How accurate is the price comparisons?
This question should be number one question that pops-up to everyone’s head whose interested to use the app. Well, based on my wife and my own experiences using the app to do some price comparisons, at the time I checked a few days back, the price of oats is correct and matching with the supermarket price. However, the price of a watermelon is not so accurate, the actual price on the supermarket is cheaper.
So other than comparing prices, what can Diffmarts do?
Diffmarts is published as web/app that gives us price comparisons between items, however there’s hidden feature that my wife realized it during one of her search within the app, in which I don’t think even the creator realized it.
The hidden feature is by using Diffmarts, you can also find whether or not the item you are looking for available on certain supermarket or marts.
For example, you are looking for certain brand of cheese, say brand ABCD. Based on the search result given, you could see that only specific supermarket carry this ABCD cheese, so again, waste no time, don’t anyhow go to any supermarket but go to that specific supermarket to find your ABCD cheese.
Bring It All Together
With Diffmarts as your price comparisons references, you don’t need to keep switching between places just to get the best price possible. Check the item through the app or website, only when you find the price is suitable or acceptable then you go to the mart.
Another input for Diffmarts development team, the app and web could do a lot better if you guys open price submission to everyone (not only to supermarkets and big brands – since they may not cooperating with you) and based on various inputs, apply some machine learning to validate the most submitted price likely is the correct one.
