We are not a shop. We do not sell anything, take payments or handle orders: every purchase happens on the retailer's own site, under its own terms.

What OwlyFinds does

Paste a product link from one of the eight shops below, or type what you are looking for. We work out exactly which product it is (brand, model, storage, colour and condition), check the other shops, and list every offer we can confirm is the same product: in stock first, then cheapest first.

Each product has its own page with price history and a price drop alert, and the blog has buying guides. We compare devices: phones, tablets, laptops, consoles, headphones, smartwatches and the like. Accessories such as cases and chargers, games, and home and kitchen goods are outside what we cover.

What we will not do

  • Guess. If a shop's listing does not confirm the storage, colour or condition you asked about, we leave that shop out rather than show you the price of a different product.
  • Mix conditions. New, refurbished and second hand offers are always listed apart, because they come with different warranties and different risks.
  • Sell placement. No shop can pay to appear higher, we do not mark up prices, and a shop that pays us nothing still goes to the top when it is cheapest.
  • Run adverts or sell your data. There are no display ads, advertising pixels or third-party analytics on OwlyFinds, and we never sell personal data.

How we check prices

We read prices from each shop's own product pages, or from its product API where it has one, and match every listing to your product by those same attributes, or by barcode or part number when the shop publishes one. We keep what we find and check an offer again once it is more than 24 hours old. Every offer shows when we last checked it, for example “Checked 2 h ago”.

A price can change between our check and your click, and our prices do not include delivery, so always confirm the final price at the shop's checkout. If a price looks wrong, the “Wrong price?” link beside it sends us the product and the shop with your report, and a confirmed mistake becomes a test case for the matching.

The whole process, step by step, is in How OwlyFinds compares prices.

How OwlyFinds makes money

OwlyFinds is free to use and pays for itself through affiliate links. When you click through to a shop from OwlyFinds and buy something, the shop may pay us a small commission through an affiliate network. You pay the same price either way.

Commission never changes what you see: offers are ranked by stock and price and nothing else. Our affiliate disclosure names each network we work with and the shops whose links earn us nothing.

The eight shops we compare

  • Amazon UK, AO, Argos, Currys and John Lewis, which mostly sell new
  • Back Market and musicMagpie, which sell refurbished devices
  • eBay UK, a marketplace where a listing can be new, refurbished or second hand

The Retailers page has more on each shop.
