1. Price compare before you buy
Deals are often not as good as they seem. Price compare with PriceSpy, either in your web browser or in the mobile app, and you’ll instantly see if it’s a good deal or not.

Our price history reveals how often prices are raised and lowered by shops. It helps you to see if any shop is secretly raising their prices before a promotional period, and if you should take advantage of that time-limited offer or wait for the next price reduction.

By creating price alerts you don’t have to check for price reductions manually. Create a price alert on a product on PriceSpy and we’ll notify you when the shops lower their prices or when a product is in stock again. You can receive messages via email and in the mobile app.
