ServiceScoutSG

A Skyscanner-like price comparison tool for general services available to Singapore's public

Comment

Inspiration

Essential everyday services for the Singapore public have a big problem. Pricing information is often scattered and untransparent. We wanted to build a tool to help the public quickly understand the price of services near them, without needing to search across multiple websites or visit providers physically.

What it does

ServiceScoutSG brings fragmented service pricing information into one integrated accessible platform, starting with healthcare services. It helps users find nearby providers that fit their budget, while combining AI crawling, AI chat features, crowdsourced submissions, and human reviews to keep the information relevant, transparent, and trustworthy.

How we built it

ServiceScoutSG is a Skyscanner-like tool for GP clinics in Singapore. Compare consultation fees, filter by distance, and see evidence-backed fees in one place. A Python crawler (Crawl4AI + OpenAI) scrapes clinic sites, normalizes branch and rate data, and loads it into Supabase (PostgreSQL). The web app is Next.js + React + Tailwind, with maps, comparison tables, and a review queue for human verification, deployed on Vercel. Optional voice chat (ElevenLabs) for accessibility.

Challenge we ran into

Ensuring location services work correctly and integrate well with the database listed is one of the challenges we faced. Additionally, the AI crawlers are very capable but limited by the availability of information that can be obtained online.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Given the short working period, we successfully developed and deployed a full stack project that covers many pillars and targets a public problem at hand. We faced and overcame multiple technical challenges and were able to produce a web app we are proud of.

What's next for ServiceScoutSG

We will refine the product further and hope to ship it - ideally, we get live tests from local communities and gain feedback for the product. We hope that with more users, we can further populate our database with accurate information. We also have many ideas for extending ServiceScoutSG's functionalities that we are excited to work on.
