Price observations

Prices Nearby helps compare observed product prices. Recognition, store matching and unit conversions may be incomplete or incorrect. Observations can become outdated; stock, taxes, membership, promotion dates, purchase limits and package differences can affect the checkout price. Check the label and store before purchasing. A comparison is not a reservation, a retailer offer, or a guarantee of savings.

Your account and submissions

Keep account access secure. Upload only photos you have rights and permission to share. Do not fabricate price labels, misrepresent stores, submit unlawful content or abuse the service. Your photos remain yours; you allow us and our service providers to store and process them to provide recognition, comparisons and problem investigation. Confirming a scan can share its validated price observation and public store location, as described in the Privacy Policy. Source photos are not publicly posted.

Review and availability

A scan with no detected price tag ends without manual product/price submission. Review marks and corrections help identify mistakes; they do not guarantee the accuracy of the result. Features depend on supported iOS versions, connectivity and service providers. We may update, limit, suspend or discontinue features and do not guarantee uninterrupted availability.
