About Us

PriceRunner is a free service that helps you compare millions of prices on thousands of products - saving you time and money. As an objective and impartial service, we don't sell any products ourselves but allow you to compare items from the widest range of retailers available - all in one place.

2. Find Your Product

Start you search by clicking the 'Compare products and prices' button in the top left of the screen:

Then, if you know what you want, you can use the search engine. This will search all the products on PriceRunner and return the matches in a list grouped by category.

Or, you can use the menu on the homepage to look through the different categories. If you can't find the category you want in this area, you may be able to find it from within another category. For example, if you want to find widescreen televisions, choose televisions and then you will see a link to 'widescreen televisions'. See the 'How do I navigate through the category menus' page for more help.

Or, if you're looking for inspiration, check out what's popular on PriceRunner with our daily updated Top 50 list.

3. Check Specifications & Reviews

If you've found a product you like, check the specifications. We list full specifications on lots of products, and you can see side-by-side comparisons as well.

To help you find the perfect product, we also list reviews from professional sources and other PriceRunner users who have already used the product. Remember that you can help other users by writing reviews yourself.

4. Compare Prices

Comparing prices is easy. You'll find them all in a list, with the cheapest TOTAL price (including delivery charges) displayed first, then listings from our direct retailers (with the Go To Store button included for your convenience) in ascending price order, followed by any retailers without a direct store link, again in ascending TOTAL price order. Although, of course, you can re-sort the list in any order you choose by using the dropdown sort options (located above the list). As you'll see, we include all the prices we've matched against every retailer we've collected product and price information for - not just those direct retailers who advertise with us. This means there is a much wider range of prices than on any of the other big price comparison sites - and you're more likely to find the cheapest price available.

We also encourage all our users to review retailers of whom they have experience. This helps you to find a retailer you can trust. We never adjust these scores manually, and do our best to ensure that the reviews you see reflect true experiences.

5. Buy Your Item

Just click on the 'Go to store' to be taken to the website where you can buy the product. Retailers who advertise with us receive an 'enhanced listing' so that you can go straight to the offer, making it even easier for you to save money.
