So let me tell you something that made me genuinely annoyed.

I was trying to buy a pair of shoes online. Found a deal on one of those popular Indian deal sites, the ones with the big flashy banners and "LIMITED TIME" written all over them. Saw a pair of Nike Revolution 7 for ₹2217. Sounded too good to be true. Clicked the link. Redirected to Amazon and the price was sitting at ₹3695 like nothing happened.

This happened to me like four or five times before I started noticing the pattern.

The Problem: Bots Posting Dead Deals

These sites are running bots and scrapers that detect a price drop the second it happens on Amazon or Flipkart and immediately post it as a "deal." Sounds helpful right? Except here is the thing. By the time you see it, click it, and land on the product page, the deal is already gone. The stock ran out in 3 minutes. Or the price corrected itself. But the deal site? Still showing ₹2217. Still getting clicks. Still earning affiliate commission from your confused visit.

It is basically a traffic trick dressed up as a helpful service.

And in 2026, when everyone and their cousin is slapping AI onto everything, this problem has only gotten worse. These platforms are detecting deals faster, posting them automatically, and never ever cleaning up after themselves. There is zero human involved in the process. A bot finds it, a bot posts it, and you are left staring at an "Item currently unavailable" message wondering what just happened.

Why I Built DealsRadar Differently

I got fed up. So I built DealsRadar.in.

Now here is the funny part. Yes, I used AI to build the website itself (yeah I get it, don't judge me 😭). Cursor, Claude, the whole setup. I am not going to pretend otherwise. But the actual deal finding, the price checking, the "is this still in stock" part? That is all me. Manually. Every single day.

If a deal goes out of stock, I mark it. If the price changes, I update it. If something is genuinely good value, I post it. If it is not, I don't. No bot is going to do that with any real accuracy because bots do not care if you waste your time. I do.

The Mess of Other Deal Sites

And it is not just the fake prices. Have you actually tried using some of these deal sites on your phone? It is a mess. You open the app or website looking for deals and suddenly you are drowning in pop-ups, cashback banners, referral prompts, "spin the wheel" nonsense, and about 47 categories you never asked for. By the time you find what you came for, you have already lost the will to live. These sites feel like they are designed to keep you busy, not to actually help you save money.

DealsRadar.in is the complete opposite. You open it, you see deals, that is literally it. No pop-ups, no spin the wheel, no "download our app for an extra 2% cashback" banner eating half your screen. Just the deal, the current price, and a direct Amazon or Flipkart link to buy it. Yes I use affiliate links, please do not burn me for that, everyone does, but at least I am being upfront about it. The difference is I am not letting that incentive make me post dead deals just to get your click. If it is not a real deal right now, it does not go up. Simple as that.

India's Trust Problem with Deal Sites

India's online shopping space has a trust problem. Sites like DesiDime, CashKaro, and FreeKaaMaal have millions of users and thousands of listed deals, but the sheer volume means quality control basically does not exist at that scale. It is all automated. And users of even popular price tracking apps have complained that price drop alerts fire constantly for products that are already out of stock, which honestly just makes the whole thing feel pointless.

I wanted to build something different. Something where if you see a ₹2217 deal on DealsRadar.in, that price is actually ₹2217 right now, and the item is actually in stock right now.

That is it. That is the whole pitch.

It is not revolutionary. It is just honest. And apparently in 2026, that is a weird thing to be.
