Pricelocal founder Matt Chosid says the app is designed for people who mostly shop online but want an item in real time or want to support a local business.

Customers can find a product they like on Amazon.com then click on the Pricelocal button and wait for a response from a local store that matches the amazon price.

Pricelocal launched nationally last month, following a pilot test in Michigan last year.

According to Chosid, since rolling out the product thousands of people and hundreds of retailers across the country have joined the Pricelocal program.
