As you online shop, Wikibuy automatically analyzes different sites for better deals. It will let you know if you can get the product for cheaper elsewhere. It includes all factors such as tax and shipping costs.

Honey is similar to Wikibuy but offers an extensive amount of coupon codes on top of analyzing better deals elsewhere.
