Frequently Asked Questions

Compare Value is a free web-based application designed to help shoppers calculate the true cost of items based on their weight, volume, or count. It allows you to enter the price and quantity of multiple items to instantly see which one offers the lowest price per unit.

No. This is a common misconception. While retailers often offer lower unit prices for larger quantities, they sometimes place a premium on "Family Size" items because they know many customers will grab them without checking the math. Sometimes, two smaller boxes on sale can be cheaper than one large bulk bag.

Yes! Use the "Multi-buy" toggle when adding an item. You can specify the total price for the deal and the number of packs/items included. The tool will calculate the underlying unit price so you can compare it fairly against single items.

Our tool automatically handles unit conversions for you. If you enter one item in grams and another in kilograms, the system will normalize them to a common unit (usually kilograms or liters) so the comparison is 100% accurate.

Absolutely. Compare Value is a serverless application. We do not store your data on any central database. All your comparisons, saved lists, and histories stay right in your browser's local storage. Not even we can see what you are comparing.

Once the website is loaded, most functions will work without an internet connection since the logic runs entirely on your device. However, you will need an active connection to load the initial site or see advertisements.
