Price Comparison: AliExpress, eBay, Walmart, Etsy

Marketplace Price Comparison: AliExpress, eBay, Walmart, Etsy – one keyword, one table, no personal data

• What you get: a price comparison of the best-matching products of AliExpress, eBay, Walmart and Etsy for each keyword, in one dataset with the same columns everywhere (price, currency, shipping, rating, units sold, seller kind, image, link, marketplace, rank), plus the lowest, median and highest price per marketplace. No login, no cookies, no personal data.
• For whom: online sellers and dropshippers sourcing or pricing a product, price-comparison sites, market analysts, shoppers' tools and AI agents through MCP.
• How much: a fixed price per product row and nothing else (compute and proxy traffic included, see the Pricing tab); maxResultsPerMarketplace caps every run.

This price comparison scraper searches AliExpress, eBay, Walmart and Etsy for the same keywords in one run to compare prices across marketplaces, and returns one flat row per product, with the same columns whatever the marketplace: price and currency, strike-through price and discount, free shipping or shipping cost, delivery estimate, rating and number of reviews, units sold, seller kind, image and link, plus the marketplace it comes from and its rank there. A summary per keyword and marketplace gives the number of products, the lowest, median and highest price and the cheapest offer, and the cheapest offer across marketplaces. Choose the country (10 countries: each marketplace's local site, prices in the local currency), new or used items and a price range.

No personal data, by design. Product cards carry no information about buyers; review texts and their authors are never collected, only the average rating and the number of reviews. Sellers are named only when they are the platform itself or a registered business; private sellers and Etsy shops are never identified. Every row goes through a privacy filter before it is saved. The dataset is safe to store, share and feed to AI agents.

What can you do with a cross-marketplace price comparison?

• Source and price a product: see at a glance what wireless earbuds, air fryers or phone cases cost on AliExpress, eBay and Walmart, how much shipping adds and which listings actually sell (units sold, ratings).
• Watch competitors across channels: schedule the same keywords daily and follow the lowest and median price of each marketplace in the SUMMARY record.
• Feed a price-comparison page or an AI assistant with one stable table instead of four different scrapers and schemas.
• Study a market: price spread between a sourcing marketplace (AliExpress) and retail marketplaces (Walmart, eBay), handmade alternatives on Etsy, share of sponsored results.

What data does Marketplace Price Comparison return?

Every row has every column: a value a marketplace does not show in its results is null (or [] / {} for lists and objects), so CSV and Excel exports keep the same columns from run to run. The columns are those of the studio's shared e-commerce schema (ecommerce-product/1.1, also returned by our AliExpress, eBay and Etsy scrapers) plus marketplace and rankInMarketplace.

Group	Columns
Comparison	marketplace, searchQuery, rankInMarketplace
Identity	schemaVersion, platform, platformProductId, variantId, url, title, brand, category, categoryPath
Prices	currency, price, originalPrice, discountPercent, inStock, stockQuantity
Popularity	rating, ratingMax, reviewCount, soldCount, isBestSeller, isChoice, listedAt
Seller	storeType, storeName, storeId, storeUrl, storeRating
Shipping	shippingFree, shippingCost, deliveryEstimate, shipsFrom
Media and attributes	imageUrl, imageCount, attributes
Search context	isSponsored, searchRank, searchPage, viewCountryCode, scrapedAt
Price monitoring	changeType, previousPrice, priceDelta, priceDeltaPercent (columns of the shared schema, always null for this Actor)

What each marketplace shows in its results differs, and the row says so with null rather than a guess:

