Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about ShopSmartAI.
Is ShopSmartAI free to use?
Yes, completely free. We earn a small affiliate commission from retailers when you make a purchase — this never affects the price you pay.
How often are prices updated?
Prices are updated in real-time from retailer databases. However, prices can change rapidly, so always verify the final price on the retailer's website before buying.
Do you sell products directly?
No. ShopSmartAI is a price comparison service only. All purchases are completed directly on the retailer's website.
Which retailers do you cover?
We currently compare prices from Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, Newegg, and more. We're constantly adding new retailers.
How does the AI search work?
Our AI understands natural language queries. You can search by product name, brand, features, or even a description like "waterproof bluetooth speaker under $50".
Can I set price alerts?
Yes — every part page, build result, and product detail has a "Track price" button. Enter your email and a target price; we email you the moment any retailer drops below it. No account needed for guest alerts (5 active max), or sign in for unlimited.
Is my data safe?
Yes. We never sell your personal data. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
How do affiliate links work?
When you click a product link and buy from a retailer, we earn a small commission. This is disclosed in our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
