Bide, the price watcher that knows when to stay quiet

Field notes

Bide describes a product gallery rather than a conventional deal feed: users add an exact item, and the service keeps a price record while checking the retailer page and other Australian stores. Its rules exclude crossed-out prices, uncertain matches, and unverified estimates; it can also surface a store-reading problem instead of presenting stale data as fact. The homepage says Free checks daily and Premium hourly, but access is currently limited to a closed iPhone beta.
