We Built PromoIQ Because Honey Stopped Working

We're a small team of engineers who got tired of expired codes, fake savings, and extensions that spy on your browsing. So we built something better.

The Problem

Honey was great — until PayPal bought it for $4 billion. After that, it started showing expired codes, tracking users' every click, and optimizing for PayPal's data pipeline instead of your savings. We watched the product we loved become the product we warned people about.

Capital One Shopping ties your deals to a credit card. Cently has a tiny database. RetailMeNot doesn't even have auto-apply. None of them prioritize privacy. We knew we could do better.

Our Values

🔒

Privacy First

PromoIQ runs only when you click. No background tracking, no browsing history collection, no data selling. Ever.

Codes That Work

Every code is validated against real checkout pages. We show confidence scores so you know what's likely to work before you try it.

💰

Real Savings

Cross-retailer price comparison across 20+ stores. We show you where the product is actually cheaper — with direct links.

🚀

Fast & Lightweight

No bloated background processes. PromoIQ loads instantly and stays out of your way until you need it.

PromoIQ vs Honey

Background tracking Honey: Yes (PayPal data pipeline) PromoIQ: Never
Expired codes Honey: Frequently shown PromoIQ: Validated with confidence scores
Price comparison Honey: Droplist only (same store) PromoIQ: 20+ retailers, direct links
Data selling Honey: Shopping data shared with PayPal PromoIQ: Zero data sharing
Works without account Honey: Requires sign-up PromoIQ: No account needed

How We Make Money

Transparency matters. PromoIQ earns revenue through affiliate commissions — when we show you a lower price at another store and you buy through our link, the retailer pays us a small commission. You pay the same price either way. We also offer an optional Premium tier ($2.99/mo) with unlimited auto-applies, price alerts, and exclusive codes.

We will never sell your data. That's not a marketing promise — it's our business model. If we sold data, we'd lose the one thing that makes us different.
