Great article, however price comparison apps are still behind the good comparison sites. If you check a good site like idealchooser.com, you will still get a much better selection and lower prices, web search for any store selling your product, plus available coupons for the stores and price alerts. So limiting yourself to one, or even more apps will be less beneficial than a site that checks out every available price and deal anywhere.
We use price comparison apps on Flash Purchase to heal anyone who wants to create a deal to set a price that is significantly lower than the lowest price on the Internet. The intent is then to have others join that deal leading to the benefits of lower prices associated with group volume.
