Is it really a good deal?
A “sale” price is often the usual price. Paste a product link and we’ll check it against the prices we have recorded, then tell you whether to buy now or wait.
How we judge a deal
We record the price every day
For the retailers we track, we save the price from the retailer’s own product feed once a day. Nothing is estimated or filled in.
We compare today with its own past
Today’s price is set against the lowest we have recorded, the last 30 days, and the typical price over the last 90 days.
We tell you straight
If it was cheaper a fortnight ago, we say so, with the price and the date. If we have under two weeks of history, we say that instead.
What the verdicts mean
- Good time to buy
- Within 2% of the lowest price we have recorded, over 30 days or more.
- A fair price
- Close to the typical price of the last 90 days. No rush, no catch.
- It was cheaper recently
- It was at least 5% cheaper at some point in the last 30 days.
- Usually cheaper
- At least 5% above its typical price. It usually costs less.
- Too early to say
- Under 14 days of history. We show what we have and don’t guess.
We never show or judge Amazon prices: they change many times a day and Amazon does not allow them to be recorded this way. Prices typed in by our team are shown on the site but never used for a verdict.
