CheapShark
PC game price comparison across digital stores
CheapShark is a price comparison platform for digital PC game downloads. It solves the problem of having to check multiple online stores individually to find the best price on a game. The site aggregates pricing data from official digital retailers such as Steam, GreenManGaming, GOG, Humble Bundle, and GamersGate, and only lists stores that have a direct relationship with publishers and developers, excluding unauthorized key resellers.
The platform allows users to browse and filter current deals, search for specific games, and view price history to see the lowest price a game has ever been. Users can set up email price alerts for specific titles and check a release calendar for upcoming games. Deals are rated based on factors including the size of the discount, the game's age, its Metacritic rating, and how recently the deal was posted. Prices are typically updated once per hour per store. CheapShark also provides a public API, which has been used by third-party developers to create companion apps for Android and iOS.
CheapShark is designed for PC gamers who want to find the cheapest legal source for digital game downloads. The website is free to use, with no mention of paid plans or subscriptions. The site generates revenue through affiliate commissions when users purchase games via its links.
