01 / The problemDeal sites have a credibility problem.
Most exist to drive clicks. They republish whatever Amazon surfaces, add a tag, and call it a recommendation. The "RRP" on screen is often invented. The "discount" is often a rounding error. The review under the photo is often generated by a machine that's never touched the product.
We started DropSignal because we wanted somewhere to send our family — and we couldn't find one we trusted.
02 / The principleWhat makes a deal a deal.
A discount is one input among many. A real recommendation needs to know where this price sits in the product's own history, whether stock is real, whether the seller is reliable, and whether the category is one where deep cuts are routine or rare.
That's what our score measures. Every published deal carries a 0–100 reading derived from five verifiable inputs. The full methodology is openly documented — every weight, every cap, every editorial override. If you don't agree with how we weight something, you can see exactly what to argue with.
03 / How we workWhat's on the desk.
04 / What you'll findOne feed, four signals.
We publish a small number of deals each day. Quality over quantity is the principle — we'd rather miss a few weak opportunities than dilute the feed with noise.
- Today's deals. The main feed. Newest first, scored highest visible.
- Collections. Themed roundups — best of category, under £50, biggest drops this week.
- For you. Personalised by your category and discount preferences once you sign up.
- Watchlist + saved searches. Tell us what to watch and we'll email you when it drops.
05 / How we pay the billsWe're an Amazon Associate.
When you click through to Amazon from a deal on this site and buy something — anything, not just the deal — we earn a small commission. That commission funds the entire operation: tooling, hosting, the editorial team's time. You pay nothing extra.
Two important things flow from this:
- The commission rate does not influence the score.Our scoring function has no input from how much we'd earn on a given product. The code is in our repo. Verify it.
- We don't take payment for placement. No brand has ever paid us to feature a product. If that ever changes, we'll say so clearly and put it on every page.
Our full affiliate disclosure covers the legal detail.
06 / Who we areIndependently owned.
DropSignal is owned and operated by a small independent team based in the United Kingdom. We're not part of a publisher network, and we haven't taken outside investment. The operation is funded entirely by Amazon Associates commission.
Editorial responsibility sits with the desk. If you spot a mistake, a bad call, or a deal that's gone stale, write to us — corrections are published the day we verify them.
We will never publish a deal we wouldn't recommend to our own family. We will tell you exactly how we got to a score. We will correct mistakes the day we verify them, and we will keep our methodology open.
