How we score
GrabDeals Score is our check of the data we stored, out of 10. It is not a review.
The score uses only numbers we already store for that product. It is not a user review, not a store star rating, and not a promise that the price will fall.
- Gap to the listed MRP, up to 3. We count the percent between the selling price and the listed MRP, and we stop at 40%. A larger gap does not add more, because listed MRPs are often inflated. No listed MRP means 0.
- Our own price checks, up to 3. A real drop versus the previous check counts, up to 20%. If the price did not just drop but we have a high and a low on record, the current price’s place between them counts for up to 2. One check, or a price that never moved, scores 0 here.
- How fresh the check is, up to 2. Within 24 hours is 2. Within 48 hours is 1.5. Within 5 days is 1. Older than that is 0.5. No check time is 0.
- Stock flag, up to 1. Not marked sold out is 1. A check past the usual re-check window is 0.5. Sold out or expired is 0. We do not know how many units are left.
- Price rank in the category, up to 1. Lowest price in the category is 1. The highest is 0. One product alone in the category adds 0.
The total is rounded to one decimal place. Missing data is left at 0 and named on the product page. A line on a store page that quotes stars stays a quote. It is never this score.
A score of 7.5 or higher is marked Top value on the product page. Every score is still shown. The badge does not hide a lower score, and it is not a review.
