Zyft
Officially listedAn Australian AI shopping assistant comparing prices in real time across 50,000+ retailers.
Zyft
Zyft is the most worthwhile AI real-time price comparison tool to install in the Australian market, founded by comparison-industry veteran Damien Waller (co-founder of iSelect), launched in 2019, with A$7.5 million raised. Install the extension and the comparison panel pops up automatically while you shop online — savings with zero effort.
Core Capabilities
- AI real-time comparison: automatically identifies the product you are viewing and matches it across 50,000+ Australian retailers in seconds, sorted low to high
- Price drop alerts: set a target price and get notified the moment it hits
- Barcode scan comparison: scan in a physical store to instantly see the same item's online prices and ask staff to price-match on the spot (Beta)
- Price history and stock: view price trends and live inventory
- Daily deals hub: curated retailer discounts in one place
- Multiple entry points: browser extension plus app search/share comparison
Use Cases Fits Australian online shoppers, especially big-ticket buyers of TVs and appliances (media cases report up to A$700 saved in one purchase) and in-store bargain hunters; of little value to overseas users.
Unique Advantages Compared with international tools like Honey, Zyft is deeply localized to Australian small and mid-size retailers with broader coverage; compared with legacy comparison sites like ShopBot, its proactive AI pop-up and zero-effort experience feel more modern.
Editorial Review 4.4 on the App Store and about 4.7 on the Chrome Web Store, with users saving about 30% on average. Strongly recommended for users who shop 100% in Australia; but it is Australia-only, excludes shipping costs, and barcode scanning is still in Beta.

FAQ
Is Zyft free?
Completely free. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads for consumers; all features are open to all users with no Pro tier. The company monetizes through merchant affiliate marketing commissions.
What can Zyft be used for?
Its core is AI real-time price comparison: automatically identifies the product you are browsing and instantly compares prices, stock, and price history across 50,000+ Australian retailers, with price drop alerts and barcode scan comparison.
Which platforms can Zyft be used on?
It supports Chrome (desktop) and Safari (iOS/Mac) browser extensions plus iOS and Android apps. Firefox and Edge have no complete official extensions yet.
How is Zyft different from Honey?
Zyft focuses on real-time price comparison rather than coupons/cashback, with fuller coverage of local Australian small and mid-size retailers; Honey excels at auto-testing coupons at checkout but is less localized for Australia.
Does Zyft only work in Australia?
Yes. Zyft is deeply tied to the Australian retail ecosystem; outside Australia its usefulness drops sharply and it is basically worthless for overseas users, with no international expansion timeline announced.
Is Zyft's pricing information accurate?
Prices exclude shipping, membership discounts, and VIP pricing, and some reliance on third-party data can introduce delays. The company advises deferring to the actual checkout price — detail-oriented savers should take note.
Is Zyft's barcode scanning feature mature?
Barcode scanning (ZyftZap) is still in Beta, and not all retailers support in-store price matching — treat it as a supplementary reference, not the sole basis for decisions.
