Why This Matters

Australian Shoppers Deserve Price Transparency.

Understanding whether a discount is genuine takes research most shoppers simply don't have time for. A product marked "Was $999, Now $499 — 50% off" may reflect a genuine saving — or the was-price may have only appeared briefly. The Deal Truth Score tells you which, instantly.

Major Australian Retailer
Samsung 65" QLED Smart TV — Model QA65Q70C
Was $2,499 $1,249 50% OFF
What the Deal Truth Score reveals: This TV has been available at $1,249 for most of the past 12 months. The higher was-price appeared briefly before this sale. Our Deal Truth Score for this deal: 2/10 — Not a price low worth acting on.

Deal Truth Scores In Action

The same headline discount percentage can represent very different actual value. Here is why the score matters more than the percentage.

12-month low: $289
12-month average: $415
