Our Story
Price, brand, availability, features, warranties… There are so many things to consider that smart spending is becoming a chore here in Singapore.
That’s where we come in.
Our goal is simple: to be a review site that our fellow Singaporeans can trust. We do tests, inspect items, perform research, and more to consider every aspect of a product or service properly.
All of this is so we can produce the most dependable consumer-focused reviews in the country.

HOW WE MAKE MONEY
Now you’re probably wondering why we’d spend time and money comparing products and services without charging others for it.
For one, we believe that we’re offering a necessary service. We want to help people all over the island find the products or services that they truly need.
That’s why our opinions and reviews are our own. We know the struggle of finding the right solution to a problem, so we strive to ensure all solutions we put forward are good ones.
The only compensation we may receive from what we do is an occasional referral fee for some products or services you may purchase from our site. That fee doesn’t reflect in the price you pay for any product or service, though: it won’t be passed on to you.
