Akrep

Akrep.com is a Turkish online product and price comparison platform. According to its own corporate description, it is a "product and price comparison engine" that indexes products listed on partner shopping sites across the internet and shows users which site sells each product and at what price. Beyond pure price comparison, the platform also functions as a discussion and information-sharing space where consumers can read product reviews, compare products and exchange knowledge before making a purchase decision. The site was founded in 2019 by Uğur Eskici, with its first test version launched on 5 March 2019. It operates under the registered Turkish slogan "aklını sev, cebini koru" (roughly, "love your mind, protect your wallet"), which frames the service as a money-saving shopping guide. By its own account, the platform serves users with more than 150 registered stores, over 3,000 categories and more than 6 million products. Akrep.com's homepage presents a broad range of consumer categories, including coffee machines, mobile phones, refrigerators, laptops, perfume, televisions and car tyres, alongside featured products and "editor's picks" spanning groceries, technology and kitchen appliances. Listed example products include the Gigaset A170 DECT phone, Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Bluetooth earphones, a Fossil JR1401 men's watch, a Regal CMI 9103 washing machine, MSI liquid CPU cooling, a Mercusys modem router, Continental winter tyres, Diesel watches, Finish dishwasher tablets, Lipton tea, Sinangil flour, Filiz pasta, Solo and Familia toilet paper, Tat tomato paste, Alcatel/TCL children's smart watches, Logitech accessories, Wiky Watch children's smart watches and the Oppo Realme Band. This mix illustrates the platform's positioning as a general-purpose comparison destination rather than a single-category specialist. On 1 January 2023 the company was accepted into Gaziantep Teknopark, and it states that it continues its R&D activities in the Teknopark area. Its stated vision is to include all trusted e-commerce stores operating in Turkey, to continuously improve its listing and search algorithm, and to optimise and develop the platform through stronger user interaction. Its stated mission is to compare any product and/or service globally, to be the most trusted source for users in its sector and the first platform consulted before a purchase decision, and to be a company that creates and develops technology rather than merely using it. The company also refers to corporate social responsibility projects aimed at protecting and improving society and the environment.

Akrep.com was founded in 2019 by Uğur Eskici. According to the company's own "About Us" page, it took its first steps with a test version on 5 March 2019. From the outset the project was conceived as an online shopping guide built around a registered Turkish slogan, "aklını sev, cebini koru" ("love your mind, protect your wallet"), positioning the service as a tool for budget-conscious shoppers. The core of the service is a product and price comparison engine. It indexes products offered on partner shopping sites on the internet and shows users which site sells a given product and at what price. In addition to price comparison, the platform was designed as a discussion and information-sharing space where consumers can read product reviews, compare products and exchange information. By its own account, the platform has grown to serve users with more than 150 registered stores, over 3,000 categories and more than 6 million products. Its homepage reflects a broad, general-merchandise scope, with categories such as coffee machines, mobile phones, refrigerators, laptops, perfume, televisions and car tyres, and featured products ranging from electronics and appliances to groceries, household paper products and children's smart watches. On 1 January 2023, Akrep.com was accepted into Gaziantep Teknopark, and the company states that it continues its R&D activities in the Teknopark area. The company describes its vision as including all trusted e-commerce stores operating in Turkey within its platform, continuously improving its listing and search algorithm, and then raising user interaction to a higher level while continuously optimising and developing the platform. Its mission is framed as comparing any product and/or service globally, providing the most trusted source for users in its sector and becoming the first platform consulted before the decision stage, as well as being a company that creates and develops technology rather than merely using it, and becoming the first and last link in the real-time decision-making chain through the technology it creates. The company also states that it is aware of its social responsibility to protect, develop and improve society and the environment, and refers to corporate social responsibility projects.
