Will I see the prices of the shops in my own area?
Yes. BiteSmart picks stores by your location and shows only the ones near you. Travel to another town and the app switches automatically. A user in Võru never sees Tallinn prices.
Is BiteSmart free for the user?
Yes, and it stays free. The download costs nothing, there is no mandatory subscription and the basket comparison is open to everyone. You can read the details in the privacy policy.
Where do the prices come from?
From the stores' public online shops, refreshed daily. The displayed price is indicative, the final price is the one at the checkout.
What happens when a product is out of stock?
The app shows how many of your items each store actually has and offers a substitute, so the comparison never misleads.
Do I have to use the recipes and the menu planner?
No. You can use only the basket and the price comparison. Recipes are an option, not an obligation.
How reliable is the allergen information?
Data comes from the Open Food Facts database and manufacturer information. With a severe allergy, always check the actual packaging as well.
Which Estonian grocery shops does BiteSmart compare?
The larger Estonian grocery chains and their shops: Prisma, Selver, Coop, Rimi, Maxima, Grossi Toidukaubad and others. In total more than 810 shops from 15 chains across 28 towns and settlements. The list keeps growing and the app always shows only the shops near your location.
How much can I save on food with BiteSmart?
It depends on what you buy and how many shops are near you. The same basket often differs by tens of percent between Estonian chains, especially during campaigns. BiteSmart shows the exact difference in euros for every basket, so you do not have to trust it, you see it.
Does BiteSmart work outside the big cities?
Yes. The app is built to work across the whole country, not only in the big cities. In a smaller place there are fewer shops, and the app honestly shows how many shops are actually within your radius. If you travel, the app switches the shops for you.
Do I have to plan a whole week at a time?
No. You can plan one day, three days or a full week, exactly as it suits you. You can also skip planning entirely and use only the shopping basket and the price comparison.
Does BiteSmart work on both iPhone and Android?
Yes, on both. The app arrives in the App Store and Google Play at the same time. The website works in any browser, but the basket, the price comparison and the planning happen in the app.
What happens to my data if I delete the app?
You can delete your account inside the app and also from this website, without installing anything. Deleting removes your shopping lists, preferences and profile. What exactly we keep before that, and for how long, is written in the privacy policy.
Can I add my loyalty cards to the app?
Yes. Add a card with the camera and the app reads the barcode. At the till you open the card on your phone and the cashier scans it straight from the screen. Points accrue to your real account exactly as with the plastic card. The cards live on your phone and work even when there is no signal in the shop.
Can I see my points balance in the app?
Not for now. Points accrue as usual, but the balance sits in the shop's own system and you can check it in that chain's app or website. We do not want to promise more than we can deliver.
