Here's an announcement!

We will be launching the early access version of Thryft - The Local Deal App on October 1st for our beta testers!

As such, businesses who join October 1st will receive 2 months on the app for free.

What this means is that businesses who join and help us tune the web app will receive the full release of the app and web app for free until December 1st!

We thank you for your grace with us, as the app will look somewhat different and less polished than the full release, but we hope that the free use time for a month and a half after the full release will be worthwhile to our valued businesses!

To claim your free sign-up, all you have to do is go to thryft.net!

See you all in the local market!

Discover local coupons, products, and services on Thryft. Small businesses share deals and shoppers save while supporting their community.

Introducing Thryft: the better app for shoppers and growing businesses alike!

It used to be that a business could get by with just a sign or a website. Unfortunately, nowadays every place a business advertises requires them to spend ludicrous amounts of money to show up, and they still get destroyed by the big dogs.

This hurts small businesses, it hurts the shoppers looking for a good product or service, but most of all it hurts the community.

What if I told you that there is an app built ONLY for the small businesses? ONLY for the shoppers? ONLY for the community?

Thryft is the deal app made to bring back community shopping and keep money in the local market. We believe that local spots provide a better experience, a better atmosphere, and all around a better deal than the big companies can. We built the app so that shoppers looking for products and services can save money and see the businesses in their area; their offerings, and the deals or coupons they have on offer.

And shopper accounts will ALWAYS be FREE!

For the next few months (until November 30th), we will be offering an early bird discount on business accounts for $37.95 a month. This price will never change for the businesses who take advantage of it, and they will not be billed until they create their account on the official go-live date (expected in September or October). Once this deal passes, it will never come back, so act quickly!

Both shoppers and businesses can sign up for the early access waitlist at https://thryft.net
