    Recurring monthly subscription cost seems quite high for what it is.

    • Associatedold-hunter @ OZ Pricemate on 14/05/2025 - 10:24

      Thanks for the response :) There is a yearly plan comes down to $2.5 a month. For sure I am open to any feedback from the community.

    This pricing strategy will never work! Be generous first and collect your change after a year

    • Associatedold-hunter @ OZ Pricemate on 14/05/2025 - 10:50

      Yep thanks for the feedback! Thats why we decided to post a deal here😊

    Monthly fee is too high. You'll probably get much more users if monthly fee is <$1

    • Associatedold-hunter @ OZ Pricemate on 14/05/2025 - 10:51

      Thanks for the feedback. We will look into all comments here

  • High on 14/05/2025 - 10:41

    PriceHipster used to provide this service, then they removed Coles and Woolies from their service. I suspect they may have had legal issues with those companies? Let's see how you guys do :)

    • Associatedold-hunter @ OZ Pricemate on 14/05/2025 - 10:49

      Hopefully not the case:( there are some competitors app running well so we assume there is no legal issue….

    • OZBMate8911 on 14/05/2025 - 20:39

      Their explanation was that Woolworths put anti scraping protection in place.

      hotprices.org seems to get around it just fine

      Coles has been an issue for both though

  • valkeris on 14/05/2025 - 10:47

    Aldi now publish all the prices in store on their website. Assume you are scraping woolies and Coles you should be able to scrape Aldi too.

    • Associatedold-hunter @ OZ Pricemate on 14/05/2025 - 10:51

      Yes thats right! And ALDI has much less items so we are expecting to include aldi prices in few weeks

  • HansW on 14/05/2025 - 10:47

    Great well polished app. Will trial the month and see how I go 🙂

  • littlesoldier on 14/05/2025 - 10:48

    A few of similar apps have been pop up in OZB years ago but all didnt survive
    the only one I am using now is Half Price, free and pretty handy

    • Associatedold-hunter @ OZ Pricemate on 14/05/2025 - 10:54

      Yes I like using half price as well until I think I need more features…hope you can download and have a try on our app! Even without the membership, it serves many features

  • internet-stranger on 14/05/2025 - 10:52

    Looks interesting.
    Would be good if you could add “Coles Plus Saver” and “Everyday Rewards” 10% off options.
    E.g. if I look at Cole’s vs Woolies but have a 10% off shop then show that in the discounted price.

    Also possible to add aldi and/or amazon?

    I personally will track our staple items and buy in bulk when they go on sale. Amazon is obviously the easiest to do this as I need to even leave the shops

    • Associatedold-hunter @ OZ Pricemate on 14/05/2025 - 10:59

      ALDI is on the way! Amazon will look into this option.
      For the 10% off, are they on top of existing discount? Like 50% off item becomes 60% off? The website is very confusing😂

      • internet-stranger on 14/05/2025 - 16:26

        Coles and Woolworths both have a “10% off your total shop”. So it’s 10% off the checkout value.

        So your example of a 50% item it would be:
        50% off $10 down to $5.
        With extra 10% off $5
        Leaving $4.50 actual cost.

        • Associatedold-hunter @ OZ Pricemate on 14/05/2025 - 16:46

          Thanks for the explanation!

  • tranmerlance on 14/05/2025 - 11:02

    Fee needs to be <$1 for all the ozbargain tightarses!

    • Associatedold-hunter @ OZ Pricemate on 14/05/2025 - 11:21

      haha well received. Just wondering if adding some banner ad is okay..since we need to cover a bit of the server costs

      • Haulien on 16/05/2025 - 11:40

        Ads along with a membership cost is a hard pill to swallow. It's either or - the entire point of a subscription is to support the dev without a need for ads.

        I'm not going to suggest a price - low as possible obviously. But I do understand server costs, development costs etc will all factor in.

    I have this thing on the Coles/Woolworths apps that tracks "bought before" discounts so I never miss a deal anyway. I guess if this works for some then its fine, but I think a truly savvy person has no need for it 🤷‍♂️

    This app appears to be quite productive; however, our OZ bargain community is outperforming it by comparing prices not just with Coles and Woolworths, but also across platforms like Amazon, JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys, Officeworks, and many others. In addition to price comparisons, they offer reviews and, most importantly, humor found in the comments and all this is without any cost .

    • Associatedold-hunter @ OZ Pricemate on 14/05/2025 - 12:14

      Thanks for valuable input! This app is never intended to outperform or replace Ozbargain (myself is a long time user of Ozbargain although never registered account before) and may not be useful to everyone. Just hope the app can benefit some people since we are living a highly dominant supermarket country.

  • bootlace on 14/05/2025 - 14:35

    Another “too expensive” comment here.

    I’d only jump at this if it was less than $2/month or $15/year.

    • Associatedold-hunter @ OZ Pricemate on 14/05/2025 - 16:17

      haha thanks for the feedback. We will consider dropping the price after collecting all the feedbacks :)

    I use buywisely.com.au

    • Associatedold-hunter @ OZ Pricemate on 14/05/2025 - 16:18

      oh I used that well

  • outlander on 14/05/2025 - 15:26

    I don't think it's too expensive. I'd pay that, if it was suitably powerful enough.

