Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, PricePal is completely free for consumers. There are no subscription fees, no hidden charges, and no premium tier. This is a government-backed initiative to make grocery shopping more affordable for every Bahamian. Download it, use it, and start saving immediately.

Over 70 stores across 5 Bahamian islands are currently covered, including major chains like Super Value, Solomon's Fresh Market, and many more. Prices are collected by government inspectors and verified regularly. Retailers can also register their stores through the Retailer Admin Panel to manage their own pricing directly.

The platform currently tracks 152+ essential breadbasket items — the everyday groceries that matter most to Bahamian families. This includes rice, flour, sugar, cooking oil, canned goods, dairy products, and many more staples. The product catalog is expanding regularly.

Prices are maintained through a three-layer verification system: (1) Retailers update their own prices through the Admin Panel, (2) Government inspectors verify shelf prices using the Shelf App during store visits, and (3) Consumers can report price discrepancies with photo evidence. This combination ensures the most accurate pricing data possible.

Absolutely. PricePal collects minimal personal data and is fully compliant with the Bahamas Data Protection Act. We don't sell your data to third parties. Your shopping lists and price alerts are stored securely and only accessible to you. You can use the app without creating an account for basic price comparisons.

Visit the Retailer Admin Panel to register your business. The process takes just a few minutes: create your account, add your store locations, and start uploading your product prices. Multi-store retailers can manage all locations from a single dashboard. Registration is free.

No — price transparency benefits businesses of all sizes. Small stores compete on convenience, service, location, and community relationships — not just price. Many small retailers find that joining the platform increases their visibility and brings in new customers who might not have found them otherwise.

Use the Report feature directly in the PricePal app. You can flag any price discrepancy with photo evidence from the store shelf. Your report goes directly to Consumer Affairs for review. This crowd-sourced verification helps keep the platform accurate for everyone.
