Startup Spotlight #20: Datapare

October 11, 2019

Internet is a vast area of information that may be provided by some random people and those people don’t always turn out to be the most trustworthy ones either. Well, this situation is not that different when it comes to online shopping. Many retail websites offer different prices for the same product or don’t really bother to inform you about the discounts that their competitors have and that means the information you get from those websites costs you money instead.

Consider Datapare as your conscious consumer friend you take with you when shopping. Datapare cares about your wallet, unlike those greedy retailers who want to take as much as they can. Through its extremely easy to use system, you can track the item you desire to buy and find the cheapest provider or wait to get notified when it’s on sale, ‘cause we know it hurts when you miss one. Paying less sounds cool, right? Then hurry up before you go online for shopping again!
