Presenting Good, Cheap and Fast: A Product Review Site With No Ads, Trackers or Slideshows
Ad-free website finds above-average products selling for below-average prices.
NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Good, Cheap and Fast finds above-average products selling for below-average prices by using data science, price tracking and human analysis. This ad-free website aims to provide readers with enough information to make a buying decision in five minutes or less.
"We've come a long way since the web of the 1990s that I fell in love with, but some things are worse than before," says Good, Cheap and Fast founder John W. DeFeo. "Media websites are littered with ads, slideshows and autoplay videos. Meanwhile, shopping websites are overwhelmed by fake reviews that make terrible products look great. On top of that, prices are controlled by algorithms that are always changing. Can you imagine if the supermarket repriced a can of soup every hour? Retail shoppers don't have some of the stresses that web shoppers do."
Good, Cheap and Fast aims to solve these challenges by using a blend of science and art. The site's homepage features an index of bestselling products in categories like appliances, electronics and toys. These lists of bestsellers exclude products with unreliable reviews or above-average prices.
"I enjoy using free online tools to sniff out fake reviews," DeFeo continues, "but no tool is perfect. For example, most reviews of portable jump starters mention how well the device can charge a cellphone. When you look deeper, many of these 'five star' products weren't able to start a car when a customer needed help. The tools don't read between the lines."
Good, Cheap and Fast also provides shoppers with a compass for spotting rip-offs and deals by publishing an average price and a bargain price for each product. "It's hard to be a smart shopper if you don't know how much something should cost," concludes DeFeo. "Thankfully, the web makes it easier to see the price history of a product. This takes power away from the algorithms and gives it back to the shoppers."
