CompareMe helps you save money by comparison shopping — fast. Compare products in different sizes and packs, and CompareMe instantly shows the percentage discount or premium AND how much real money you save or overpay. Need it the other way around? Wallet Mode tells you exactly how much product you get for a fixed budget — perfect for a €50 fill-up or a gift voucher. So next time you shop online, in store, or anywhere you have to decide whether the price is right — let CompareMe do the math. WHAT'S NEW Shortcuts — ask "Which was cheaper?" via Siri, Spotlight or the Action Button and see your last comparison without opening the app. Start a new comparison or add a product with one tap. Wallet Mode — enter your budget (or a fuel/gift voucher) and see how much you actually get. Save your comparisons — keep your regular buys one tap away. Three for everyone, more with CompareMe Pro. Price History (Pro) — log prices as you shop and instantly see whether today's "deal" is really the cheapest you've seen. Unit prices now shown for both products on the detail screen. COMPARE AND CONVERT Compare and convert prices across many package sizes, volumes, lengths and more. Discounts and premiums are calculated automatically — or set your own target discount for price negotiations. BUILT FOR SPEED Enter prices, amounts or discounts with the optimized number keypad. Pick the right unit with the unit-picker, and move package sizes by drag-and-drop. Powerful, but genuinely easy to use. WHO IS COMPAREME FOR?

Anyone haggling on bigger buys like cars, TVs or appliances — set your target discount as the basis for negotiation. Purchasing agents and small businesses who need a quick price check on the go. FEATURED BY APPLE CompareMe was featured in the Apple & AT&T print campaign "Helping you stretch your budget, one app at a time." in newspapers like USA TODAY and The New York Times, and in Apple's "What's Hot" section.