    What's missing with all these price trackers is alerts based on how close a product is to it's all time low. Most of the apps can tell you if the product price is ATL, but if I need something now I don't need it to be the all time lowest. It's often still a bargain at 110% of the price (So if regular price is $5 and ATL is 2.50, I would still like to know if it was under 2.75). It's also valuable to know how often the ATL is reached. Too often the specials list here is cluttered with things that are 50% off every other week.
    What really interests me are the things that go 50% once a year

    It would also be handy to group products, so that you could compare Woolworths against Coles simultaneously. That's a bit trickier than just scraping data, but it makes it a lot more useful

    • Associatedold-hunter @ OZ Pricemate on 14/05/2025 - 16:14

      Thanks for the feedback. Currently there is a "historical low" option you can set price alert for each product. (You will be notified once the price dropped to historical lowest price). From the backend, I can see most people are using "any price drop" mode and I guess user just want to decide whether to buy each time the price dropped. But I got your point. I am thinking build a page listing all the products which are on the lowest price this week during the past 2 months and having a upvote/downvote feature to let user decide.

      For the 2nd point, sorry I didn't get what you mean by " so that you could compare Woolworths against Coles simultaneously." Currently in the shopping list page, if you add multiple products, it will show you 3 total prices ( purchase all in coles, purchase all in woolies, purchase separately). Is this what you want?

      • outlander on 15/05/2025 - 15:00

        Okay, let say you were searching for Coke. You want to know what the cheapest price of the 1.25L is right now, and you also want to know what the cheapest is it's ever been. But you also might be interested in the price of the 2L bottle, because there have been times when it was actually cheaper to buy 2L and throw away half of it than to get the smaller bottle.

        Now at the moment, you would need to search up all forms of coke (the 1.25l, the 2l, the 600ml, the 375ml cans etc) at all supermarkets to know what the best price was. That's more work than most people want to spend. But if there was a way to group that information together so it was all displayed on the same page, it'd be very valuable information.

        It would sort of replicate the inperson shopping experience, because if you are physically there infront of the shelves you see all the similar products grouped together, and if one is on special you are immediately drawn to it, and you have the choice as to whether to substitute to that product.

          oh I see the point. Now the app providing a sort option "Unit Price: Low to High" could partially fulfil your requirement. But certainly will figure out a better solution for this. Thanks!

  • windix on 14/05/2025 - 15:57

    When are you going to expand to Kmart and Big W?

    • Associatedold-hunter @ OZ Pricemate on 14/05/2025 - 16:16

      oh does kmart and bigw run weekly discount program as well? Certainly can add them but not sure how useful it will be. Since shopping at coles/wws is much more frequent.

      • windix on 14/05/2025 - 16:20

        No, kmart is everyday low price model… so technically no promotion / discount (that's only for discontinued / clearance products).

        • Associatedold-hunter @ OZ Pricemate on 14/05/2025 - 16:37

          I see. So do you actually want to compare similar stuff from kmart and bigw? like their own branded items or you actually want to track the price history?

  • simb24 on 14/05/2025 - 17:19

    Installed, when pressed monthly subscription it force closed.
    Cleaning cache and data not work.

    • Associatedold-hunter @ OZ Pricemate on 14/05/2025 - 17:23

      Sorry for the negative experience. I have sent you a message.

  • vk4ma on 14/05/2025 - 17:58

    My dream for this kind of app is that I set up my grocery shopping cart within the app - the app automatically allocates my grocery purchases to either Coles or Woolworths based on cheapest price. The app then automatically posts my orders to both the Coles and Woolworths shopping app and I then get two deliveries- one from Coles and one from Woolworths. I am just not tight ars enough to compare each product individually and then compile separate shopping orders in each of the Coles or Woolworths shopping apps. Is there a better method that I am missing?

    • INFIDEL on 14/05/2025 - 18:51

      Possible problems with that -
      Both supermarket orders probably need to meet min total for delivery.
      May miss points offers & discount codes that may otherwise apply for min spend amount.

      I order what I require, at cheapest price after pts offers & discounts. Rarely check prices between supermarkets.

      Supermarket apps have my regular orders, can easily add them to shopping list & suggests specials.

      eg Recent 4 weeks @Coles, received $20 off $50 targeted code in email, 4 week $50 spend for 10,000pt, plus 2 weeks of 2000pt if I spent $20 more than the $50 min…

      Woolies only offered 2 x 2000pts on 98c spend, so only spent $2 in store.

      Received $70 worth of pts + $20 discount on $260 total @Coles. Total spend $240.

      So splitting orders based only on price would have cost a lot more ($70 of points)💰

    All the best with it!

    One word of advice, and maybe just my opinion, it looks really cheesy when you get Chat GPT or similar AI to create your marketing like is seen in this post. Lots of emojis are an instant turn off for me.

    • Associatedold-hunter @ OZ Pricemate on 15/05/2025 - 09:24

      aha you got me. Yes it is generated by chatgpt…
