How we rank
Prices in the Price comparison and on product pages. We sort by the lowest price for the same variant. We look at prices from the past two weeks: every price we collected from the shop in the last fourteen days counts. An older price stays visible, but gets its date shown ("Price from [date]") and does not count towards the lowest price; in the shop list the fresh prices come first. If all prices of a product are old, we show the newest with its date. Next to every price we show when we collected it from the shop; we re-collect all prices weekly. You can sort differently yourself: price per litre or per piece, number of shops or date. All shops that sell in euros are listed, including shops in other countries; you see the shop's country next to the price. Only shops that, according to our data, deliver to your country count towards the lowest price, the "lowest product price" label and the default order; the other shops are listed below them. We derive your country from your request, and you can change it yourself next to the prices; if we cannot derive it, we assume the Netherlands. We compare the product price: including VAT, without shipping costs, because those differ per customer and per order. At a shop in another country they can be higher, and that shop may charge a different VAT amount. So check at the shop what you pay in total. A promotional price counts as the shop states it ("according to [shop]"); the struck-through amount is information only.
Products in the Product guide and on category pages. We sort by how well a product matches your search: first the name, the brand, the category and the article number or EAN, then the number of shops with a price. On a category page you can expand the shops per product; every shop has a direct link to the shop. Filters and sorting you choose always take precedence. The price shown with a product is the lowest product price as described above, so without shipping costs and at shops that, according to our data, deliver to your country.
Shops. Alphabetically, or by number of products if you sort by that. Whether a shop has a claimed or paid profile does not count.
Detailers. By distance from the place you enter, otherwise alphabetically per region. A claimed, verified or paid profile has more room (photos, portfolio, price list) and a label saying what it is, but is not placed higher.
Market updates. By publication date, newest first; filters by topic, brand or organisation take precedence.
What never counts. Payment, advertisements, sponsorship, partner links or a subscription never change the order, the score or the content of a comparison. Reviews and editorial texts are not for sale. Labels such as "Verified business" or "Pro" state only what is factual (the business has been checked, or it takes a certain tier); they are not a judgement of quality.
How we earn money
- Subscriptions for users (WikiDetail Plus, later Premium): extra features, such as higher limits, reminders and the maintenance report. This changes nothing in what you see in the comparison.
- Business profiles (Business Free now; Pro and Insight later): businesses will pay for more room and statistics on their own profile, never for a position.
- Advertisements (not active at launch): once they exist, they are always separate and labelled "Advertisement", never in a price row or price table; whether they are tailored to you is your own choice through your cookie settings. Members of WikiDetail Plus see no advertisements.
- Partner links (not active): if we ever receive a commission on a purchase via a shop link, we label that link "partner link". That costs you nothing extra and does not change the order.
- Sponsorship of knowledge content or tools (on request): labelled "Sponsored"; we write and check the content ourselves.
