Bites - Price Compare
Dylan Steiner
Bites — Compare real food prices, nearby.
Stop guessing what dinner will cost. Bites is a crowdsourced price-comparison app for food lovers — real, dated prices reported by real people, all in one place, so you know what something costs before you order.
Bites is live in Cape Town first, with more cities opening soon. Search works anywhere, and outside Cape Town you'll see a heads-up where fewer prices have been added so far.
HOW IT WORKS
Search for what you're craving — burger, pizza, coffee — and see prices reported by real people nearby, sorted the way you want: cheapest, closest, best value, top rated, or most recently verified. Typo-tolerant search finds what you mean even when you misspell it, and searching a restaurant by name pulls up its whole tracked menu.
REAL PRICES, NOT GUESSES
Every price comes from someone who actually paid it, never an estimate. Each one is dated and shows how fresh it is (Verified, Recent, Older, or Needs Verification), so you always know how much to trust it. Track how a dish's price has changed over time, not just what it costs today.
SNAP AND SAVE
Got a receipt or a menu photo? Snap it and Bites reads the item, price and date for you automatically, then asks you to confirm before anything is saved, so you're always in control of what gets added.
DELIVERY VS IN-PERSON
See exactly how much more delivery costs. Bites compares delivery-app prices against in-person prices for the same item, so you know how much you'd save by eating in.
THE SNACKING FEED
Log every bite with a photo, rating and vibe tags, and choose whether it's public or just for you. Follow other food lovers, and once you follow each other you're Bites friends. Plan a bite with friends in Plans: pick a day, add dishes or whole restaurants, see the route on a map and invite anyone with a link.
YOUR FOOD DIARY
Every price you log builds your personal food diary, complete with a calendar view and a monthly recap of your best value finds, biggest splurges, longest streaks and new places tried.
STAY ON BUDGET
Set a monthly food budget and watch it update as you log meals. Remove anything that shouldn't count, and see exactly where your money went.
CONTRIBUTE AND BUILD A REPUTATION
Submit prices yourself and earn recognition, from Price Scout up to Price Master, as your contributions help keep the data trustworthy for everyone. Climb the leaderboard globally or among your friends, and build a streak by logging regularly.
33+ FOOD CATEGORIES
From burgers and pizza to local favourites like Kota, Bunny Chow, Braai and Pap & Vleis, browse by the food you actually crave.
BITES FOR BUSINESS
Verified restaurant pages carry official, business-confirmed prices, and a deals filter surfaces picks chosen for you.
BUILT ON TRUST
Report or block anyone, and every report reaches a real moderator, because a public feed only works when the community keeps it kind.
Menu prices change, delivery apps mark things up, and nobody has time to check five different sites before deciding where to eat. Bites puts real, dated, sourced prices in one place, so next time you're craving a burger, you'll know exactly where to get it and what it'll actually cost.
