What Makes PriceRunner Different?
But there's more to PriceRunner than first meets the eye - read on to find out what makes us different from all the rest.
Although there are numerous price comparison sites available these days, what makes PriceRunner stand out from the crowd (certainly for those in the know) is that we always strive to put our millions of loyal users first. That's why they return month after month, year after year – recommending us to all their friends and family. And, when you understand what sets us apart, we hope you will too!
There are 3 main reasons :
1. PriceRunner is Impartial
With PriceRunner, you always get the whole, unbiased and impartial picture – letting you make a truly informed decision, before you part with any money. Most other price comparison sites, including many of the biggest names, certainly can't make the same claim.
"Wider Choice . . ."
- Other Price Comparison Sites ONLY list products from stores that Pay-to-Display (i.e. paying advertisers only). Because they make lots more money, by severely limiting your choice!
- PriceRunner also includes hundreds of online AND high street stores you won't find anywhere else. Some of them simply can't afford to advertise - despite offering some cracking deals. And others would rather you didn't know how uncompetitive their prices (including those all-important ‘hidden extras') really are. We list them anyway!
"Cheapest Price First - GUARANTEED!"
- Other Price Comparison Sites use sophisticated tricks to 'fix' their results – so they're biased in favour of stores that pay the most. This means you never know if you're seeing the best prices available, or just the ‘best prices' they're paid to show you.
- PriceRunner always displays the lowest REAL price (i.e. including delivery) first – even if we have no direct relationship with the store at all. Of course, you can use the Sort box to re-order your results in any way you choose.
2. PriceRunner is here to Help!
PriceRunner really isn't just a run-of-the-mill product listings site. Our comprehensive Buying Guides, User Reviews, Video Reviews, Expert Reviews, Forums and our in-house technology magazine, The Insider, are all here to assist you through the buying process and, ultimately, help you find what's right for you, at the right price. Whether you eventually decide to buy through a store listed on PriceRunner, or not.
3. PriceRunner is in the Real World - just like you
As well as using the latest web-crawling technology – to continuously collect bang up-to-the-minute product information from thousands of websites – and taking in data direct from retailers themselves, we're unique amongst price comparison sites in that we also have a team of people on the ground (our valiant 'Price Runners'' – hence the name!), checking prices in high street shops across the UK, come rain or shine.
Then, only once we've gathered, matched and sorted through all that raw data (no mean task), do we list it on the site. This way, whenever you want to buy something at the best possible price, you'll always find it quickly and easily on PriceRunner – and be certain that you won't be paying over the odds!
