Over the past two years, Safe Deal has navigated significant transformations and tackled pressing challenges that have shaped our future as an AI-driven shopping advisor. These developments have not only expanded our offerings but have strengthened our commitment to transparency, independence, and customer-focused solutions.

Embracing B2B: Expanding Our Reach

One of the most pivotal moves we made was shifting towards a B2B model, catering to businesses seeking to optimize their procurement processes. By integrating Safe Deal into the B2B landscape, we enabled companies to make smarter, data-driven purchasing decisions for bulk supplies and equipment. Our AI-powered features allow businesses to track price histories, evaluate seller reliability, and receive real-time alerts for price drops, ensuring cost-effective procurement strategies. This shift has opened a new revenue stream, adding value to companies of all sizes while maintaining the high standards that individual users have come to expect from us.

Becoming Open Source: A Commitment to Transparency

In 2023, we took a bold step towards transparency by making our platform open source. This decision reinforces our belief in empowering our users through collaboration and transparency. By providing access to our code, we have allowed developers, privacy advocates, and tech enthusiasts to review, modify, and contribute to our software, enhancing Safe Deal’s functionality and security. This move has not only built trust with our user base but also strengthened the Safe Deal community, as contributors from around the world help us improve the platform for everyone.

Launching a New Pricing Model: Free vs. Subscribed Experience

Recognizing the diverse needs of our users, we introduced a new pricing model in 2024, offering both free and subscribed experiences. Free users enjoy access to basic features with occasional affiliate links that support the platform's growth. However, for users looking for a more seamless experience, our subscription plan offers premium features such as ad-free browsing, advanced fraud detection, and priority customer support. This tiered approach ensures that Safe Deal remains accessible to all while providing an enhanced experience for those seeking additional benefits.

Enhancing Seller Ratings and Fraud Detection: Smarter, Safer Purchases

In response to the rise of online scams and fraudulent sellers, we upgraded our fraud detection and seller rating systems in 2024. Leveraging AI and machine learning, Safe Deal now provides even more accurate assessments of seller trustworthiness by analyzing a broader range of data points, including customer feedback, sales history, and compliance with industry standards. Our color-coded safety system continues to guide users with green for safe purchases, yellow for caution, and red for high-risk transactions. This improvement has significantly reduced the risk of fraudulent purchases, offering peace of mind to both individual shoppers and businesses alike.

Launching Real-Time Alerts for Better Deals

In 2024, we expanded our real-time price drop alert system, helping users never miss a great deal. By monitoring price changes across millions of products, Safe Deal now instantly notifies users when their watched items drop in price, ensuring they can act quickly to save money. This feature has proven particularly valuable during large sales events such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday, where prices fluctuate rapidly.

Strengthening Global Presence

With the growing demand for smarter shopping solutions worldwide, Safe Deal now supports over 55 languages and operates in multiple regions. Our global reach ensures that users across different cultures and markets can benefit from Safe Deal's powerful AI-driven insights, whether they're buying electronics in the US, home goods in Europe, or business supplies in Asia.

Conclusion: Building a Safer, Smarter Shopping Future

The challenges we faced in 2023 and 2024 have shaped Safe Deal into a more robust, transparent, and user-focused platform. Our shift to B2B, the move towards open source, the introduction of a tiered pricing model, and continuous improvements to fraud detection and seller rating systems are just a few of the ways we’ve adapted to meet the evolving needs of our users. As we continue to innovate and grow, our mission remains the same: to empower shoppers with the insights they need to make safe, informed decisions.
