How we track prices
- Daily scraping. Every retailer in our index is scraped at least once a day. Most prices on Miniheist are less than 24 hours old.
- Real price history. We record a new data point only when a price actually changes, not on every scrape. The highest price we've genuinely seen becomes the implicit RRP, so the discount you see is real — not invented.
- Total-price ranking. Open a product and we rank retailers by what you'll actually pay, so the cheapest in-stock option is always at the top. Ranking is never for sale.
- No fakery. "Was/Now" badges use the real historical maximum we've observed, never a reference price we made up to inflate a discount.
Where our data comes from
Every price is scraped directly from each retailer's own website — we don't buy a third-party feed or take a shop's word for what a product "usually" costs. If a price looks off, it's what the shop was showing when we last visited, and you can always click through to verify it at the source.
How we make money — and why it never changes the ranking
Some retailers pay us a small commission when you click through and buy. This never affects a product's ranking, which retailers we include, or the price you pay — the cheapest in-stock total always wins. Retailers without an affiliate program are listed on exactly the same terms. The comparison works for you, not for the shops.
