I ran across this post on the CBC that names a few apps to help people find Canadian products: https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/buying-canadian-shopping-apps-barcode-scanners-1.7463039

  • Shop Canadian
  • Buy Beaver
  • O SCANada
  • Maple Scan

I'm curious if anyone has tried any of these and how useful (or not!) you've found them.

I use Buy Beaver pretty extensively. It's community based so it's evolving and obviously not perfect, there are many duplicates, often alternatives are missing but the more it's used the better it's gonna be.

My friend uses O SCANada but I refuse to use it because its AI based
