To the savvy shopper or bargain-hunter, knowing the exact time a sale begins is a heaven-sent gift—a gift that German site Apotni delivers.
Apotni provides customers with real-time price search, indexing prices for German, American, and French markets. According to Springwise, Apotni’s engine crawls over 65 million items in more than 10,000 afilliated stores when someone conducts a search request. Users get a fast, to-the-second price comparison as well as price trends spanning the preceding four weeks. Because retail errors frequently occur—which can result in price fluctuations of up to 90%!—users can take advantage of these errors using Apotni or its newly-launched price breakdown site Preispanne.de.
