similar? no.
At its base, geizhals is a database where much effort went into data quality. Chestr seems(to me) to be another social media site but focused on shopping.
Simple comparison (from the demo video): GH/Chestr
Comparing prices:yes/no
Filtering/sorting for a multitude of attributes:yes/no
Social component:no(at most a rating/review)/yes
Needs an account:no/yes
Focusing on information over feelings:yes/no
manually maintained entries:yes(at least I assume so, no one comes close)/no
Getting a handle on everything that exists for a type of product:yes/no
Inclusion of past prices:yes/no
To me, chestr is basically worthless. I don't care what others bought when I'm searching for something. What fits for them doesn't have to fit for me. I'm not starting from a specific shopping site but from the products itself, and then search for the perfect (price, reviews) shopping site.
For that matter, this seems like a great site for influencers and their audience. I very much doubt that the data quality required for building something like geizhals can be achieved in a "hack it together" startup context.
