Zyft for Web

Product snapshot

Zyft is an AI-enabled shopping assistant built to make online buying simpler by instantly comparing prices from multiple retailers. It’s offered at no cost as an iOS app and as an extension for Chrome, helping shoppers locate better prices, monitor price changes, and uncover current promotions.

Core capabilities

• Scan product barcodes in-store with the ZyftZap tool to see nearby online and local price matches.
• Review historical pricing so you can spot trends and decide the best time to buy.
• Quickly compare listings from several websites to identify the lowest available price.
• Get alerts and find the hottest discounts and seasonal offers across supported merchants.
• Verify stock and availability information before purchasing to avoid surprises.
• Use the free iOS application or the Chrome add-on to integrate price checks into your shopping routine.

How the barcode lookup works

Zyft’s barcode scanner (ZyftZap) lets you point your phone at a product’s barcode and immediately retrieve comparable prices from both online stores and participating bricks-and-mortar retailers. This is handy for confirming whether an in-store price is competitive or if you can get a better deal elsewhere.

Coverage, limitations, and usability

Zyft covers a broad selection of categories and links to many Australian retailers, which makes it particularly useful for shoppers in that market. The interface is designed to be straightforward and fast for on-the-spot comparisons. However, the service is primarily oriented toward Australian users and does not yet support every web browser, which may limit functionality for some international shoppers.

Alternative recommendation

If you’re looking for another option, consider the Minea subscription service as a recommended alternative. It provides different tracking and market-insight tools that some users may prefer depending on their needs.
