AppSwarm, Corp. (OTC:SWRM) announced Tuesday the release of SmartShop, a free mobile application designed to help consumers compare grocery prices across multiple stores in real time. The app, available on the Apple App Store, aims to address rising grocery costs by eliminating the guesswork of finding the best deals.
SmartShop allows users to create shopping lists and instantly see which nearby store offers the lowest total price. Key features include location-based results, per-item price breakdowns, map navigation, and smart insights such as “Save $5 at another store” or “This store is cheapest for most items.” The app is free to download with optional in-app purchases.
“SmartShop was built to solve a real everyday problem - rising grocery costs and the frustration of not knowing where to shop for the best deals,” said Christopher Bailey, CEO of AppSwarm. “By putting real-time price comparisons right in users’ pockets, we’re helping families save time and money on every shopping trip.”
The launch of SmartShop adds to AppSwarm’s growing portfolio of AI-powered applications released throughout 2025 and 2026. In May 2025, the company launched AskOptima, an AI-powered search engine that uses natural language processing for conversational search. Other 2025 releases include the zombie shooter game Zombie Survival: Rise of the Undead Shooter, the cocktail-making app BARAI (which also launched on Android in May 2026), the travel safety app Travel Safe | Guide, and the wellness app Health Note | CALMI.
In 2026, AppSwarm released AniPet on iOS in January, with an Android version launching in April. AniPet uses AI to identify animals from photos. The company’s cross-platform strategy, including Android releases for BARAI and AniPet, signals an effort to reach a broader user base.
AppSwarm, based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, specializes in accelerated development and publishing of mobile applications. The company’s focus on AI-driven tools reflects a broader industry trend toward leveraging artificial intelligence for everyday consumer needs. The release of SmartShop, with its real-time price comparison capabilities, could impact how consumers approach grocery shopping, potentially shifting purchasing habits and influencing competition among retailers.
For consumers, the app offers a practical tool to combat inflation and rising food prices. By providing instant price comparisons, SmartShop enables users to make informed decisions without manually checking multiple store ads or websites. The app’s location-based results and map view further streamline the shopping experience, potentially saving both time and money.
SmartShop is now available for download on the Apple App Store. The company has not announced an Android release date for this specific app.
