RetailMeNot aggregates user-submitted coupon codes, many of which are expired or never worked. Users report spending 10+ minutes at checkout trying codes one by one, most returning "invalid." The failure rate is high enough that it's a running joke in frugal-living communities.
RetailMeNot is an online coupon site. It has no barcode scanner, no price comparison, and no way to help you in a physical store. If you're shopping in person, it's useless.
RetailMeNot cannot tell you whether the item in your cart is cheaper at a competitor right now. It only surfaces discount codes — and most of those don't work. ScanSaver shows live prices across seven retailers and lets you see exactly how much you've saved over time.
ScanSaver is free to start. Scan a barcode, see every price, use every coupon — in seconds.
