Comparisons
Pricele is one of about a dozen daily price-guessing games. These are the 5 worth comparing it against, one page each, with the rules of both games set out side by side and a verdict on every dimension. Every fact about the other game was checked by playing it, not taken from its marketing copy.
The comparisons
- Pricele vs Costcodle3–2–5Costcodle is the better game if you shop at Costco: six guesses at a real Costco product, with a catalogue of over three thousand of them. Pricele asks a different question — what an everyday item costs in a different country each day — and every figure is a published statistic with its source named. Play Costcodle for the retail, Pricele for the geography.
- Pricele vs Spendle3–1–6Spendle and Pricele share a rulebook — one item a day, guess the price, win inside 5% — and disagree about what to price. Spendle uses branded consumer goods: headphones, dumbbells, a Kindle. Pricele uses everyday staples and changes the country instead of the product. Spendle has six guesses and a freeplay backlog; Pricele names a source for every figure.
- Pricele vs PriceGame6–2–3PriceGame is a five-round daily scored out of fifteen, with leaderboards, optional accounts and Amazon-sourced retail prices. Pricele is one puzzle, five guesses, no account and no leaderboard, built on published national statistics. Pick PriceGame if you want to compete with other people; pick Pricele if you want one careful puzzle and a source for the answer.
- Pricele vs Price Games5–3–3Price Games is the biggest game in this genre: a dozen modes, live rooms for up to six players, a daily challenge and a monthly prize draw, all on live Amazon listings. Pricele is one puzzle a day on published national statistics. Price Games is the better party; Pricele is the better reference.
- Pricele vs Guess the Price4–2–4Guess the Price is a continuous run of fifteen items with no daily limit, built around extravagant products and community-submitted entries, and it shows you what everyone else guessed. Pricele is one puzzle a day, five guesses, on everyday things in 49 countries with a source for every figure. One is endless; the other is a habit.
The three figures beside each comparison are the tally of verified dimensions: how many favour Pricele, how many favour the other game, and how many are level. They are counted from the tables rather than written down, so they move when a table does.
What these pages are not
They are not reviews. Every game listed here is free, made by a small team or one person, and worth an evening; the question a comparison page answers is which one suits you, not which one is good. All of them are good enough that the genre exists.
They are also not permanent. Daily games change their rules, add modes and occasionally stop being maintained. Each page carries the date its facts were last checked against the live game, and if a row here disagrees with what you see when you go and play, the other game is right and we are out of date — tell us and we will fix it.
For the wider genre rather than the direct competitors, the list of daily games covers the word, geography and trivia dailies too.
