I found a much lower price in another e-shop, why was it not included in the Avast SafePrice results?
Avast SafePrice does its best to provide a broad range of offers, and constantly works to increase the number of supported shops. There can be several reasons why a particular e-shop is not among the provided offers:
- A lower price was not found.
- The product has an extended delivery period or is not in stock.
- The product could not be identified.
- The e-shop is not a part of the supported sites.
How does Avast SafePrice select which offers to show?

What if there is a problem with a product I ordered from an Avast SafePrice recommendation?
While you shop, we inform you of cheaper offers among trusted e-shops. If there is a problem, we recommend that you contact the merchant directly for exchange, return, or refund procedures. When you purchase the product, the transaction is carried out through the merchant and not processed by Avast. Therefore, you should contact the merchant to resolve any issues regarding the order.
Why does Avast SafePrice show me offers that are not identical to my search?
Avast SafePrice aims to find better offers for the product you are searching. If your product specifications are not found, you may notice slight differences between the product you are searching for and the product that Avast SafePrice offers. This can also happen if the merchant does not provide correct product specifications. We recommend that you check the product offered before finalizing your purchase to ensure that the product meets your requirements.
Does Avast SafePrice collect any data about which e-shops I visit and what products I search?
The purpose of Avast SafePrice is to select the best prices and coupons from a database of trusted e-shops and to display them while you shop. To display these offers, Avast SafePrice first collects anonymous data about pages and products visited. Keeping your privacy safe is very important to us, and the data collected is not connected to your personal data.
