Zyft
Compare prices from Australian retailers while browsing, scanning barcodes, or tracking price drops.
About Zyft
Zyft is an Australian shopping assistant that compares prices as people browse retail sites. On product pages, the Chrome extension works in the background, checks Australian retailers in real time, and sorts matching offers from the lowest price upward. This reduces manual searching across tabs. The mobile apps add product search, barcode scanning, price-drop alerts, and a deals hub. Safari support brings automatic comparison to another browser. Zyft is most useful for shoppers who regularly compare mainstream products sold by Australian retailers and want price checks built into their existing routine. Zyft says it compares more than 50,000 Australian retailers and offers its extension and apps as free downloads. Buyers should still confirm the product match, delivery charges, stock, retailer terms, and final checkout total. Because the product centers on the Australian market, its coverage and workflow are less relevant to people who shop primarily in other countries.
