Since the dawn of online shopping, comparison shopping has never been easier. You can go from site to site to check out products, compare prices and features, and weigh your options between items. Well, a lot has changed since the early days of online shopping, specifically in terms of how easily you could do it now. There are a lot of browser applications (or apps, as they are more popularly known) available to make online comparison shopping much easier for you. We checked out some of these apps, namely My Shopping Genie, iDoodah, and InvisibleHand.
These online shopping apps are designed to help you from spending too much time and money when doing your shopping on the internet. They basically do the same thing: do the scouring for you to get the best deals and lowest prices.
My Shopping Genie. It’s a free online shopping application from MyNet Universe. It’s easy enough to use: just download the MyShoppingGenie, install to your PC, and you can start comparison shopping. It works in the background, so you don’t notice it until you search for an item or product online. It’ll show you the best deals from trusted e-commerce retailers and show you deals and coupons related to the product you’re looking for. You can fine tune your search down to a local level so you can check out stores and shops in your area as well. Unlike other online shopping apps, you can use My Shopping Genie with any search engine (Yahoo, Bing, or Google) you don’t have to change any of your search habits to use it.
iDoodah. Like My Shopping Genie, iDoodah lets you in on the best deals available from top e-commerce stores including Shopping.com, eBay, Amazon, Buy.com, Bizrate, Yahoo, and Bing. You can get it as a toolbar or just go to its site to search for the products you’re in the market for. It’s available in different languages, though you may find that the search seems to be limited the sites mentioned above.
InvisibleHand. This browser extension (available for browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer) features discreet notifications of a better deal for products and flights. This should be useful if you frequently shop online and find cheap flights online too. The notification shows up on a small bar on top of your search page to notify you of cheaper or better deals.
Whichever online shopping app you choose, you should be able to save time and money when buying the things you want. My Shopping Genie, however, takes a step further to offer you business-minded folk to earn extra for distributing the app. You can earn via affiliate commissions, pay-per-offer, and pay-per-click so check it out if you’re interested in the business
