Yroo provides users with all shopping information in one platform, such as side by side price comparison, price history tracking and aggregated product reviews.[1][2][3][4]
History[edit]
Yroo was founded in 2015 by James Cunningham and Nick Zhu. The company has raised $14M in funding to date. In less than two years, Yroo has partnered with over 4,000 merchants and all major marketplaces including Amazon.[5][6]
From 2016 and onward, Yroo announced an expansion to supports its operation in over 35 countries where transactions were being carried out on its platform.[7][8][9][10][11]
In 2017, Yroo launched a mobile app for in-store price comparisons.[12][13]
Yroo started as a loyalty website with a reward based referral program where users could earn points for making purchases or referring friends, which could then be redeemed for cash. This program was later dropped in order to focus on the company’s core features.
