BetterPrice vs Slickdeals
Slickdeals is a community of deal hunters posting offers they have found. It is great for stumbling into discounts on things you were not necessarily looking for. BetterPrice does the opposite - it runs on the products you ARE looking at and tells you when they are overpriced. These tools do not compete. They cover different parts of your shopping life.
What Slickdeals does well
Slickdeals shines when you have time to browse. You see a deal someone else flagged, you decide whether you want the item, you click through. The community vetting helps filter noise. For impulse-discovery shopping, it is one of the best tools online.
Where BetterPrice fills the gap
The other 95% of online shopping happens when you are already on a product page, deciding whether to buy. Slickdeals cannot help there - it does not know what you are looking at. BetterPrice does. It runs on every product page and tells you instantly if the same item is cheaper somewhere else.
You catch the markup the moment it would have happened.
The honest answer
Run both. Slickdeals for the deals you would never have known to look for. BetterPrice for the markup you would have walked into without realizing.
