ComparApp tells you which product actually costs less — not which one has the smaller number on the tag. The shelf price lies. A 1.2 kg box at 78 looks worse than an 800 g box at 49, until you work it out: one is 65.00 per kilo, the other 61.25. Now put a 3x2 on the small one and it drops to 40.83 — 37% cheaper. Compar-App does that arithmetic in seconds, standing in the aisle. WHAT IT DOES • Compare up to 5 products at once, ranked from cheapest to most expensive per unit • Mix units freely — 500 g against 1.2 kg, 750 ml against 2 L. Everything is converted for you • Weight (g, kg, oz, lb), volume (ml, L, fl oz, gal), pieces and dozens, length (cm, m, ft) • Apply the promotion on the shelf: 2x1, 3x2, 4x3, second unit at 50% off, a percentage off, or a fixed amount off • See the real price per kilo, litre, piece or metre for every option • Know exactly how much you save by taking the winner • Get warned when a promotion makes you buy more than one package HISTORY AND SAVED PRODUCTS • Every comparison is kept, so you can check what those same products cost last time • Pin what you buy often and drop it into a new comparison without typing it again • Search your saved products • Share a result with whoever is doing the shopping MADE FOR USE IN THE STORE • Live price per unit as you type — often you have the answer before pressing Compare • English and Spanish, following your device language • Choose your currency, independently of your device region • Light and dark mode • Built for iPhone and iPad, with a side-by-side layout on iPad PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your comparisons and saved products stay on your device. No account, no sign-up, no server. Nothing you type is uploaded anywhere. ComparApp is free and supported by ads. Made with love by Seruz Game Studios

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: My Astound at none against Compar's shown. My Astound also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
