BetterPrice vs CashbackMonitor
CashbackMonitor and BetterPrice barely overlap. They solve different problems for different shoppers. CashbackMonitor is a meta-tool for cashback optimizers - people who already use Rakuten and TopCashback and Swagbucks and want to know which portal offers the best rate at a specific merchant. BetterPrice is for everyone else: the shoppers who want to know the product itself is cheaper at a different store entirely.
What CashbackMonitor does well
If you are a serious cashback hunter, CashbackMonitor saves you the work of checking five cashback sites before every purchase. It surfaces the highest rate available. It is well-built for what it does.
What it does not address
Cashback is a percentage of the price you pay. If the store is overpriced, cashback only refunds a sliver of the markup. CashbackMonitor cannot tell you the merchant itself is charging 2x what other retailers charge for the same product. BetterPrice does.
The honest answer
These tools are complementary. Install BetterPrice to catch markup. Use CashbackMonitor to optimize the rebate on whatever you decide to buy after that.
