Sites Like Slickdeals: The Best Alternatives for Tech Deals in 2026

Slickdeals is a community. Members post deals, other members vote and comment, and in the site's own words, "No deal lands here without community support" before it reaches the Frontpage. Its Deal Editors are also drawn from the community, promoted after showing a knack for posting great deals.

That model is brilliant at speed and volume. The trade off is noise. A flood of posts, lots of categories you don't care about, and threads where the useful comment is buried on page three. If you mostly buy electronics and just want to know whether a price is genuinely good, a quieter, more focused source can save you time.

DealNews

DealNews has been around since 1997, when it started as a group of friends sharing gadget deals. Today it says its staff has "personally reviewed more than 6,000 online retailers" and promises that "every deal we list is the lowest price we could find, sold by a reputable store." It also says it bans stores with a history of poor customer service.

You'll see "Staff Pick" labels throughout its listings, and write ups often note things like whether a price is the best a store has charged for that model. It's reader supported and discloses that it may earn commissions on qualifying purchases.

Best for: people who want a curated feed without wading through comment threads.

Brad's Deals

Brad's Deals has been online since 2001 and makes a point of saying there's a real human behind every post. Its published vetting process is one of the more detailed I've seen: editors look at historic pricing "taking seasonality into account," run a price check to confirm the item isn't cheaper elsewhere, and look into seller feedback, including whether marketplace sellers are authorized to sell a brand.

It's free and ad supported, and it's upfront that it may earn a small commission when you buy.

Best for: anyone who likes knowing a deal was price checked before it was posted.

TechBargains

TechBargains is a long running deal site focused on electronics, owned by Ziff Davis since the company bought it in November 2013. It's a handy feed of laptop, TV and gadget deals. I couldn't find a published explanation of how its deals are selected or checked, so I'd treat it as a good discovery tool and do your own price history check before buying.

Best for: a quick scan of tech specific deals.

Reddit is the closest thing to Slickdeals' community feel, just split into topic specific rooms.

r/buildapcsales is where PC builders post deals on GPUs, CPUs, SSDs, monitors and peripherals. r/deals is broader. On both, verification is really the crowd: posts get upvoted or buried, and the comments are usually quick to point out when a price is wrong, has expired or comes from a sketchy third party seller. Each subreddit also has its own posting rules, enforced by volunteer moderators, and it's worth reading them in the sidebar before you post or rely on a thread.

The upside is speed and expertise, especially on r/buildapcsales, where commenters will tell you if a specific model has a known issue. The downside is that nobody is paid to double check anything, so read the comments, not just the headline.

Best for: PC parts, and people who enjoy a bit of community back and forth.

These don't hand you a list of deals. Instead they answer the more important question: is this price actually low?

camelcamelcamel

camelcamelcamel is a free Amazon price tracker. It shows price history charts for Amazon products and sends price drop alerts, and its browser extension, The Camelizer, puts that history right on the Amazon product page. It covers Amazon only.

Keepa

Keepa does the same job with more depth. It says it tracks over 7 billion Amazon products, with price history charts, price drop alerts and browser extensions. There's a free basic tier and a paid subscription that adds more advanced data and alerts. Again, Amazon only.

Google price tracking

If you shop beyond Amazon, Google's built in price tracking is underrated. Search for a product, open its product card and choose Track Price. You can set a target price, and when the price drops below it you get a push notification through the Google app and an email. You need to be signed in to your Google account, and Google says the feature is available in the US, Canada, Australia, Japan and India.

PayPal Honey

PayPal Honey is a free browser extension and app that tests coupon codes at checkout, lets you save products to a watchlist called Droplist for price drop alerts, and offers PayPal Rewards on eligible purchases.

It's also been at the center of a real controversy, so here are the facts. In December 2024, YouTuber MegaLag published a video alleging that Honey replaced other sites' affiliate links at checkout, claiming the commission even when it hadn't found a coupon, and that partner stores could influence which codes Honey showed. PayPal's response was that Honey follows industry rules and practices, including last click attribution, and that merchants decide which coupons are offered. Class action lawsuits followed; the first was dismissed in November 2025 for lack of a cognizable injury, and plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in January 2026.

In March 2025, Google updated its Chrome Web Store affiliate policy to require a related user action before an extension adds any affiliate code, link or cookie, and to allow affiliate links only when the extension gives the user a direct and transparent benefit, such as a discount or cashback. Honey changed its extension so it no longer claims affiliate revenue when no discount is applied.

I spent about ten years on the network side of affiliate marketing, so I'll say this plainly: last click attribution is a real industry standard, and the argument is about whether an extension should be the last click when it didn't actually save you anything. Google's rule now says it shouldn't. Honey still works for finding coupons; just know how it gets paid.

Capital One Shopping

Capital One Shopping is a free extension that applies coupon codes at checkout, compares offers and alerts you when prices drop on products you've viewed. You don't need a Capital One card; an email address is enough to sign up. It's clear about how it makes money: it earns a commission on eligible purchases and may share some of that with you as rewards.

I'd be doing you a disservice if I pretended we were a Slickdeals replacement. We're not a community and we don't post a daily deal feed. What we do is track price history on roughly 11,000 Best Buy products across about 630 brands.

On every product page you'll see today's price next to Best Buy's listed original price, plus when we last checked it. That tells you in a couple of seconds whether a "sale" is actually below what the item normally sells for. There's no community voting, so there's no crowd telling you a deal is hot; it's just the numbers.

One honest caveat: our Deal Score still shows "tracking" on most products because our price history is new. We'd rather show nothing than guess, and you can read exactly how the score will work in how we score deals. To see which categories and brands we cover, check our price tracker coverage page.

Best for: checking a Best Buy price before you buy, or before you ask for a price match.

Whichever site you use, a thirty second routine will catch most fake discounts:

1. Check the price history, not the "was" price. A listed original price can be a number the item rarely sold at. Our guide on whether a sale is a real discount walks through this.
2. Confirm the exact model. Retailer specific model numbers and older versions often show up in deal posts.
3. Look at the seller. A great price from an unknown marketplace seller isn't the same deal as the same price from the retailer itself.
4. Read the return policy. Some categories carry restocking fees that wipe out a small saving.

If you want someone else to do the vetting, DealNews and Brad's Deals are the most reliable alternatives to Slickdeals for electronics, because each publishes how its editors check deals. If you build PCs, r/buildapcsales is hard to beat. And whatever feed you use, check the price history first: Keepa or camelcamelcamel for Amazon, Google's price tracking for most stores, and OzSavers for Best Buy.
