Introduction
|
Use METAPRICES to search for software and compare prices at major
online stores! METAPRICES is a free service for online comparison
shopping*. Once
you select a title, our spider searches the Web for the most current prices
at several online software stores and presents the results sorted by price
so you can compare
before you shop. Besides being easy to use, our price engine only
compares prices for the specific product you want (instead of swamping you with
prices for irrelevant items like at other comparison shopping sites.)

How to use this site
| Step 1: Search for Software |
The first step is to search for what you want by typing in a
Keyword for a software product into a
search box like the one at the top
of this page. Type in a title and/or publisher's name and click
on the Go! button to begin the search. Results are returned with matches
to your search terms highlighted.
If no matches were found, make sure you spelled your terms correctly,
otherwise we probably don't have the item you are looking for in our database. |
| Step 2: Navigate the results |
Search results are presented in tables according to
Software Title, Publisher, or Format/Platform.
Clicking on a hyperlink
refines your search:
-
Click on a Software Title to search the web for the prices on that
software product.
|
| Step 3: Compare prices |
When you select a Software Title, our spider searches the web to find
the current prices for the software at several online stores. This
may take up to a minute. The result is a list of online stores and
their prices for that product. |
| Step 4: Shop at a store |
You can visit an online store and view their web page for a product
by clicking
on a Price. |
