What PlayCompare is
PlayCompare helps people compare video game prices across stores and spot lower prices. It covers Steam, GOG, Green Man Gaming, Humble and Fanatical, with price history charts and historical lows to show how a game’s price has changed. Its browser extension works automatically on Steam game pages, where it displays prices and past lows. Users can set a target price and receive a notification when a game reaches it. A subscription checker identifies games included in Xbox Game Pass, EA Play, PS Plus or Ubisoft+, while a listings section tracks active deals and games available to claim for free, including expiry dates.
PlayCompare is offered as a browser extension and an iOS app. The iOS listing describes support for 20 countries or regions and local-currency pricing. The service is free to use, with no subscription and no ads. Its privacy policy says lookups send a game ID and selected region to its API without connecting them to an account or identity; it also says data is not used for advertising or sold to third parties. Authentication and database storage use Supabase, and Railway hosts the backend API. Users can request account deletion by email, with associated data removed within 30 days.
