The barcode scanner was functional but quite slow compared to the lightening fast scanner in Google Shopper. The one exception was the packet of razors-Amazon found the brand accurately but reported none in stock and no price for comparison. We had no problem finding the products at reasonable prices (and often with free Super Saver or Prime shipping). If you’re doing a lot of price checking it’s more user friendly than the scanner in the Amazon app as it gets you to the scanning and checking section faster and with cleaner and larger icons.Īmazon only searches the eco-system the system has grown exponentially over the years and pulls in data from a wide range of merchants.

It also includes location-aware coupons and discounts (if you’re into opt-in advertisement in the name of saving money). You can search via text entry, barcode scan, or voice entry. Google Shopper taps directly into Google’s massive price comparison engine. ![]()
