ugenie — shopping comparison engine
ugenie is a shopping comparison engine that says it can dig through different sites and find you best deals on particular things, focusing on books/music/films and other similar media. What makes it interesting is that 1) it places emphasis on “credit card damage”, that is, the actual amount of cash that the purchase takes away from you (including all charges and shipping, minus coupons) and 2) it says it’s particularly good at finding deals of “bundles”, that is, not individual items but things grouped together.
This example bundle on their homepage is pretty impressive. It says it can get your cost down from $70 to $17. It offers used items, I guess that’s one way to get the cost down.
Comes from India. One of few Indian companies I’ve ever heard of.
Jaanus,
I really enjoyed reading through your blog, I thought perhaps, you might be interested in checking out the beta website of the place were i work -www.ugenie.com
ugenie helps you discover the cheapest prices for your choice of items be it single or a bundle of items. When we say ‘price’ we mean credit card damage that includes shipping, taxes and yes live coupons!. So be it your Christmas shopping list or a multi-item gift that you were thinking for someone, in once click you find the best price over online merchants. As we give you the best prices we crunch millions of numbers typically merchants (M^N) raised to N to compute the cheapest permutation. For now we have 7 million items in books, music, movies, and games.
