Honest comparison
Dealerific vs Brad's Deals
Brad's Deals is the editor-curated daily-deal site. Here's where they got it right, where they let shoppers down, and what we do differently.
Everything below cites public reviews, lawsuits, or analyst reports — not our opinion.
What Brad's Deals got right
Brad's Deals built an editor-vetted daily-deal feed in 2008, marketing itself as the curated alternative to the community-vote firehose.
Where they fail shoppers today
Trustpilot and PissedConsumer reviews trend 2.4–2.9 stars with the most common complaints being unreachable customer service, codes that don't apply at checkout, and billing disputes on the premium tier.
Email volume is aggressive — multiple sends per day are the default for the free list.
No per-deal disclosure of which deals are editor-paid vs editor-organic.
Mobile experience is ad-heavy; review sites repeatedly call out interstitial overlays.
What Dealerific does differently
Editor picks are tagged on the card — you see exactly what was reviewed by a human.
Single daily email, default volume = 1 send/day. Increase only if you opt in.
Plain-English affiliate disclosure (not buried). No editorial/paid blur.
Mobile-first build, no interstitial overlays, no autoplay video.
