How BestPriceScanner Works
From search to purchase in under 30 seconds. Here's exactly what happens when you use BestPriceScanner.
Search Any Product
Type a product name, brand, model number, or scan a UPC barcode. We search our database of products from Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, EcoFlow, eBay, and more.
Try searches like "Sony WH-1000XM5", "MacBook Air M3", or a UPC like "027242923782"
Compare Prices Side-by-Side
We show you the current price at every retailer that carries the product, ranked from lowest to highest. See stock availability and the verification timestamp on each price.
The "Best Value" tag always marks the cheapest verified in-stock option.
Buy at the Best Price
Click "Buy at [Retailer]" to go directly to the product page at the cheapest retailer. You pay the same price you'd pay going directly: we never add markup.
We earn a small affiliate commission from some retailers when you click through. This keeps the service free and doesn't affect prices.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is BestPriceScanner free?
Yes: completely free. No sign-up, no subscription, no browser extension required. We earn a small affiliate commission from some retailers when you buy, which keeps the service running.
How often are prices updated?
We refresh prices continuously throughout the day. Every price shows the exact time it was last verified, and we never display an Amazon price older than 24 hours — if it can't be re-verified in that window, we hide it and link you to check the current price directly.
Why doesn't a product show all retailers?
We only show retailers that actually carry that specific product. Not every retailer stocks every item, so the list varies by product.
Do you add any markup to prices?
Never. The prices you see are pulled directly from the retailer. The price you pay when you click through is exactly what the retailer charges.
What retailers do you cover?
Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, EcoFlow and eBay are fully integrated. We're continuously adding more US retailers.
