"Simple Price Comparison" is a price calculation app that instantly shows you the best deal by simply entering the price and quantity, and calculating the unit price for items like tissues and toilet paper, which often have varying quantities and are difficult to compare.
It was designed for quick, one-handed use in supermarkets and drugstores.

- Kitchen paper is compared by price per sheet.
- Other items (detergent, shampoo, plastic wrap, garbage bags, diapers, food, drinks, etc.) are compared by price per entered quantity.
