Guides: understanding prices
How to read price histories, how the Pricizo score is built and why the total price matters more than the item price.
How to read a price history
What the line shows, what “typical” means, why some periods are missing, and why our numbers can differ from a shop's advertised discount.
The Pricizo score explained
What the 0–100 rating is made of, what “confidence” means, and when we deliberately show no score.
Total price, not teaser price: shipping in price comparison
Why we compare price plus shipping, what “+ shipping” means, and why we never write “cheapest price in Germany”.
Comparing like with like: variant, condition and EAN
How to tell that two offers really are the same product, and how Pricizo matches offers without mixing up variants.
How current are the prices? Freshness and availability
How often Pricizo confirms prices, when an offer disappears, and why the price in the shop is always the one that counts.
