs like Honey and Google Shopping. However, while they allow you to compare retailer prices side-by-side, they don't allow you to compare product specifications/information side-by-side, which I believe is super important and useful when evaluating similar products to find some key similarities and/or differences.

Now I decided to make a price comparison site for Smart Home products because I'm currently looking to start buying Smart Home products for myself, and I figured I could make it easier for myself and others to shop for Smart Home products at the same time.

Now I'm honestly super excited and can't wait to release the MVP in a few months. As a preliminary roadmap, once the MVP has gone live, I'm looking to build out other key foundational features like Price Drop and Price History, after which I plan to layer in conversational AI to act as your personal shopping assistant.

Bye for now,Ivan

Hey there everyone, I'm working in the marketing department of a sports equipment brand and I am looking for an in depth price comparison tool that would allow me to check the prices of an item across multiple retailers across several countries. I have tried google shopping and other tools like it but I am looking for something that is meant more for business analysis and less for the consumer. Thank you!

Hello, i would like to ask you which are the best websites in Germany that compare prices from every online website that offering consumer electronics. For example in Greece that, i am from, we have 2 websites bestprice.gr & bestprice.gr that business owners are adding their businesses and you can compare prices from small retail shops and find the best price.

This is an example from Best Price: https://www.bestprice.gr/item/2159404542/apple-macbook-air-13-2024.html

Do you have something like this in German? If yes can you provide me those websites? I know that Amazon.de is a leader in the market. Furthermore, can you provide me some famous websites with Laptops?

what websites and or extensions do you guys use to compare prices?

i like camelcamelcamel but it's amazon only, i want to see more options if they are out there

Like many of us, I've had my share of those frustrating moments when I've found out I've paid more for something I bought online than I could have elsewhere, Problem is, I'm also too lazy to scour dozens of websites for the best deal...

so I decided to do something about it. I sat down one evening, fueled by this frustration (and a healthy amount of coffee), and started to code. Started out just for me - a tool to stop me from overpaying and help me snag a price match at JB.

Turned out to be pretty handy, so I spent another month giving it a facelift and adding a ton more products and stores, from Amazon and eBay, to JB Hi-Fi, Myer, Coles, Woolies, and thousands more.

Feel free to give it a spin and let me know what you reckon:

Wow, I honestly didn't see this coming! The traffic this morning has been... well, let's just say my poor server wasn't prepared for this party...
My apologies if you've tried to access the site and found it down.

I've just given the server an upgrade, so it should be much better prepared to handle the crowd now. Fingers crossed, it'll hold up this time!

Hey everyone,

I'm thinking of developing a Price Comparison Website, and I'm curious about the technical aspects behind these platforms. Do price comparison websites typically gather data by scraping eCommerce stores, or do they rely on APIs?
