Compare electronics prices — then buy on the merchant site
BeforeToBuy.com is a free price-comparison service. Right now we focus on electronics. We do not run a shop: we help you compare offers, then redirect you to the retailer’s website so you can check the price and decide for yourself.
What to expect
So you know exactly what this app does today:
- Focus: electronics price comparison (more categories may follow later).
- We only redirect you to merchant websites — checkout and payment happen there, not on BeforeToBuy.
- You compare offers and make your own personal decision. We do not choose for you.
- We do not sell products, hold stock, or process your payment.
How BeforeToBuy Works (4 Simple Steps)
Search → compare → open the shop → you decide. Transparent and free for consumers.
Search or browse electronics
Look up a product, brand, or category. Live, sample, and demo labels show where each price comes from.
Choose your shopping market
Your shopping market is selected from the request country on the first visit, and you can change it manually at any time.
Open the merchant website
Click an offer to leave BeforeToBuy and land on the retailer’s official site. There you see their current price, stock, and conditions.
You decide and buy there
Purchase only on the merchant’s site. BeforeToBuy stays free for you — we may earn an affiliate commission from the merchant, never as an extra fee on your order.

How we fund the service (affiliate model)
Transparency about referral tracking. Live today for Rowenta and Scule365 in Romania; other networks still planned. · Phase: production
BeforeToBuy.com currently has live merchant programmes via AWIN in the United Kingdom (Seentat) and via 2Performant in Romania (Rowenta, Scule365), each with a live product feed and affiliate deep links when Affiliate cookie consent is granted. Other merchants are added only after acceptance and feed wiring. Other markets remain planned. We only compare and redirect; checkout is always on the merchant site. We may earn a referral commission from the merchant or network — we do not add a BeforeToBuy fee to your price.
BeforeToBuy.com is <strong>100% free for consumers</strong>. We do not sell products directly, hold inventory, process credit cards, or add hidden service charges.
In Romania, consented outbound clicks to Rowenta and Scule365 (2Performant product feeds) may earn a referral commission from the merchant or network — <strong>never increasing the price you pay</strong>. Catalog prices come from the live product feeds. AWIN, Amazon Associates, and other markets are still planned.
