Georgia's Ekalata Price Comparison Portal Launches Android and iOS Apps: 16 Retail Chains in One Place

On 8 October 2026, the Competition and Consumer Protection Agency of Georgia announced that its price comparison portal ekalata.gov.ge is now available as mobile apps for Android and iOS. The portal itself was launched at the end of June 2026 on the government's initiative.

What the app does

According to the agency, the apps let you compare prices across retail chains in one place, put together your own shopping basket and calculate how much you can save. A geolocation feature shows the nearest branch of each store.

• Food products: 13 basic items
• Non-food products: 10 everyday items
• Retail chains: 16 of the largest in the country
• Price updates: ongoing, based on data from the chains

How prices changed in September

The agency also published figures for September. Between the start and the end of the month, the cheapest basket of 13 basic food products fell in price by 4.4%, and the cheapest basket of 10 non-food items by 5.3%.

Groceries are one of the main monthly items in the cost of living in Georgia, and annual inflation in the country stayed at 5.6% in September.

Limitations

The comparison covers only the goods on the agency's list, not the full range of a supermarket. The agency's announcement does not say which languages the apps support. The portal started as a short-term measure, and the agency says it plans to add new features and services.
