Worth it

Should I use DLCompare?

The gamer's price comparison - dlcompare.com

· 1 week ago

Use it if you buy digital games regularly and want the cheapest offer across many shops in one search. Skip it if you only buy from official stores or need purchase guarantees — DLCompare just compares and links out.

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Cheapest listings often come from gray-market shops (G2A, Kinguin) where keys risk revocation

medium

You buy on the shop's site — refund and warranty terms are theirs, not DLCompare's

low

Guess: site likely earns affiliate commissions, so shop visibility may favor partners

low

Prices move constantly; a listed deal can expire before checkout
