Good News
OctoShop has been acquired by Ibotta!
In 2020, we built OctoShop (formerly InStok) with a mission to fight the rampant price and inventory disparity
with
online shopping. In under a year, OctoShop became the go-to tool used by over a hundred thousand people to fight
scalpers and find the cheapest option for everything they purchase online.
Today, we’re excited to announce that we are supercharging our mission by joining Ibotta, one of the world’s
leading
cash back rewards platforms!
We have been working hard to migrate all our functionality including price comparisons,
restock
and price drop alerts, and cashback to the Ibotta browser extension. All the functionality you know and love is
now
available on Ibotta!
OctoShop has been shutdown and all existing functionality will move to the Ibotta browser
extension. We want to thank everyone for being a part of the OctoShop community and hope to continue to serve you at
Ibotta.

FAQs
What will happen to the OctoShop browser extension?
The OctoShop browser extension has been shut down since January 15, 2022. However, all OctoShop’s features are now live on the Ibotta browser extension. Switch over and enjoy the same awesome functionality you know and love!
What will happen to OctoShop Rewards (Cashback)?
OctoShop rewards will sunset on December 15 2021. Switch over to Ibotta to continue getting cashback on your online purchases.
How is the Ibotta browser extension different from OctoShop?
The Ibotta browser extension has all of OctoShop’s functionality - price comparisons, price drop and restock
alerts, price history, and cash back. Ibotta also offers even more opportunities to save money with item level
cash back - you can get additional cash back for purchasing qualifying products in addition to the cash back you
already get from a retailer - adding even more value to your online shopping experience.
We’re actively working on adding new features to the Ibotta browser extension to help you save even
more money, so keep an eye out for new features!
