Budget Saving Apps II: Price Comparison Apps

Your Mobile Life featured a fantastic blog post a few months ago that was very popular.  Why?  Because it gave a list of awesome Budget Saving Apps of course. So here are a few more helpful budget saving apps that can help you search for products for cheaper and discounted prices online - while you shop in stores!

RedLaser Application

 RedLaser, available Android, Apple, and Windows phones for free, allows customers to scan the barcode of a product, search online and locally for the same product, and buy it for a discounted price.  Not only does RedLaser allow you to search for and research products, it also tells you if the product is in stock, how far away it is, and what store carries it.

Amazon Price Check Application

Amazon Price Check is available for Apple and Android smartphones for free.  It was stated by Forbes that Amazon Price Check may be evil, but it is the new competition for the traditional brick-and-mortar stores.  Amazon's new app allows customers to shop in retail stores, scan barcodes, take a picture of the product, or speak the products name, and compare prices directly to Amazon.  They can then participate in the one-click purchase option and it's done.

Google Shopper Application

Google Shopper allows customers to speak the products name, scan the barcode, or take a picture of the product.  Google Shopper functions much like RedLaser in the way that it compares prices locally and online to ensure that you are getting the best price.  Google Wallet is implemented in their Google Shopper app to make purchasing quick and easy!


Though these apps may be a sore spot for traditional stores, it gives consumers more options and ensures the best price.  What do you use for price comparison and mobile shopping?
