"[The] site aggregates prices of data bundles, Utilities, Pay TV and Transport services in Uganda," read the press release. Adding that "with the ever-increasing spectrum of service providers, it’s become increasingly difficult to choose which offer is the best."
Some of the service-oriented products include, but are not limited to; data plans, voice, and SMS, mobile money, pay tv, cooking gas, ride-hailing services and more.

“We have created a single platform where Ugandans can compare prices from various service providers for the sole purpose of getting the best deal," noted Okwii David, in the press release.
"Nobody wants to be cheated. In the current economy, every single Shilling counts."
Users also have the option to sign up for an emailing list to receive notifications about any price changes directly in their inbox.
The need for price comparison is a growing trend with the rise of various service providers which leads to competition. Especially in Kenya. CompareGuru was launched to help users compare "the latest and cheapest insurance and personal finance deals". There are other platforms like PriceRoundUp, Sokompare, Yaoota and more.
