A Smarter Way to Shop

A consumer Product & Price Comparison Service has launched in Ireland that specifically offers consumer product and price comparisons to help online and mobile shoppers find the right product at the right price.

Pricespy.ie compares prices and product information on more than 111,000 consumer products from almost 400 Irish online shops, as well as thousands of international shopping sites that ship to Ireland.

Lorna Barker, senior marketing manager for PriceSpy in Ireland and the UK, said, “Irish people love a good deal, and the success of other online comparison sites really backs this up. Already, Irish shoppers are well used to comparing flights, insurance, utilities and financial services online. While consumer goods price comparison websites have been used for years by savvy online shoppers around the world, until now, a truly effective service has not been available in Ireland. PriceSpy is here to change that with the most comprehensive pricing and product comparison information available in the market, helping shoppers easily find the right product, from the right shop at the right price – effectively enabling something we simply call shopping intelligence.”

Infinite Search Refinement Possibilities

What makes PriceSpy work is the quality and accuracy of the data it holds. The rich search and filtering tools mean shoppers can ‘PriceSpy’ what they’re looking for at a very detailed level. For example, they could specify the weight, size and colour of a laptop, and get served results leading to the best prices available among the shops listed, specifically against those choice parameters.

Another key aspect of PriceSpy is the independent approach it takes to serving up search results, and the full transparency it provides to the end user. According to Barker, “We source prices directly from the retailers and update the data several times a day so that we’re listing the most accurate and up to date information possible. What is most important is that our listings are presented in a ‘lowest price first’ order. With PriceSpy there is no way for retailers to ‘pay their way’ to the top of our listings, so our users can be 100% confident we are providing them with the fairest price comparisons available at all times.

“Our goal is to become the most trusted source of comparison information and opinion on consumer products, and our hope is that when someone is shopping for a product their first port of call will be to ‘PriceSpy it’, just as people ‘Google it’ when looking for general information, or ‘Hailo it’ when they need a taxi!”

This is a free service, and is available across both Android and iOS platforms.
