How we rank deals
Diskount is a deal tracker, not a review site. Here's exactly how our rankings work, what we deliberately don't do, and how we make money.
By Diskount Editorial · Updated August 12, 2026
Most "best of" lists are opinions frozen at the moment they were published — the prices drift, the coupons die, and nobody updates the page. We took the opposite approach: our guides rank a live slice of the catalog by how good the deal is right now. That means the value we add is data — accurate prices, verified coupons, and honest discount math — kept fresh, not prose about products we haven't touched.
What we do
- Pull prices live from the marketplace so what you see is current, not a stale screenshot.
- Verify that a coupon or promo code was active when we captured it.
- Rank by real discount depth against the recent price, plus whether a working coupon exists.
- Track price history so a genuine low can be told apart from an inflated "list" price.
- Refresh the catalog every few hours and stamp when prices were last checked.
What we don't do
- Write "we tested this" reviews for products we have not tested.
- Let a brand pay to rank higher — placement is never for sale.
- Invent ratings, quotes, or star scores.
- Store or hand-edit Amazon prices — they always render live.
The ranking signals, in order
- 1
A working coupon
A verified clip-coupon or promo code moves an item up, because it directly lowers what you pay at checkout.
- 2
Discount depth vs recent price
We weigh the markdown against the recent price — not an inflated list price — so the "% off" reflects a real drop.
- 3
Current price
Among similar discounts, the lower absolute price generally ranks higher.
- 4
Availability & freshness
In-stock items with recently confirmed prices are preferred over stale or unavailable listings.
- 5
Ratings, where available
When buyer ratings exist for an item, they help break ties — but we never fabricate them when they are missing.
Where the data comes from
Product data and prices come from official marketplace APIs and are rendered live on the page, so they always match what you'll see at checkout. Coupons come from a mix of marketplace data and deals our browser tools surface; we record a code as active when we capture it, but codes expire, so we ask you to confirm the final price at checkout. Our catalog refreshes every few hours, and each guide shows when prices were last checked.
How we make money
When you buy through a link on Diskount, we may earn an affiliate commission — at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Commissions never influence our rankings: a paid relationship can't move an item up, and we don't accept payment for placement. The ranking signals above are the only thing that decides order.
