About

Scoot the grid.

Gridscoot is Australian price comparison built for the era of AI agents. Ask your agent for the cheapest in-stock retailer for a product and it asks us; we return a clean, structured answer.

01Why it exists

Most price-comparison sites are funded by paid placement and homepage ad slots. Their rankings reflect who pays, not who's cheapest. Their price histories — when they have them — are short and noisy.

Agents change the surface. The human asks the agent, the agent asks us, we return a structured answer. There's no ad slot to defend. The product can be honest by construction.

02How it works
03How we make money

Affiliate commissions, paid by the retailer when you buy through a link on this site. Your purchase price is unchanged whether you click through us or visit the retailer directly — the commission comes out of the retailer's margin, not your pocket.

We never reorder results to favour higher-commission retailers. Ranking is algorithmic and the algorithm is described above; if you'd like to verify, every result returns the same data via the REST API and the MCP, so independent audits are trivial.

04Retailers covered

Early access. The catalogue today is a demo populated with synthetic Australian product data so an agent can exercise every tool — search, compare, price-history, stock, retailer directory, alerts. Real-retailer onboarding starts with eBay Australia (live ingest in progress), with Commission Factory partners and Amazon Associates Australia in flight pending program approvals. The full live list is available at /api/v1/retailers and updates as each retailer goes live.

05What we will and won't do
Honest ranking
No paid placement, no hidden reordering. If the API returns it, the product surfaces it.
Agent-first
The MCP server is the product; the website is a side surface.
Minimal data
We collect as little as possible. The details are at /privacy.
Australian-focused
Prices in AUD, retailers shipping within Australia, content tuned for AU consumers.
06Status

Early access. The end-to-end (matching, 365-day history schema, MCP transport, REST surface, anonymous demo, auth) is wired and exercisable today — every tool runs, every endpoint answers. The catalogue itself is the part still growing: today it is an illustrative demo with synthetic AU products; live-retailer data comes online as each affiliate program approves us. The install instructions on the landing page work today; the same agent experience kicks in unchanged once the catalogue fills out.