Marketplace	Usually filled	Sometimes	Empty
AliExpress	price, originalPrice, discountPercent, rating, soldCount, shipsFrom, isChoice, listedAt	shippingFree, deliveryEstimate, isBestSeller	brand, category, inStock, reviewCount, shippingCost
eBay	price, inStock, shippingFree, shipsFrom, soldCount, attributes.condition	originalPrice, shippingCost, deliveryEstimate, rating, reviewCount, brand	category, listedAt
Walmart	price, inStock, rating, reviewCount, category, categoryPath, isBestSeller, deliveryEstimate, attributes.condition	originalPrice, brand (walmart.ca)	soldCount, shipsFrom, listedAt, shippingFree
Etsy	price, rating, reviewCount	inStock, shippingFree, originalPrice	soldCount, brand, category, deliveryEstimate, storeName

rankInMarketplace is the position of the product among the rows this run returns for its keyword on its marketplace (1 to maxResultsPerMarketplace, in the marketplace's best-match order, after your filters); searchRank is its position in the marketplace's own result list, sponsored products included. marketplace is the value of the marketplaces input that found the product (equal to platform).

Marketplaces, countries and currencies

country picks each marketplace's site for that country; prices are in the currency of that site. AliExpress ships to every country of the list and shows the currency you ask for.

country	AliExpress	eBay	Walmart	Etsy	Currency
US	ships to US	ebay.com	walmart.com	etsy.com	USD
GB	ships to GB (not verified)	ebay.co.uk	—	etsy.com/uk	GBP
CA	ships to CA (not verified)	ebay.ca (not verified)	walmart.ca	etsy.com/ca (not verified)	CAD
AU	ships to AU (not verified)	ebay.com.au (not verified)	—	etsy.com/au (not verified)	AUD
DE	ships to DE (not verified)	ebay.de	—	etsy.com/de (not verified)	EUR
FR	ships to FR	ebay.fr	—	etsy.com/fr	EUR
IT	ships to IT (not verified)	ebay.it (not verified)	—	etsy.com/it (not verified)	EUR
ES	ships to ES (not verified)	ebay.es (not verified)	—	etsy.com/es (not verified)	EUR
NL	ships to NL (not verified)	ebay.nl (not verified)	—	etsy.com/nl (not verified)	EUR
IE	ships to IE (not verified)	—	—	etsy.com/ie (not verified)	EUR

"Not verified" sites follow each marketplace's public conventions and were not read when this Actor was built: the run says so in its log and in the summary. A marketplace without a site for the country (—) is not searched and is reported as not-served. eBay is searched for fixed-price ("Buy It Now") listings only: the current bid of an auction is not a price to compare.

How to compare prices across marketplaces

1. Enter search keywords, one per line ("wireless earbuds", "air fryer"). Each keyword is compared separately.
2. Choose the marketplaces (AliExpress, eBay and Walmart by default; add Etsy for handmade, vintage and gift products) and the country.
3. Set the number of products per marketplace (20 by default) and, if needed, the condition (new or used) and a price range.
4. Run and open the Output tab: the Comparison view puts title, marketplace, price, shipping, rating, sales and link side by side, the Summary view lists keyword, marketplace and rank; the SUMMARY record gives the price figures per marketplace. Export everything as JSON, CSV, Excel or through the API.

Input

Give at least one keyword in searchQueries (with nothing at all, "wireless earbuds" is compared on AliExpress, eBay and Walmart). Field names and defaults are those of the input form.

The input of our validation run: two keywords on the four marketplaces, 20 products each, US prices in USD (every other field keeps its default):

{
  "searchQueries": [
    "wireless earbuds",
    "ceramic mug"
  ],
  "marketplaces": [
    "aliexpress",
    "ebay",
    "walmart",
    "etsy"
  ],
  "maxResultsPerMarketplace": 20,
  "country": "US",
  "currency": "USD"
}

Every field, with its type and default:

