The short version: When you click through to a retailer on Scoutigo and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission. This is paid by the retailer — it never changes the price you pay. Our rankings are always based on price, lowest first, regardless of which retailers pay us.
Scoutigo is free for shoppers. To keep the service running, we participate in affiliate programs. When you click a link on Scoutigo and complete a purchase at a retailer, that retailer pays us a small commission.
This is a standard practice used by price comparison websites across Australia and worldwide. It is how we cover the cost of checking prices, maintaining the site, and expanding the catalogue.
No. The commission is paid entirely by the retailer from their margin — it is not added to your purchase price. You pay exactly the same amount whether you arrived at the retailer through Scoutigo or went directly.
No. Results on Scoutigo are always ranked by price, lowest first. We do not give preferential placement to retailers based on the commission rate they pay. Our goal is to show you the genuinely best price available — that is the only thing that makes Scoutigo useful.
We manage affiliate relationships through Commission Factory, Australia's leading affiliate network. Commission Factory connects publishers like Scoutigo with Australian retailers and ensures commissions are tracked and paid correctly.
Not all retailers in our catalogue are currently part of an affiliate program. In those cases, links to their products are still included because we believe in showing you a complete price picture — we just don't earn a commission from those clicks.
This disclosure is made in accordance with guidelines from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) regarding transparent disclosure of commercial relationships in online content. We are committed to being honest and transparent with our users at all times.
