ThePriceBasket - A price comparison website
Hey Guys!👋
I recently launched a side project called "The Price Basket", a community driven price comparison website and wanted to genuinely get your feedback, ideas, criticism, and suggestions from the community.
This idea came from a frustration that I am not able remember which store had the cheapest price!!😅
So the idea is, users can:
- Compare prices across different stores (e.g.: grocery, mobile).
- Submit prices manually or vote/dispute on existing prices.
- Upload invoices/receipts for supported stores.
- Pull publicly available online prices from supported stores/websites
The long-term goal is simply to build a transparent community-powered pricing database.
A few things I’d genuinely love feedback on:
- Does this concept actually solve a real problem for you?
- What features would make you actively use something like this?
- Would you trust community-submitted prices?
- What would stop this from becoming useful long-term?
- Any UX/UI suggestions or missing features?
I'm actively making changes and I’m continuously improving. Future updates to this site includes:
- PWA (a progressive web app) - not very much into building mobile apps at this stage
- Improving mobile responsiveness for better UI/UX
- Longer price history charts
- Price alerts as notifications, SMS or email
Would really appreciate a feedback or two — even harsh criticism is welcome 🙏