Field	Type	Default	Description
searchQueries	string[]	["wireless earbuds"]	Product words to search on every marketplace, one search per entry. Etsy only has results for common product words ("ceramic mug").
marketplaces	string[]	["aliexpress","ebay","walmart"]	Any of aliexpress, ebay, walmart, etsy, all searched in the same run.
maxResultsPerMarketplace	integer	20	Products per keyword and per marketplace (1 to 500). You are never charged for more than keywords × marketplaces × this number. Prefilled with 10 in the form.
country	string	"US"	One of US, GB, CA, AU, DE, FR, IT, ES, NL, IE: the site of each marketplace for that country (see the table above). UK is accepted for GB.
currency	string	—	ISO currency code to compare prices in. Empty: the currency of the country. AliExpress shows any currency; eBay, Walmart and Etsy show the currency of their site.
condition	string	"any"	any, new or used. Sent to eBay's search filter and checked on the condition labels of eBay and Walmart products. AliExpress and Etsy show no condition: kept for new, not searched for used.
priceMin	number	—	Minimum price in the currency of the results. Sent to each marketplace's own price filter where it has one (AliExpress, eBay, Walmart), then checked on every product returned.
priceMax	number	—	Maximum price, at least priceMin, same rules as priceMin.
proxyConfiguration	object	{"useApifyProxy":true}	Keep the default: each marketplace then uses the proxy configuration validated for it, included in the price. A proxy group or your own proxy URLs set here apply to every marketplace.

Output example

One real row, produced by the Actor from a "wireless earbuds" search on AliExpress for the United States (the first product of the results). All columns are present, in this order, for every product of every marketplace:

{
  "schemaVersion": "ecommerce-product/1.1",

  "changeType": null,
  "previousPrice": null,
  "priceDelta": null,
  "priceDeltaPercent": null
}

price is the price displayed in the results, shipping not included (shippingFree, shippingCost); originalPrice is the strike-through price when the marketplace shows one and discountPercent the percentage off. The last four columns belong to the shared schema and stay null for this Actor.

The Output tab offers two views of the same rows: Comparison (title, marketplace, price, currency, free shipping, shipping cost, delivery, rating, reviews, units sold, link) and Summary (keyword, marketplace, rank, price, currency, rating, units sold, sponsored, title, link).

Summary per keyword and marketplace

The run also writes a SUMMARY record to its default key-value store (Output tab → Summary per keyword and marketplace, or GET /v2/key-value-stores/<store>/records/SUMMARY). Its searches list holds one entry per keyword; here is the entry of the same "wireless earbuds" run on AliExpress, eBay and Walmart (20 products each):

}

• Per keyword: searchQuery, count (products of all marketplaces) and cheapest, the lowest price across the marketplaces whose prices are in the compared currency.
• Per keyword and marketplace (marketplaces): status, count, currency, pricedCount (the products the figures are computed on), newShopperDeals, priceMin, priceMedian, priceMax, cheapest (marketplace, title, price, currency, url, platformProductId) and message (why a marketplace returned nothing for this keyword).
• Prices are compared as displayed, shipping not included, and only within one currency: no exchange rate is ever applied. AliExpress shows part of its cards at a welcome-deal price for first-time buyers only (attributes.newShopperDeal, more than half of a US search): those rows stay in the dataset but are left out of the figures (newShopperDeals counts them), so that priceMin and cheapest are prices anybody can pay.
• The record also gives the run's country, currency, condition, priceMin, priceMax, maxResultsPerMarketplace and products, and per marketplace (top-level marketplaces): status, site, currency, verified, proxyTier, products, filteredOut (products left out by the price range or the condition), requests, blocked, errors, durationMs and message.
• status is ok (products returned), empty (searched, nothing matched), blocked (the marketplace refused the requests), failed (the crawl stopped on an error), not-served (no site for the country) or skipped (used items on AliExpress or Etsy, which show no condition, or a marketplace whose turn came after your spending limit was reached).

How much does it cost?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: you pay a fixed price per product row saved to your dataset, whatever the marketplace, and nothing else. The price of every plan tier is on the Pricing tab of this page.

What you pay for	How it is counted	Price
result event: one product row saved to your dataset	once per product, capped by keywords × marketplaces × maxResultsPerMarketplace	Pricing tab, per plan tier
Compute, proxies, storage and data transfer	included: no platform usage is passed on to you	—

The cost of a run is known before you start: the default input (one keyword, three marketplaces, 20 products each) returns at most 60 rows. A marketplace that returns nothing costs nothing.

