PriceSpy

Online shopping may be popular but sometimes there are just too many options. Do you shop local or go for the big-name retailer? Are you really getting the best deal possible when you include shipping? And maybe you’re missing out on a special deal or two because you simply don’t know where to look?

This is where PriceSpy comes in. The app and website was recently launched in Ireland, offering a price-comparison service to shoppers here. Search for what you want and PriceSpy will present you with the options along with links. Prices are checked regularly by the PriceSpy team to make sure that they are the most up to date. If you are shopping in a real-world store and want to check a price online, you can use the barcode scanner in the app to immediately do a price comparison online.

And you can go straight to the online stores to buy the product there and then, or set up alerts to notify you if the price of a particular product changes. It’s like having your own personal shopper on tap.
