The process

    How a deal
    earns its spot.

    Every deal on The Real Deal clears the same process. Retailers are hand-picked before REALRANK™ verifies the deals are real and then ranks them. So only the best deals reach you.

    01 · REALRANK™

    REALRANK™Verifies & ranks the deals.

    The RealRank™ engine: raw data, unverified inputs, fragmented sources, fake deals and scams pass through the RealRank™ engine and come out as a single verified, ranked deal.

    “Noise goes in. A verified, ranked deal comes out, scored on what you actually save.”Not on paid placement

    02 · The score

    Every dealgets a score.

    REALRANK™ doesn't just verify. It rates. Every deal gets a score out of 10, weighed across six signals that decide whether a discount is actually worth it. The higher the score, the better the deal.