Limits and behaviour worth knowing

• Marketplaces run two at a time, each with its own browsing session per keyword. The default input reads one result page per marketplace and usually finishes in under a minute; a few hundred products per marketplace take a few minutes (Walmart pauses between pages to stay polite).
• One marketplace failing does not stop the others. If it is blocked, fails or finds nothing, its status and the reason are in the log and in the SUMMARY record. The run fails only when no marketplace returned any product, so that a broken run is never reported as a success.
• A product found by two of your keywords on the same marketplace appears once, under the first keyword. Products are deduplicated within each marketplace by their id.
• A search stopped halfway is retried once. When a marketplace refuses a keyword's pages even after a new session, the keyword is searched once more from its first page on new sessions: the products already saved are neither saved nor charged again, and the retry stops as soon as the keyword has its products.
• Etsy has results only for common product words (it reads Etsy's market pages, e.g. "ceramic mug"); for other words it returns nothing and says so for that keyword.
• The price range is applied twice: by the marketplace's own filter (AliExpress rounds to whole amounts, Walmart rounds its bounds, eBay's filter is not verified yet) and on every product returned, so rows outside your range never reach the dataset; a narrow range may give fewer products than asked.
• The condition is filtered by eBay (new: verified; used: not verified yet) and read on Walmart's pre-owned labels. AliExpress and Etsy show no condition: their products are kept for new (they are mostly new items) and not searched for used.
• Sort order: each marketplace's own best-match order; sponsored products are kept and flagged in isSponsored.

Integrations and API

Get the results from the Output tab (JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS) or automatically: Apify API, webhooks, scheduled runs and integrations with Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, n8n, Slack and others. For bugs or questions, open an issue in the Issues tab with your run id and input.

Use it from your AI assistant

Add this Actor as a tool to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client with the Apify MCP server URL below (sign in with your Apify account when asked):

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=myth84/marketplace-price-compare-scraper

Then ask in plain words. Copy this prompt and change the details:

Use myth84/marketplace-price-compare-scraper to compare the price of an air fryer on AliExpress, eBay and Walmart in the US, new items only. Input: {"searchQueries": ["air fryer"], "marketplaces": ["aliexpress", "ebay", "walmart"], "maxResultsPerMarketplace": 10, "condition": "new"}. Show the lowest and median price per marketplace from the SUMMARY record, then the five cheapest products with marketplace, price, shipping and link.

For AI agents (MCP)

Through the Apify MCP server this Actor is a tool that answers questions such as "compare the price of wireless earbuds on AliExpress, eBay and Walmart" or "where is an air fryer cheapest in the US, new, under 100 dollars?".

Minimal input (every other field keeps its default; raise maxResultsPerMarketplace only when the question needs more rows):

{
  "searchQueries": [
    "air fryer"
  ],
  "marketplaces": [
    "aliexpress",
    "ebay",
    "walmart"
  ],
  "maxResultsPerMarketplace": 10
}

• Key output fields: marketplace, searchQuery, rankInMarketplace, title, url, price, currency, originalPrice, shippingFree, shippingCost, deliveryEstimate, rating, reviewCount, soldCount, attributes.condition; the SUMMARY record gives priceMin, priceMedian, priceMax and cheapest per keyword and marketplace, and cheapest across marketplaces. Every column is always present; null means the marketplace did not show the value.
• Use it when you need current prices of the same product on several marketplaces in one call: pass searchQueries, marketplaces, optionally country, condition, priceMin / priceMax, and a small maxResultsPerMarketplace (10 to 20 is enough for an answer).
• Do not use it for product pages, reviews, seller information, Amazon, or anything behind a login: it reads public search results only and collects no personal data. For one marketplace with more options (sort orders, category filters, price monitoring), use that marketplace's own scraper (below).
• Cost per 1,000 results: 1,000 result events at the price of your plan tier (Pricing tab); nothing else is charged.
• Typical time: usually under a minute for the minimal input (one result page per marketplace, two marketplaces at once).

