How We Make Money

This site contains affiliate links. When you click a product link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This is how we keep the site running and the price tracking free.

What this means for you

We track prices across multiple retailers. We show you all of them — not just the ones that pay us the most.

Our deal scores are based on price data, not commission rates. When we say a product is 20% below its 90-day average, that's a fact from our database, not a sales pitch.

We recommend products we'd buy ourselves. If something isn't worth the money, we'll say so — even if it pays a higher commission.

For the editorial side of that process, including how products are selected, what comes from our own pricing data, and how AI is used in discovery support, see Editorial Standards.

How deal scores are calculated

Every deal score is a percentage below the 90-day rolling average price for that product. A product showing "15% below average" has a current price 15% lower than the average of all prices we recorded in the last 90 days. No adjustments or weighting — just raw math on real data.

We track MSRP separately. Retailers sometimes inflate the listed "original price" to make discounts look larger. Our deal scores are always against observed market prices, not manufacturer list prices.

Retailers we track

The retailer list reflects the categories we currently track and will expand as new categories launch. We're adding more retailers regularly. Retailers are tracked based on product availability and affiliate program quality — we prioritize retailers that have reliable pricing data, not highest commission rates.
