How we compare to Honey

Same goal, completely different approach. One installs in your browser. The other tests codes before you even visit the store.

  • Works on any device, including mobile

The short version

Honey is a browser extension owned by PayPal. When you're on a checkout page, it tries discount codes automatically and applies whichever one it finds works. It also runs a rewards programme called Honey Gold.

DiscountCode.AI is a website. You paste a link to what you're buying, and we test every code at the real checkout before you get there. You see a ranked list of what works, with screenshots as proof. No extension, no account, nothing in your browser.

Why we built it differently

Most discount code sites — including ones that don't run a browser extension — just list codes scraped from other sites. They don't know if the codes work. You paste one in, it fails, you try the next one, and eventually you give up.

We built DiscountCode.AI because that's a rubbish experience. Testing every code by hand is exactly the kind of tedious task that a computer should do for you. So we made a computer do it, and we show you the results honestly — including when nothing works.

Real checkout, real proof

Every code is tried at the retailer's actual checkout, and wins come with a screenshot.

No install, no account

It's a website — paste a link and go. Nothing added to your browser.

Never touches your payment

You copy the code and check out yourself. We're never in the middle of it.

What we don't do

We're not a browser extension.
We don't track you across the web.
We don't run an affiliate rewrite on your clicks. When we send you to a store, we use a standard affiliate link (this is how we keep the lights on) — we don't intercept whatever attribution was already there.
We don't have a rewards points system.
We don't work on Amazon, because Amazon's checkout blocks automated testing. Honey's the same on this.

Try it on whatever you're buying next.
