Only 25% of U.S. local businesses have websites and just 10% show their prices online, but Centzy launches today to let you sort local business searches by price, open hours, and eventually quality -- reviews relative to price. That means you could find the nearest dry cleaner open until 7pm that's the cheapest but has the best customer ratings pulled from Yelp and CitySearch. Centzy uses a self-built crowdsourcing platform get humans to pull offline data online. That's data inaccessible to any web crawler. With $800,000 in seed funding from ff Venture Capital and Lightbank, Centzy could one day monetize its crowdsourcing platform, price database, and/or a destination site for finding and purchasing from the best local businesses. Today at TechCrunch Disrupt, Centzy opens its search engine for 15 business types in San Francisco, Chicago, and New York City. So go find who's got a great deal and who's ripping you off.steve nash julianne hough bruins boston bruins michael pineda charles taylor calvin johnson
