eezly 3.0 Is Here: 2,700 Stores, 28 Banners, 40 Million Prices a Week

eezly 3.0 is live.

After one year of rebuilding from the ground up, eezly is back — not as a better version of the same tool, but as a fundamentally different product. What started as a price lookup app is now a complete weekly grocery operating system: it checks every price at every major store in Canada, plans your meals around what is cheapest this week, and tells you exactly where to shop before you leave home.

eezly now tracks prices on 196,000+ products across 2,700 Canadian grocery stores and 28 banners — updated every week. That coverage is what makes the rest of the app possible: when the pricing data is complete and current, the meal plans, multi-store cart splits, and deal rankings all work from the same accurate picture of what your groceries actually cost this week.

The gap this closes is bigger than most shoppers realize. The same item can cost 30–40% more at one Canadian banner than another in the same week, and most people never find out until they get home. eezly 3.0 closes that gap before you leave the house.

eezly 3.0 is available today on the web at app.eezly.com. The iOS and Android apps roll out to the App Store and Google Play in the coming days.

Why We Went Quiet for a Year

If you signed up for the original eezly, you noticed something: we went quiet. No updates, no blog posts, no emails. For about a year, eezly was effectively dark.

Here is what actually happened.

The original eezly was a price comparison tool. You could search for a product and see which store had it cheaper. That is useful — but it is a narrow answer to a much bigger question. The question most Canadians are actually asking on Sunday afternoon is not "what is the price of butter at Maxi?" It is: what should my family eat this week, and where should I buy all of it to spend the least?

Answering that question properly is a different engineering problem entirely. It requires a meal planning engine that knows live prices, not just recipes. It requires a cart model that understands multi-store splits — not just the cheapest store for one item, but the cheapest combination of stores for a full basket. It requires price tracking deep enough to distinguish a real deal from a retailer inflating the "regular" price before a sale.

We could have bolted those features onto the existing app. We chose not to. We rebuilt eezly from scratch — the data pipeline, the recommendation engine, the pricing model, the app itself — so that every feature connects correctly. The year of silence was that rebuild.

eezly 3.0 is what we built.

What eezly 3.0 Does

Weekly Meal Planning Around This Week's Prices

Most meal planning apps pick recipes based on what sounds good or what fits a dietary profile. eezly does something different: it picks recipes based on what the ingredients actually cost at your stores this week.

Tell eezly how many people you are feeding, any dietary preferences or allergies, and your weekly grocery budget. eezly generates a full week of dinners where the ingredients are on sale or at a seasonal low at the stores closest to you — right now. Not a national average. Not last month's prices. This week's prices, from your nearest Maxi, No Frills, Loblaws, or Safeway.

When chicken thighs are $4.99 at Maxi and $7.49 at IGA this week, your meal plan is built around chicken at $4.99. When they flip next week, the plan adjusts. The meal plan stays accurate because the prices it is built on reflect what the stores are charging right now.

From the meal plan, eezly builds your cart automatically — organized by store, organized by aisle, and shareable with your household in real time if you are on Pro.

Multi-Store Shopping Strategy

Here is a pattern most Canadian shoppers already know intuitively but have no tool to act on: the best price on every item in your cart is almost never at the same store.

In Ontario, chicken might be cheapest at No Frills while your yogurt brand is on a deep sale at Metro and produce is best at Food Basics. Doing those comparisons manually, across 28 banners, every week, is not realistic. eezly does it automatically.

You see what your entire cart costs at each store near you — side by side. If splitting across two stores saves your household $22 this week, eezly shows you the split: what to buy at Store A, what to buy at Store B, and what the total comes to. You decide whether the extra stop is worth it. eezly just does the math.

30,000+ Deals a Week, Sorted by Real Value

The deals feed in eezly surfaces more than 30,000 promotions a week across every banner it covers. They are not sorted by what retailers want to push. They are sorted by how good the price actually is — ranked against the item's regular price, its historical price range, and its price at competing banners right now.

This distinction matters. A product that is "on sale" for $5.99 at Metro is not necessarily a deal if Super C has it at $4.49 every day. eezly's ranking surfaces that. A deal badge in eezly means the price is genuinely low by any reasonable measure — not just low relative to the same store's inflated "regular" price.

Loyalty Points as Part of the Real Cost

Three major grocery loyalty programs in Canada — PC Optimum, Scene+, and Moi — are now integrated directly into eezly's price comparison. Points earned at one store are counted alongside dollar savings at another.

If buying your groceries at Loblaws this week costs $3 more than buying them at Food Basics, but the Loblaws shop earns you 600 PC Optimum points worth $0.60, eezly shows you the net gap: $2.40, not $3. Small per trip, but material over a year of weekly shops.

Every Major Canadian Grocery Store, Covered

What Is Next

The 3.0 launch is the foundation, not the finish line. The priority from here is simple: get eezly into the hands of as many Canadian shoppers as possible and listen closely to what they tell us. What works, what is missing, what is confusing, what would make them use it every week.

We are going to iterate fast on that feedback. The app you see today is version 3.0 — what you see six months from now will be shaped by what users actually ask for, not by what we assumed at launch. If you find something broken, or something that should exist but does not, tell us. We will fix it.

If you want to try eezly, it is live today on the web at app.eezly.com — free, no sign-up required to start exploring. The iOS and Android apps arrive in the App Store and Google Play in the coming days. If you have feedback, reach us directly at support@eezly.com.
