About PriceRoo
PriceRoo is a data-driven Australian deals site. We track prices across major retailers so you can find genuine lows — not just whatever a seller claims is a bargain.
The "Verified Low" Methodology
Every featured deal is cross-checked against our accumulated cross-retailer price history. A deal earns the verified-low label only when the current price sits below recent median observations. The higher the score, the more compelling the value relative to historical data.
Price data is updated daily, and our history grows more accurate over time.

PriceRoo reads the public prices Australian retailers publish, to show which shop is cheapest. Its User-Agent is deal-hunter/0.3 (+contact: [email protected]). Its catalogue requests to Shopify storefronts are signed with Web Bot Auth (Signature-Agent: "https://priceroo.com.au"; public key at /.well-known/http-message-signatures-directory).
- Public content only: product catalogue endpoints (Shopify
/products.json, the WooCommerce Store API), sitemaps and public product pages. Never carts, checkout, accounts or anything behind a login. - Rate: a shop's catalogue is read at most once a day, at least 1 second between requests (3 seconds for most shops); individual product pages at most 200 a day per shop, at least 5 seconds apart.
- The bulk catalogue reader honours robots.txt: it does not request paths disallowed for us and slows down to the Crawl-delay. On HTTP 429 it stops and waits out Retry-After.
- The data is used only to show prices and price history on this site. It is not resold.
