Private Price comparison while you shop

Same item.
Lower price.
Nobody watching.

FairRobin is a price comparison extension. On a product page it finds the same item at other stores, puts exact matches first, then shows the price you would pay. No store pays for a higher spot. Comparing the page is free. A discount code appears only when a real one is printed on the page. If you are not ready to buy, it keeps an eye on the price for you.

What you could save

$830a year

You could save about $830 a year just by buying the same things from the store that charges less. The exact same item often costs more at one store than another, and most people never check.

18.8% Usually, the exact same item cost about 19% more at one store than at another nearby. Aparicio, Metzman & Rigobon, 2023
57% For the same gadget online, the most expensive store charged 57% more than the cheapest one, on average. Baye, Morgan & Scholten, 2006
$4,415 What the average U.S. household spent in 2024 on clothes, furniture, and things for the home. U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

You could save every year $830

How we got $830: 18.8% of $4,415. It's an estimate from the public research above, not a number from FairRobin users. We don't track what you buy, so we can't see what you save. What you actually save depends on what you shop for and whether another store has it for less.

How it works

It works off to the side.
You keep shopping.

FairRobin never moves the buy button, takes over the page, or opens tabs in front of you. The lookups happen in the background.

01

Open a product

A small card appears in the lower-left corner. It does not cover the buy box or take the cursor away from what you were doing.

02

See what you'd save

It checks Google, Amazon, Walmart, and Bing Shopping for the same item and tells you right away, like “You'd save $38 at Store B.” Only prices it actually saw are shown. A coupon appears only when a real code is on the page.

03

Hear when it drops

Choose “Tell me if it gets cheaper.” FairRobin rechecks every couple of hours and shows a Chrome notice when the price is lower.

An unbiased view

Ranked by price.
Not by who pays.

Lots of shopping tools earn money from the stores they send you to, so it's hard to tell whether a result is the best deal or just the best paying one. No store pays FairRobin, and we earn nothing when you click. Your subscription is our only income, so our only job is to show you the price.

  • No paid placement. No store can buy a higher spot on the card.
  • One rule for the order. Exact matches come first, then the lowest price you'd actually pay.
  • We tell you to stay when it's best. If the page you're on is cheapest, the card says so.
  • Clean links. No affiliate tags or cashback cookies, and tracking tags are removed.

Inside FairRobin

The parts you'll
actually see.

These are layouts from the extension, with example items.

Your list

Every price you've checked, in one place.

Drops are highlighted in orange. Stop alerts, open the store, or remove an item, and the list tells you right away what happened.

Toolbar

One click from anywhere.

The toolbar icon counts the drops you haven't opened yet. Click it to bring the card back or open Your list.

Alerts

A notice when it's cheaper.

It's an ordinary Chrome notice on this computer. There's no email, and we don't need your phone number.

The whole point

Checking a price shouldn't build a profile of you.

Most shopping tools pay for themselves by learning what you buy. FairRobin is built the other way around. The product, the price, and your list stay in this browser. A small model shipped inside the extension reads the page right on this computer.
