PriceRunner is the UK's no.1 shopping comparison site. We’ve been zooming around the internet to find you the best deals on millions of items since 1999. You can compare prices and read reviews on over 3 million items from hundreds of the UK's best loved shops all on a single website.
At PriceRunner we pride ourselves on being impartial. This means we list lots of retailers for free as well as those who pay to include links to their websites. We're the only major UK shopping comparison site that does this, even Google only shows shopping results that retailers have paid to display.
That's why we're a trusted partner and have hundreds of the UK's most popular retailers who have worked with us for many years, such as John Lewis, Amazon, Argos and Currys and many more.
We combine state-of-the-art technology with a team of real PriceRunners who whizz around the high street all week seeking out the best prices. We also have a large team of people manually matching up items to make sure our comparisons are 100% accurate and you can find exactly what you're looking for.
How does PriceRunner earn money?
PriceRunner is a shopping comparison site so we don't actually sell anything. We search hundreds of the UK's best-loved shops and compare prices on millions of products so you can find the best deals. We earn our revenue in two ways:
1. Linking to online shops
We show prices from lots of retailers that don't pay us a penny but some shops like us to show their logo and include a link to their site. For these shops we ask for a small commission on each person that clicks on one of our links to visit their site.
We always show the cheapest shop at the top of the list whenever we find more than one retailer selling an item, even if they're not a paying client like in the example below. So you can be sure you're always seeing the best deals around.
2. Advertising onsite & email
We also let selected clients promote their latest products and special offers by running advertising banners on PriceRunner and occasionally promoting carefully selected offers by email.
Verified retailers
We aim to compare prices from every credible online retailer in the UK, as well as shops from overseas that we know have a good reputation.
To do this is no mean feat and takes a lot of work behind the scenes to make sure all the products match up and the information is correct.
Some retailers work with us directly, providing all the prices and item details and paying us a small amount for shoppers that click on their listings on PriceRunner. These retailers work transparently with us so we can verify all the details more accurately, contact them if there’s a problem and nearly always show delivery costs and stock information. For these retailers we show this icon next to all their listings.
Some other retailers don’t work directly with us but we’re still able to compare their prices by scraping information directly from their site or working through a third party. Obviously we don’t have such a close relationship with these shops so we can’t be as confident about the accuracy of their prices or help out with customer service issues.
This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t shop with them but it’s worth checking the details thoroughly before you buy.
We do our best to make sure everything we list on site is accurate but we’re only human so if you do spot any mistakes then please let us know by emailing hello@pricerunner.com.
