Stevie-winner Chum is a Dubai-based price comparison app designed to help users save money and time by allowing them to compare prices across various stores for products ranging from groceries to tech gadgets.
By aggregating data from major retailers, Chum helps users find the best deals without the need to visit multiple websites. The app is particularly helpful for frequent purchases, like groceries, where it shows price comparisons across supermarkets, allowing users to select the cheapest options.
Additionally, Chum extends its service to travel bookings, offering comparisons for flights, hotels, and car rentals, making it a versatile tool for budget-conscious consumers. Its user-friendly interface enables shoppers to quickly identify price drops, with some products seeing discounts as high as 60% to 70% from retailers like Carrefour, Amazon, and Noon.
Chum also offers valuable features tailored to enhance user experience beyond simple price comparison. For instance, the app allows users to set price alerts for specific products, so they are notified when prices drop, making it easier to snag the best deals.
The ability to create and save wish lists ensures that users can revisit and purchase desired items at their convenience, without having to search for them again. Chum also provides cart comparison across supermarkets, helping users ensure they are getting the best deals on their grocery orders from various retailers.
What sets Chum apart from its competitors is the integration of multiple verticals, combining various categories like electronics, groceries, fashion, and even travel services (flights and hotels) within a single platform.
The app stands out in the UAE market as it utilizes AI-driven tools to compare millions of products, which gives it a significant edge in ensuring accurate and up-to-date price listings. This comprehensive approach, combined with user-friendly features like deal alerts and cart comparisons, offers customers a one-stop solution for efficient and budget-conscious shopping.
Since winning a Stevie, they are now launching a Cashback feature, which will help customers get cashback on Chum for any shopping they do. This fuels their vision of being the first touchpoint in the region—no matter where a customer shops from, they want them to first come to Chum to see the best prices and deals and initiate cashback before buying the product they want from the respective stores.
Chum won two Gold Stevie Awards for Most Innovative Startup of the Year - Consumer Service Industries, and the Award for Innovation in Shopping or E-commerce Apps in the 2024 Middle East & North Africa Stevie® Awards.
