New Unda app lets Aruba shoppers compare supermarket prices

ORANJESTAD — A new application called Unda has launched in Aruba, allowing consumers to compare supermarket prices and potentially reduce their grocery expenses.

Users can scan product barcodes or search for items to view the latest recorded prices at different supermarkets. The app also offers a shopping list feature, enabling consumers to compare the estimated total cost of their groceries across stores based on available data.

The initiative aims to help households make more informed purchasing decisions amid concerns over the cost of living.

Unda relies partly on community participation. Users can add products, submit prices and update existing information. However, displayed prices may differ from actual store prices because supermarket prices can change.

The developers plan to expand the platform's supermarket coverage and product database while encouraging cooperation with retailers to improve the accuracy of information.

The app is available at unda.cheap.
