What is Zyft?

Zyft is an AI deal finder tool. A free Australian price comparison tool with a Chrome and Safari extension plus iOS and Android apps. It detects the product you are viewing, checks prices across 50,000+ Aussie retailers and lists results from lowest to highest, with barcode scanning, price drop alerts and a daily deals hub.

Zyft is a price comparison tool built for the Australian market. It pairs a Chrome and Safari browser extension with iOS and Android apps, and its job is simple: when a shopper views a product on an Australian retail site, Zyft checks what the same item costs elsewhere. The company says it compares across more than 50,000 Australian retailers and that roughly 700,000 shoppers have used it. Results are ranked by price, with the lowest offer shown first. The browser side is designed to be passive. A shopper clicks a product on a retail page as usual, Zyft runs in the background, and a panel surfaces other sellers and their prices. No searching and no tab switching are required. The mobile apps add a barcode scanner, so a shopper standing in a store can scan an item and see whether Zyft can locate a better price, plus price drop alerts that notify when a tracked product falls in cost. A Deals Hub on the site aggregates daily offers, retailer sales and partner promotions. It is aimed at everyday Australian consumers rather than analysts or procurement teams, and it is most useful for electronics, white goods, appliances and similar considered purchases where prices vary widely between chains. Reviewers quoted on the site describe savings on televisions, coffee machines, vacuum cleaners and wine cases. Zyft is free to use and states that it ranks purely on price, with some result links being affiliate links. The homepage is candid about scope limits. Zyft does not guarantee that it covers every retailer, that the sellers shown are the absolute cheapest, or that live pricing and stock are always accurate. Comparisons exclude shipping, delivery and other fees as well as member or loyalty pricing, so the headline difference is not always the amount a shopper ends up saving at checkout. Shoppers outside Australia will find little of use, since the retailer base is domestic.

  2. 2Shop on an Australian retail site as normal
    Open a product page at a participating retailer. Zyft runs quietly in the background and picks up the item you are viewing without any extra input.
  3. 3Read the price comparison panel
    Zyft scans retailers and displays other sellers with their prices, ordered from cheapest to most expensive, so you can see where the item costs least.
  4. 4Check an item in store with the scanner
    In the mobile app, scan a barcode to see whether Zyft can find the same product cheaper elsewhere before you buy it at the shelf price.
  5. 5Set a price drop alert
    If the current price is not low enough, create an alert and Zyft will notify you when the tracked product becomes cheaper.
  6. 6Browse the Deals Hub for current offers
    The sales page collects live deals, retailer sales and featured partner offers, updated daily, for shoppers who want to browse before committing to a purchase.
