Good deal, Fair, and There are better options

ToolCheck uses three ratings. They are based on the prices we have saved for that item and the other stores shown in the popup.

Good deal

This page is the lowest saved price, or it is tied with another store at that price. We only say “tied” when another store matches the same price. If it is the unique lowest, the text says it is the lowest price we have saved.

Fair

This page is not the lowest, but it is not $15 or more above the lowest. It is close enough that the choice can come down to shipping, stock, or which store you prefer.

There are better options

This page is $15 or more above the lowest option we can show. The cheaper listings are listed below so you can open them yourself.

The $15 gap is only used for “There are better options.” Being the lowest always counts as a Good deal, even if the next price is only a few dollars higher.

Dollar amounts, and the words “more” or “less” in the explanation, are bold so the difference is easy to see.
