Price scout

Before you pay full price, pally checks who else has it, and for how much.

The thirty seconds before you tap Buy is exactly enough time to text pally. It checks other stores for the same item, compares real prices with shipping, and tells you if walking away saves money.

The routine

How it works

Before committing to an item, send pally the link or enough identifying detail to find the same model elsewhere. Specific model names, colors, and sizes matter because a near match can look like a better deal while actually being a different product.

Pally checks other stores for that exact item and compares what is currently available. It looks beyond the headline listing to include practical differences such as shipping and stock, so the answer reflects whether the alternative can actually reach you.

The result is a short comparison in iMessage, not a collection of tabs for you to inspect. Pally points out which matching offers are worth considering and the delivery detail attached to each, giving you a useful reason to stay or move.

Reply with your preference and choose the next step. Ask to inspect one store more closely, request the link, or have pally prepare the checkout. If the first options do not fit, narrow the search by delivery speed, retailer, or exact variant and let it check again.

Before you start

Common questions

How do I make sure pally compares the same item?+

Send the product link or the full model detail, then name the variant that matters. Pally can use the size, color, and model to avoid treating a similar-looking product as an equivalent option.

Does the lowest listing always win?+

Not necessarily. Shipping, stock, and delivery timing can change which offer is actually useful. Pally includes those practical differences so you can decide from more than the first number on a product page.

Can pally help after it finds a better option?+

Yes. Ask for the retailer link or tell pally to prepare checkout from the option you chose. A purchase still waits for your review and approval before anything is ordered.
