Smart Price Intelligence for Modern Shoppers
FoxFinds is a price intelligence product that helps shoppers avoid fake discounts by tracking historical prices across major online retailers.
The product currently operates as a browser extension with plans for mobile expansion, supporting informed purchase decisions in real world shopping scenarios.
Navigating Fake Discounts & Misleading Urgency
E-commerce environments often rely on artificial urgency and deceptive markdown pricing, leaving shoppers without historical context.
Price manipulation and trust
Shoppers frequently encounter misleading discounts where prices are artificially raised before sales events, making it difficult to judge real value.
Fragmented comparison experience
Users had to manually compare prices across multiple sites and rely on unreliable deal badges with no historical context.
Platform constraints
Mobile platforms restrict real-time price tracking, forcing early design decisions around browser-based workflows without degrading the core value proposition.
The Product Approach
Our strategy focused on transparent price history visualization, low-friction tracking, and validating data accuracy on desktop prior to mobile expansion.
Historical price intelligence
Designed a clear and readable price history visualization that surfaces trends, lowest price points, and volatility instead of focusing only on current discounts.
Lightweight tracking workflow
Created a low-friction save and track interaction that works in the background while users shop, avoiding interruption and cognitive overload.
Platform-first strategy
Intentionally launched as a desktop browser extension to validate demand and data accuracy before expanding into mobile experiences.
Designing the FoxFinds Workflow
The user experience provides seamless price history verification, trend analysis, background item tracking, and confident purchasing decisions.
Your Alerts, Your Control
Surfacing instant price drop notifications, customized alert thresholds, and tracking preferences so users never miss a price drop.
Track Price Trends & Set Smart Alerts
Visualizing price fluctuation history, lowest recorded prices, and historical trend lines to help shoppers identify real deals versus artificial sale markdowns.
Design Outcome
Real user adoption
FoxFinds is actively used by early adopters to track prices across Amazon and BestBuy, with growing historical data coverage.
Behavior change
Users reported delaying purchases after seeing price patterns, avoiding impulse buys driven by artificial urgency.
Scalable foundation
The data model and UX patterns were designed to support future features such as alerts, retailer expansion, and community-driven deal validation.
