For example, product x smaller than £25 and stores greater than 3?

Keep up the amazing work.

Tools | Price Comparison | CheckoutSpy

CheckoutSpy compares products and prices from hundreds of stores so that you don’t have to. But CheckoutSpy is more than just a free price comparison website. We also offer the following tools to assist you with your buying decisions:

Price History

chart2This unique feature allows us to show you the price history of a product. Often we see products reduce in value when more stores begin selling them or as their market moves away from early adopters to the masses. With both price (high, low and average) and number of outlets tracked you can gauge whether today is a great day to buy, or whether you missed a bargain last week (we’ve been there too so don’t beat yourself up too much!).

Badges

Aside from the lengthy listings above, we also offer product specific price history on our comparison pages. To do this, either browse by category or search for the product you wish to compare, then look for the following badges:

Click this badge and you’ll be shown the details of the product, relevant stores, pricing and also a tab called ‘price history’.

Relevant Price Checks

Related Price ChecksOn the CheckoutSpy website, price checks for up to ten related products are shown on the right hand side of the screen when a user searches for a product. This allows users to quickly see the price for similar products – for example price checks for a product bundled differently, or for different product accessories. In the screenshot to the right, we can see that a search for ‘Lego’ shows up various themed Lego kits. This screen also usefully gives the maximum and minimum prices that CheckoutSpy has seen for each product, along with the potential saving in both £ and as a percentage.



Related Brands

When a user searches for a product, related brands will appear at the bottom of the screen. This allows users to see relevant, related brands allowing them an easy way to search for other similar products.

Community
