The growth of Pakistan\u2019s\u00a0startup<\/a>\u00a0and eCommerce ecosystem is heartening to see. The trend\u00a0became visible around 2011 when services like Daraz, PakWheels, Rozee, and OLX starting\u00a0investing heavily in marketing. It accelerated with the launch of\u00a0fast 3G data services<\/a>, and\u00a0reached a tipping point last year when we saw online stores launching Black Friday (some were\u00a0\u2018White\u2019) sales, which netted them millions of dollars in sales. In total, Pakistan\u2019s eCommerce\u00a0market is worth some $60 million, and is expected to reach $600 million by 2018, according to\u00a0industry experts.<\/p>\n

With the rise of ecommerce, Pakistani online shoppers are becoming spoiled for choice. The\u00a0same product is usually available at at least a dozen other stores, and all offer different prices,warranties, shipping times, and payment methods. As people who like bargaining, and getting\u00a0the best deal, it can be cumbersome to find the absolute best deal online.This is something that PriceOye.pk is solving. It is a\u00a0price comparison service for Pakistan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What is a price comparison service?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Price comparison services like PriceOye.pk allow you to, well,\u00a0compare prices. For any item\u00a0sold online which interests you, such services show a list\u00a0of stores selling it. These price lists\u00a0are often in ascending order, which means you can instantly tell which online store is offering\u00a0the latest price for that particular item. The item could be a mobile phone, a laptop, tablet, home\u00a0appliance, consumer\u00a0electronics, fashion accessories or anything else that is sold by multiple\u00a0online stores.<\/p>\n

Price comparison services are different from price estimation services like HamariWeb which display estimated prices. These estimations are not nearly as accurate as the automatically\u00a0updated price lists of price comparison services.<\/p>\n

PriceOye.pk\u00a0-price comparison for mobile phones<\/strong><\/p>\n

PriceOye.pk is not as comprehensive as some international price comparison services. The\u00a0Pakistani service specifically targets mobile\u00a0phones (which is arguably the most popular\u00a0category by revenue) from a number of brands including popular ones like\u00a0Apple<\/a>\u00a0,Samsung<\/a>\u00a0,Huawei<\/a>, and lesser ones like\u00a0Lenovo<\/a>\u00a0,HTC\u00a0<\/a>,LG<\/a>\u00a0,Oppo<\/a>\u00a0, and\u00a0QMobile.<\/a><\/p>\n

Pretty much every mobile\u00a0phone that is sold online will be found online on PriceOye.pk for price comparison.You can quickly search a particular phone, or browse them by brand. The homepage shows the\u00a0latest mobile phones like\u00a0iPhone 7<\/a>\u00a0, but oddly also shows really old phones from BlackBerry.This is likely a bug in their software, \u00a0though it is somewhat forgivable since they openly claim they are in \u2018beta\u2019 at the moment.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve opened the page for a particular phone, you can see the price list near the top. As\u00a0mentioned previously, these are listed in ascending order, so that the lowest price is on top. We\u00a0spotted prices from popular stores like Telemart, Mega, iShopping, Daraz, and Shophive.Homeshopping.pk was noticeably absent, though.<\/p>\n

In addition to price lists, you can also see hardware specs, and a historical price chart of each<\/div>\n

phone, but that\u2019s about it. Still, it is going to be useful for anyone who is passionate about\u00a0smartphones, and regularly buys them online. For offline users, it can serve as a useful utility for\u00a0ensuring your local mobile store is not fleecing you of your hard earned money.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

PriceOye.pk is a pretty basic price comparison service, but at\u00a0least it gets the fundamentals\u00a0right. We\u2019ve seen price differences between online stores range in Rs. 10,000, so there\u2019s a\u00a0decent chance you\u2019ll save as much when you check the service before buying your next mobile\u00a0phone.<\/div>\n
