ShopSavvy for iPhone
ShopSavvy, originally called Go Cart, is a free iPhone app that allows the shopper to scan the barcode of any product using the phone’s built-in camera. Once scanned, it will search for all the best prices on the internet, bridging the gap between shopping online and shopping at the store.
I love using ShopSavvy because it provides a wide range of price comparisons which includes the web and local stores. It also has a product reviews tab, history page of all items scanned, and a really nice user interface.
There are two other similar iPhone apps that does barcode scanning called Pic2Shop and RedLaser. Pic2Shop is free to download but not ad-free. The barcode scanner is fast but the user interface is generic and it utilizes the Safari browser to pull up search results.
RedLaser is available for $1.99 from the appstore and comes with a nice user interface but provides very little price comparison results. It also has a really stubborn scanner that more often than not, couldn’t recognize the barcode.
Of the three, I would definitely recommend downloading ShopSavvy. This app is also available for Android-powered mobile phones.

Pricecheckah is better. It uses the great redlaser barcode scanner, but gives you results from Amazon, eBay, walmart, overstock, buy.com as well as Google. It even let’s you put in your own stores.
And at only 99c.
