PriceWatch vs PriceSpy
PriceSpy compares prices for catalogued products across listed retailers. PriceWatch monitors the exact product page you paste, even if it is not in anyone's catalogue.
What PriceSpy does
Comparison sites maintain a product catalogue and match retailer listings to it, so coverage depends on the product and the country being catalogued.
