If you've ever tried to compare prices in Sri Lanka before buying something expensive, you already know the pain point I'm about to describe. I am Rusiru Chathuranka and I am the co-founder of PricePlease comparison platform.
The thing is, when we're planning to buy something that costs a lot of money, for example, an
- Lowest price
- Highest recommended shop
- Optional Koko & Mintpay availability
I'm one of them. I recently bought an Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max. Before I made the purchase, I searched for the best recommended shop, the lowest price, and Koko and Mintpay availability as a backup option. I spent at least 30 days finding the best recommendation and the lowest price shop. The recommendation came through a friend finally, and then I compared the prices with other shops as well.
I found out that the best recommended shop also had the lowest price (based on my experience) for the device, the price gap was around LKR 20,000 compared to other shops.
Why We Built PricePlease
I know the pain of comparing prices across multiple merchants, which is why we built PricePlease, to easily compare prices across multiple stores while also showing you the best recommended shops. PricePlease lets you filter by Koko & Mintpay availability as well.
What PricePlease Does Differently
PricePlease helps you find the lowest price in seconds, something people spend months doing. The whole service is free to use, and people can easily drop their recommendations based on their own store journey.
Stay tuned, we're planning to bring more to the table in the future.
