How Does Aqua Compare Work?

We have had a few emails recently asking what Aqua Compare is, how it can benefit them and how it works.

Basically Aqua Compare is a price comparison site designed especially for aquarists. The majority of price comparison sites are aimed at a very wide market and whilst some of these do have aquarium related products in them there do not normally appear to be that many. Aqua Compare is loaded with products only in relation to aquariums and from this the software behind the scenes is able to see which stores any products are sold by.

At times the product may only be sold by one store however in other occasions several stores may sell the items. This is where Aqua Compare is useful as you can identify where you can purchase it the cheapest from.

This leads me to another question which came in via email. The products listed on the site sometimes do not display a store when the store actually does sell this relevant item. For the software to be able to identify which product(s) to add store prices to the item name must be exact.

For example if the product is called ‘Aqua Medic Protein Skimmer’ on Aqua Compare however on the store it is called Aquamedic Protein Skimmer’ then the software will not see this as the same item and therefore the store will not be added. Effectively the software looks for an exact match in the product name area.

This has posed to be a bit of a challenge as various sites do list items on their sites in different ways and for this reason there are times when duplicate entries are seen. This is to try and accomodate as many stores as possible for price comparison reasons.

More stores are continuously being added to Aqua Compare therefore over time you should be able to compare prices for many more stores and many more products. Store prices and products are going to be checked on a monthly basis so that new products are added and the prices are up to date.

I hope that Aqua Compare will become an area which people will use and find beneficial. Nowadays with the current financial climate if you can save money by ‘comparing’ prices then it has to be worthwhile.
