About Honey

Honey is a price comparison tool that lets you save time comparing prices across multiple online retailers. The company has an easy-to-use browser extension and free app, and it helps you find coupon codes for popular websites to get the best deal on products.

Pros
  • Rewards program
  • Saves time comparing prices
  • Free app or browser extension
Cons
  • No search for coupons on Amazon
  • Not available on all websites

What is the Honey app?

Honey works to find you the best deals, promo codes and savings. The company searches more than 30,000 retail sites to find the lowest prices. Honey also offers a Droplist tool that lets you create a wish list and notifies you when prices drop on items you want to purchase. Honey’s Amazon Badge comparison service factors in shipping and Prime status to show you which sellers have the lowest price on Amazon.

The Honey Gold rewards program is available for both app and browser extension platforms. You can earn a percentage back that can be redeemed for gift cards at participating retailers when you shop with Honey.

How does the Honey app work?

To use the Honey app on your phone, you must shop from within the app to apply coupons and promos. When you check out on the Honey app, it checks each item in your cart separately to find and apply coupons.

The Honey app also offers the convenience of one cart so you can check out for all your items at once. The Honey browser extension functions on laptop or desktop computers with Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge and Opera. You can sign up for Honey with your email or Google, Facebook, Paypal or Apple account.

When you visit one of the more than 40,000 sites that Honey works on, the Honey button pops up to search for and apply promo codes. Coupons show up as pop-up windows in your cart. Click “Apply coupons,” and the extension then adds the best deal to your cart total.

Honey on Amazon offers customized tools, including best-price detection, price history and the Droplist. Best-price detection shows you competing prices from sellers on Amazon offering the same item you’re shopping for. Honey also takes Prime shipping benefits into account when displaying the best price.

The price history tool tracks individual item prices on Amazon for 30, 60, 90 or 120 days and generates a page that shows whether the price is falling or rising, letting you choose your purchase time by watching the trend.

The Droplist feature works on both the Honey app and browser extension. Droplist monitors the price of items you add to the list for 30, 60, 90 or 120 days and notifies you of price changes. There is no limit on how many products you can add to Droplist. The feature is not available on all sites, so look for the “h” button to add items. Droplist is available on Amazon.

    I bought an Amazon gift card and the web app mentioned an email with gift card info has been sent. I didn't receive it and so I went back and did a resend email several times with no results. I also raised an issue several times and tried contacting on chat, first they respond to look at the account and then don't ever respond. It has been 3 days not with several emails and chats and absolutely no response until now. Seems like someone stole my gift card info and they don't want to deal with it now. Just don't trust them...this is a fraud!

    I have responded to the amounts of money offered in Honey Gold from places I regularly shop. I have activated the gold for the product. All my purchases with Kate Spade honey gold as advertised and activated are not awarded in my account. I have followed the direction in the email with a capture of the gold amount, receipt, shipping, and everything they need to award my gold. No response in an email and no honey gold award to my account. Lately, I have also received issues with Talbots orders and one Macy's order. I have resent these emails about 5 times with no response and no gold awarded. Then I tried to use the live chat. Kim on the live chat left me hanging. I cannot get a response and they have not awarded me what they advertised on their site and not responded. I am cheated!

      Finally a truly useful deal website that really provides a way so that you never miss a deal. No more searching for coupon codes or wasting valuable time trying to fin ones that work. This website has an extention that automatically searches out the best coupon codes whenever you checkout. I love it because sometimes I forget to check for discounts and don't realize until it's already too late. I never have to worry because I know if there's a savings out there Honey makes sure that I don't miss it. Truly beneficial and brilliant!

      When searching online for a product, if it is member retailer, Honey will pop up and offer a coupon search for that particular online retailer's products. They seem to be everywhere and cover a multitude of online retailers. As a member, they will also send an email when a particular item you have previously searched has lowered its price. The best part is most times they are able to find a coupon that will provide some savings over the retail price. Get Honey and save money.
