How We Earn
Transparency is one of our core values. Here's exactly how we sustain Price History.
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Price History, we believe you deserve to know exactly how we operate. Unlike many services that hide their business model, we're completely open about how we generate revenue to keep this platform running and free for everyone.
Our goal is simple: help you make smarter purchasing decisions while maintaining a sustainable business that doesn't compromise your user experience or privacy.
How We Generate Revenue
Google Ads
We display non-intrusive advertisements through Google AdSense. These ads help us cover our server and development costs.
Affiliate Commissions
We earn small commissions from partnered stores like Flipkart, Myntra, and others when you make purchases through our links. You pay the same price - the commission comes from the retailer.
Brand Partnerships
We collaborate with brands to showcase verified deals and exclusive offers to our users.
Why Don't We Have an Amazon Affiliate ID?
Because Amazon blocked it.
Our affiliate account was rejected because our website displays price tracking and price alerting functionality, which Amazon does not allow as per their Associates Program policies.
Amazon's Associates Program has strict policies against price tracking and caching price data for more than 24 hours. Since our core feature is providing comprehensive price history, this directly conflicts with their terms.
We chose to keep our features and prioritize user experience over affiliate revenue from Amazon.
Here's the email Amazon sent us:
What We DON'T Do
We do NOT sell your personal data
We do NOT charge any subscription fees
We do NOT have hidden premium features
We do NOT interfere with affiliate commissions of other platforms
