If you want to buy the things you need and at the same time save money, but do not want to run around the shops in search of the best deal, then this article is for you. She will introduce you to 4 services that track the prices of goods in online stores.

Who doesn't love discounts? Even marketers who know all the pricing tricks love them.

Especially if, in order to get a lucrative offer, you do not need to make regular raids on shops. In the 21st century, discounts find buyers themselves.

They will be discussed in this article.

It to me

This service is for you if you know exactly what you want and do not have time to browse hundreds of pages in online stores.

The principle is simple. You open a website and go through a small "test" (gender, favorite brands, type of products you are interested in, sizes of clothes and shoes), at the end of which you enter your username, e-mail and choose the frequency of mailing (daily, 1 or 2 times a week) … The It to Me aggregator collects information, according to the parameters you set, on 150 online stores and prepares a newsletter for you.

Thus, you will quickly find out about price changes, the appearance of the desired size, etc.

In addition, when browsing the products of selected brands on It to Me, you can add items you especially like to your favorites (click on the heart) in order to buy later or, by going to the site, to see the price change.

Shopcade

Overall, Shopcade is very similar to Pinterest. These are also "boards" with your wishes. The only difference is that, in addition to the Want button, there is a Shop button that allows you to buy the item you like. The service will notify you by e-mail when a product from your list appears on sale or its price changes. (There's also a Tag button to share cool stuff with your friends.)

In addition, the service can be used with the help of a bookmarklet, thanks to which not a single thing that interests you will sink into oblivion of Internet surfing.

Scoutfit

This service allows you to subscribe not to a specific product, but to the online store as a whole. A bookmarklet is also used to add them.

After that, you can create WishLists and track the prices of items.

Important features. First, you can choose which cost you prioritize. Thus, your mail will receive notifications not about any price fluctuations, but only about those that may interest you. Secondly, you can add not only clothing stores, but, for example, stores with household goods.

Sift

You can set up filters in Gmail and track products through RSS subscriptions of your favorite stores, or you can install Sift. What it is?

It's like a social magazine Flipboard, geared towards online shopping. Install the application on your i-device (or use the web version), log in and proceed with the settings.

First, you need to subscribe to brands and stores whose offers you are interested in. Then you can “like” (in this case - love it) products of your favorite brands. Thus, you can make lists of what you like, read descriptions of goods, find out prices for them (including discount prices), and by clicking the "buy it" button, go to the seller's website and make a purchase.

Another point: if you log in through Facebook, you can select some friends so that they know what you want to buy for them, and what you yourself will not give up.

The only drawback of Sift is that the iOS app is only available in the US App Store.