Alternatives and switching

• Official APIs. Each marketplace has its own developer programme, with application keys, approval, quotas and a different data model each. This Actor reads what any visitor sees in the search results of the four marketplaces, with no account, no keys and one schema.
• Four scrapers and a spreadsheet. One run replaces four: the same keyword, the same columns, the marketplace and rank added to every row, and the price figures per marketplace computed for you. Each marketplace keeps the configuration validated for it, and a marketplace that fails does not stop the others.
• Another scraper from the Store. The input names differ from one Actor to the next; the usual ones map to this Actor as follows:

Usual input	Here	Note
search, query, keyword	searchQueries	Several keywords per run, each compared separately
sites, platforms, stores	marketplaces	aliexpress, ebay, walmart, etsy
maxItems, limit	maxResultsPerMarketplace	Per keyword and per marketplace, never charged beyond
country, locale	country	US, GB, CA, AU, DE, FR, IT, ES, NL, IE
currency	currency	Empty: the currency of the country; never converted
condition	condition	any, new or used
minPrice, maxPrice	priceMin, priceMax	In the currency of the results, checked on every product
proxy	proxyConfiguration	Keep the default: proxies are included in the price

FAQ

Does it collect personal data?

No. It reads public search results without logging in and keeps product facts only: no buyer, reviewer or private-seller information, no Etsy shop names. Sellers are named only when they are the platform itself or a registered business. Every row goes through a privacy filter before it is saved.

Which marketplaces and countries are supported?

AliExpress, eBay, Walmart and Etsy, for US, GB, CA, AU, DE, FR, IT, ES, NL and IE (see Marketplaces, countries and currencies). Walmart is searched in the United States and Canada only, eBay everywhere but Ireland; a marketplace without a site for the country is reported as not-served. Amazon is not part of this Actor.

In which currency are the prices, and are they converted?

In the currency of each marketplace's site for the country (USD for the United States, GBP for the United Kingdom…). AliExpress shows the currency you ask for in currency. Prices are never converted: the summary compares prices only within one currency, and a site that shows another currency than the one you asked for is flagged in the log and the summary. eBay's proxy exits in the country of its site, so that eBay prices come in the site's currency; a product still shown in another currency (eBay converts prices for a visitor of another country) keeps the price it shows, is left out of the figures and of the cheapest offer, and is named in the message of the summary.

How much does a comparison cost, and do I pay for proxies?

You pay a fixed price per product row (Pricing tab) and nothing else: compute, proxy traffic and storage are included. The default input returns at most 60 rows; a marketplace that returns nothing costs nothing. Keep the default proxy configuration: each marketplace then uses the configuration validated for it.

Why did a marketplace return fewer products than I asked for, or none?

Your price range or condition may leave out products (filteredOut in the summary), Etsy has results only for common product words, a product found by two of your keywords appears once, and a marketplace may block a run now and then even after the automatic retry of the keyword (blocked, retry later). The SUMMARY record says why for every keyword and marketplace.

Is the lowest price really the cheapest offer?

It is the lowest displayed price, shipping not included, among the products returned: check shippingFree and shippingCost. AliExpress welcome-deal prices, reserved to first-time buyers, are left out of the summary figures but kept in the dataset with attributes.newShopperDeal.

Can I compare used items?

Yes on eBay (its "used" filter, not verified yet at build time) and on Walmart (products labelled pre-owned). AliExpress and Etsy show no condition, so they are not searched for used and are reported as skipped.

How often should I run it?

Prices and rankings change every day: schedule the same input daily or weekly and compare the SUMMARY records, or join rows on marketplace + platformProductId.

Is it legal to compare prices this way?

The Actor reads only publicly available search pages, without logging in, and collects no personal data. You are responsible for your use of the data and for complying with each marketplace's terms and the laws that apply to you.

More scrapers by Flatrow Data Studio
