## What is Tagrade?

Tagrade helps you compare grocery shelf tags by their real per-unit price.

Point your iPhone at a printed shelf tag or enter the numbers manually. Tagrade reads the price and package size, normalizes units, ranks comparable items, and shows which option is actually cheaper.

Core features:

- On-device text scanning for printed shelf tags
- Manual entry for hard-to-scan tags, reflective labels, or no-camera use
- Unit-price comparison across ounces, pounds, grams, kilograms, fluid ounces, milliliters, liters, gallons, quarts, pints, count, sheets, and loads
- Multi-buy entry for deals such as 3 for 10
- Sale and coupon percentage adjustment
- Basket Advisor showing estimated extra cost for the worst unit price
- Mixed-unit warnings when a comparison would not be meaningful
- Shareable comparison summaries
- Local comparison history
- Metric and imperial display preference

Tagrade is local-first. Camera frames are processed on device, comparison history is stored locally, and no account, analytics, ads, or developer-run cloud service is required.

### 1.1 — 2026-06-24

Tagrade 1.1

Multi-buy deal support
Enter "N for $X" grocery promotions (3 for $10, 2 for $5, etc.) in manual entry. Tagrade splits the promo total across the items to show the honest per-unit rate — and compares it directly against regular shelf prices in the same session.

Sale and coupon discount entry
Apply a percentage-off discount — loyalty-card deal, paper coupon, or in-store sale — before the per-unit calculation. Works on its own or combined with a multi-buy deal. A summary line shows exactly which adjustments are active.

Share your comparison
Tap Share comparison on the Compare tab to export a plain-text breakdown of all tags in your current session: product, size, price, per-unit rate, and best-deal callout. Share via Messages, Mail, Notes, or copy to clipboard.

### 1.0 — 2026-06-09
