Our vision
PriceRunner is radically changing the way people buy. It is now possible to gain an overview of the full range of products being offered by a broad range of retailers. PriceRunner.com provides this service by offering independent price comparisons and detailed product information from both online and traditional stores. In this way the consumer’s choice is greatly enhanced, with just a few clicks of a mouse!
We list both those retailers who pay for an Enhanced Listing (graphic logos, direct links and a retailer message) and other retailers from which we do not receive any payment. ‘Free’ retailers are listed where we believe they are credible*, competitively priced, and offer a wide range of products, dependable delivery services, return policies and customer support. Our goal is to list as many retailers, products and prices as possible, but we can never guarantee that all prices and products are listed on PriceRunner.com, whether they be from ‘free’ or ‘paying’ retailers.
*PriceRunner does not make any claims as to the reputability or quality of the retailers we list, however we do aim to list such retailers and will remove a retailer (paying or free) if we believe they are disreputable.
Kristofer Arwin, Martin Alexanderson and Magnus Wiberg together with Cell Ventures as financier started PriceRunner in July of 1999. The Swedish site was launched shortly afterwards in December of 1999. PriceRunner was aquired by ValueClick Inc. in August 2004, with the US launch following in April 2005.
