Know before you buy: prices, product specifications, consumer reviews…
The Twenga iPhone Application lets iPhone owners use their mobile phones to check the price of an item to find the best deal before buying it in a store. Using an interface specifically designed for the iPhone, users can browse through hi-tech offers available on Twenga’s website, used by more than 20 million Internet comparison shoppers worldwide. In a few simple steps, users can find and compare prices, technical specifications and consumer reviews – all the information they need before deciding where to purchase, in-store or online, on any one of the 500,000 offers from 500 different brands sold by 1,300 online retailers (see practical case study attached).
“We are very pleased to be the first enterprise to offer a price comparison application specifically designed for the iPhone. Innovation is in our DNA, and that is what has earned us the trust of our users worldwide,” stated Bastien Duclaux, Twenga’s CEO.
Always get the best deal in-store or online
The products available on the Twenga iPhone Application, from cameras to food processors, are among this year’s most sought-after Christmas gifts. With goods ranging from cameras, audio-video, phones, computers and electrical appliances, finding the perfect gift, even for those who are impossible to shop for, is now an easy and budget-friendly task.
No more following shop assistants through busy crowds, and certainly no danger of missing a bargain. During the current economic crisis, this free application is a welcome tool to help consumers find the best price. It can be found at Twenga App and downloaded from the Apple App Store.

Sbastien Berten, CEO of Backelite, said, “The ability to compare prices on the road – whether to make an urgent purchase decision or to double-check on a last-minute bargain – is a great consumer benefit.”
