Super Save

What Super Save does

Super Save is a Portugal-based consumer price comparison platform that enables households to compare grocery prices across the country's seven major supermarket chains — Continente, Pingo Doce, Lidl, Auchan, Mercadona, Intermarché, and Minipreço — from a single mobile or web application. The product is operated by CLOUDSYNCRO, LDA, a private limited company headquartered in São Domingos de Rana, Portugal, and was launched in 2022 with a 15-person team. Its target user is price-conscious Portuguese shoppers seeking to reduce weekly grocery expenditure, with the company reporting average user savings of up to 30% on shopping carts.

The core technology is a mobile-first price comparison engine that aggregates and normalizes pricing data for over 100,000 products with daily updates. It is delivered through native Android and iOS applications and a browser-based web application at supersave.pt/web. Feature set includes location-based supermarket discovery, barcode scanning, receipt/fatura scanning, household spending analysis, historical price tracking, and personalized push notifications for promotional alerts. The platform has accumulated 500,000+ downloads and holds a 4.0-4.5/5 average user rating on Google Play.

The business model is a fully free consumer product with no paid tier, subscription, or in-app purchases. No commercial revenue model is disclosed in available source material, and the company does not appear to monetize end users directly; operations are supported by EIT Community NEB and EIT Food, initiatives of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (a body of the European Union), indicating grant or public funding sustains current development. Distribution is exclusively digital through app stores and the company's own website, with the product positioned as the #1 price comparator in Portugal.

Core offering

Super Save is a free mobile and web price comparison platform for Portuguese consumers that aggregates daily-updated grocery prices from seven major supermarket chains (Continente, Pingo Doce, Lidl, Auchan, Mercadona, Intermarché, Minipreço) across 100,000+ products. Users search by name, brand, or barcode, compare unit prices (per kg, per litre, per unit) side-by-side, locate the cheapest nearby store via location-based mapping, scan receipts to back-test savings, and receive personalized promotional alerts on favorite items.

Product overview

Super Save operates as a single unified consumer product available in two delivery formats: a mobile application for Android and iOS devices, and a web-based application accessible through browsers. Both platforms provide identical core functionality—a price comparison service for Portuguese supermarket chains—allowing users to search products by name, brand, or barcode, compare prices across 7 major supermarket chains, view historical price data, and receive promotional alerts. The product is completely free to users and monetizes through supermarket partnerships and visibility. The mobile and web applications share the same product database and user interface concepts, with the mobile app offering additional native features such as receipt scanning and household spending analysis.
