Profital or Schnäppchen Jäger: which one helps with what?

What Profital does better

If this page only said good things about us, you could close it right away. So here is where Profital is the better choice.

• There is a real app for iPhone and Android. We have none, everything here runs in a browser.
• More than 100 retailers from almost every trade: DIY, furniture, electronics, clothes, pharmacy, petrol station, restaurant. We only have groceries from five chains.
• A message on your phone as soon as a favourite shop publishes a new brochure. We do not send those.
• Branches and opening hours near you. We cannot do that at all.
• Free, and no account needed. Without an account you get five searches a day here.
• It replaces the pile of paper in your letterbox, and that is what users praise it for most often.

What Schnäppchen Jäger is built for

• Search for one product and see the price at five supermarkets side by side. On 7 September 2026 we held 21,736 products with a price.
• Price per kilo and per litre, so the 500 gram pack and the one kilo pack become comparable. That is the number that matters when you compare.
• A shopping list that tells you which shop is cheapest for the whole basket.
• Coop is included here. The Coop supermarket does not appear in the retailer list on Profital's Play Store page of 24 August 2026.
• No advertising. The site is paid for by the people who use it, not by the shops. Nobody can buy their way to the top of a result.

What we cannot do

• We have no app, neither in the App Store nor on Google Play.
• No notifications on your phone. We send you an email when something on your list gets cheaper, and only on the paid plan.
• Groceries only, and only Migros, Lidl, Coop, Aldi and Denner. DIY, furniture and electronics are not here.
• Our coverage is very uneven. On 7 September 2026 we held 14,730 products from Migros, 2,767 from Lidl, 2,279 from Coop, 1,746 from Aldi and only 214 from Denner. If you cannot find something, it is usually missing from us rather than from the shop.
• We read prices from each chain's own online shop. That is not the price on the shelf in your branch, and it may have changed since we read it.
• Cumulus, Supercard and other loyalty cards are not connected here.
• Without an account you get five searches a day, with a free account twenty. No daily limit costs CHF 2 a month.

What users write about Profital

We quote in the original language and link to the store so you can read for yourself. The most frequent complaint is exactly the point at issue here: the search finds brochures, not individual products. The praise is mostly for getting rid of the paper in the letterbox.

• «Die Suche ist nun wieder da. Leider kann nicht nach einzelnen Produkten gesucht werden, sondern nur nach Prospekten. Wäre toll, wenn auch diese Funktion wieder kommt. So wäre der Vergleich viel einfacher.»

• «Mit der App kann man nicht gezielt Aktionen von bestimmten Produkten suchen. ZB wo sind aktuell Taschentücher Aktion. Das Durchblättern von all den Katalogen ist aufwändig und braucht Zeit.»

• «was a so good tool to search a product in the multi flyer from coop Migros Denner otto etc… but now, no more products searching…»

• «Schwach: wichtige Anbieter wie COOP, Landi, Hornbach und ähnliche sind (noch?) nicht auf der App.»

  Reply from Bring! Labs AG, July 30, 2026

  «Bei der Anzeige passender Angebote sind wir auf die Zusammenarbeit mit den Händlern und eine korrekte Datenübermittlung angewiesen. Unser Team arbeitet laufend daran, die Verfügbarkeit zu verbessern.»

• «Kein Papierkram mehr, alles übersichtlich elektronisch. Sehr gut.»

• «Meine Familie lässt sich seit Jahren von den Prospekten für den Wocheneinkauf inspirieren und wir haben dadurch schon viele Produkte und Geschäfte gefunden, die wir davor nicht kannten.»

For context: Profital has 4.6 out of 5 from 10,806 ratings in the App Store and 3.9 out of 5 from 6,110 ratings on Google Play (checked 7 September 2026). Single voices are not the whole picture.

Prices change, on both sides

Both services show prices that were read at some point in the past. Profital's terms of use say it does not answer for errors or incomplete information. The same is true here. The till is what counts. If a few francs are at stake, check in the shop.
