THE PROBLEM

Retail pricing makes shoppers guess.

Specials, member prices and pack-size changes make it hard to know whether today's price is genuinely low or just the new sticker price.

Tare gives shoppers the missing context: product-level price history and a plain verdict.

HOW IT WORKS

Three checks before a verdict.

01

Collect

We collect published grocery prices and show source and last-updated information where available.

02

Compare

Each product is checked against its available price range, with up to twelve months of history where coverage supports it.

03

Verdict

You see whether to buy now, wait, or ignore the sticker noise.

THE VERDICT

Four labels. No price theatre.

BUY NOW

At or near the low end of its available range, when the history is sufficient.

OK

Typical price. Buy if you need it, no urgency.

WAIT

The special is still above its usual range.

OVERPRICED

The discount signal is weak. Skip unless you need it now.

THE BRIEF

A short daily read on what changed.

Tare turns price movement into plain shopping signals.

PRIVACY

The closed beta has no ads, pixels or affiliate pressure.

We do not sell personal data, run advertising pixels, or take retailer commissions. Account data is used to run the app and provide features you request. Push notifications are disabled for this beta.

COVERAGE

Starting with Australia's supermarket shelf.

Coles Woolworths Aldi IGA

Launch coverage focuses on grocery prices from Coles, Woolworths, Aldi and IGA. Product, retailer and location coverage varies; check the source and last-updated details shown in the app. Other retail categories come later.

FAQ

Common questions.

How is Tare different from Frugl, WiseList, or SmartCart?

Most apps show today's special. Tare checks whether that special is low against the product's own price history.

How much does it cost?

The core app is free during the closed beta. Optional paid features may be added later, but pricing has not been set.

How do I know your prices are accurate?

Price freshness and update timing vary by retailer and product. We show source and last-updated information where available; retailer checkout prices remain authoritative. Send corrections to support@tare.net.au.

Do you sell my shopping data?

No. We do not sell personal data, run ad pixels, or take affiliate commissions.

Where do the verdicts come from?

Per-product math against available price history, with up to twelve months where coverage supports it. The app compares current price against the product's usual range and assigns a plain label. Read the methodology for coverage and evidence limits.

Will there be a hardware / homewares / auto version?

Tare may explore other retail categories in future. No category or release date has been committed.
