Compare prices on game keys, gift cards, subscriptions and more

What this page compares

Everything we track, on one grid: game keys, DLC and season passes, gift cards, in-game currency, memberships, ready-made accounts and software licences. Prices for the same product differ by edition, by region and by seller, and this page is how you see all of them at once rather than one at a time.

They are bought in very different ways, though, and the thing that goes wrong is different on each. Each shelf has its own page with the checks that apply to it.

What is on each shelf

Game keys. Codes you redeem on Steam, Xbox, Ubisoft Connect, the EA App or GOG to add a game permanently to your library. The largest shelf here, and the one where the gap between the cheapest offer and the storefront price is widest.

DLC and season passes. Expansions, character and map packs, pre-order bonuses and edition upgrades for games you already own. Discounted on a different cycle from the games themselves, which is why they are worth comparing separately.

Gift cards and in-game currency. Credit for Steam, PlayStation Network, Xbox, Nintendo eShop, Roblox, Google Play, Apple, Amazon and Razer Gold, and the currency inside a single game — Fortnite V-Bucks, Roblox Robux, EA SPORTS FC Points, Apex Coins, Minecoins and GTA shark cards. Every one is a code you redeem yourself. The one shelf where the price you pay and the value you get are separate numbers, so the cheapest listing and the best value per coin are often not the same one.

Subscriptions. Prepaid membership time for Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation Plus, Nintendo Switch Online and EA Play. Codes stack, so they can be bought while they are cheap rather than when the membership runs out.

Game accounts. Access to an account that already holds the game, rather than a key you redeem on your own. How some titles are sold when no transferable key exists — and the shelf with the most to read before buying.

Software licences. Windows and Windows Server, Microsoft Office, Corel, and antivirus from Avast, Norton and Panda — mostly licences you keep rather than subscriptions, where the edition and the version matter more than the headline price.

What to check before you buy

Four things account for almost every problem people have, whichever shelf they are on, and all four are on the offer rows.

Region. Every offer on this site shows its region, and on every shelf it is the commonest reason a code is rejected. A product bought for the wrong region will not redeem, and stores rarely refund it.

What you are actually buying. An edition, a denomination, a membership length and an account are four different things wearing similar prices. The offer row says which one it is, and the cheapest row is very often not the one you meant.

Where it activates. A listing sold as "PC" might redeem on Steam, Ubisoft Connect, the EA App or GOG. If you want it in a particular library, check the activation platform before you buy.

Whether it is a code at all. Most listings are a key you redeem yourself. Some are a gift, and some are an account handed over outright. The type is marked on every row.

How to actually pay less

Compare the offers, not just the headline price. One product usually carries several offers at once — editions, regions, sellers — and they are not priced together. The cheapest row and the row you want are often not the same row.

Watch the price rather than the sale. Discounts run on a cycle, and a product that is 40% off today may be 70% off in two months. We record every price change we see, so each product page shows what it has actually cost over time rather than just what it costs now.

Use the filters. The rail narrows the grid by platform, region, store, genre, language and price. A catalogue this size is not something to scroll; the fastest route to a cheaper offer is usually two ticks.

Why compare instead of buying direct

Buying from a storefront is simpler and always works. It is also usually the most expensive option, because a storefront has no reason to show you a cheaper listing elsewhere.

What comparison gets you is the spread — the difference between the highest and lowest price for the same product on the same day, across editions, regions and sellers. On popular products that spread is regularly wide enough to matter, and it is the only thing this site exists to show you.

We're not a store. We don't hold stock, we don't take payment, and we earn a commission when you buy through a link here — which never changes the price you pay.
