IAC/InterActive has launched Pronto, a comparison shopping service.

Pronto is downloadable on the user’s PC.

The Pronto Help page says: “The Pronto service makes it easy for you to find the best deals on the web while shopping online. Whenever you shop for a product online, we automatically begin to search for the following:
“¢ Other merchants selling the same product so you can compare prices
“¢ Similar items
“¢ Merchant offers.” [Source]

Pronto allows a user to compare price and products online. Pronto also allows a user to track prices of a particular product and alerts users when the price of a product has dropped.

Pronto uses Message Toast to display messages as search results. The messages displayed are:

a) Price Comparison Message Toast: This message is displayed when Pronto has detected multiple vendors of the same product.
b) Similar Items Message Toast: This message is displayed when Pronto has detected similar products to the one being searched for.
c) Merchant Offer Message Toast: This message is displayed when Pronto has detected an offer made by a merchant on the product being searched for.

Users can also search for products directly from the Pronto application.
