Pricele vs Guess the Price

Guess 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.

Where Guess the Price wins

Guess the Price does this better

  • It shows you the average guess of everyone who played that item, which is a better piece of feedback than anything Pricele gives you.
  • No daily limit — fifteen items, then fifteen more, for as long as you want to keep going.
  • The catalogue grows from community submissions rather than from one person's editing time.
  • Extravagant items make for better reveals than a litre of milk does. Nobody's jaw drops at the price of milk in Portugal.

Where Pricele wins

Pricele does this better

  • Five guesses at one answer instead of one guess and a reveal, which makes it a puzzle rather than a quiz.
  • A daily edition and a streak, which is the format that turns a game into a habit.
  • Everyday things in named countries, with a published source for every figure.
  • A replayable archive of every past puzzle.
  • Dollars or euros.

Which should you play

Play Guess the Price if: Play Guess the Price if you want to keep playing rather than stop after one puzzle, or if seeing what everyone else guessed is the part you enjoy. It is the better time-filler of the two.

Play Pricele if: Play Pricele if you want one puzzle a day, five guesses to narrow it down, and an answer you can trace back to whoever published it.

Or both. They take about a minute each and they are not competing for the same minute of your day so much as this page implies. The full list of daily games has the rest of the genre, and methodology says where our own numbers are weakest.

Frequently asked questions

Is Guess the Price a daily game like Pricele?
No. Guess the Price runs fifteen items at a time and then offers a fresh set, with no daily edition and no streak. Pricele publishes one puzzle a day that unlocks at midnight in your own timezone, and keeps a streak across days.
Which price game tells you what other players guessed?
Guess the Price does: after each item it shows the real price, the average guess across everyone who has played that item, and how many guesses were recorded. Pricele does not show a crowd average — its feedback is a hotter/colder warmth reading against the real price.
How many guesses do you get in Pricele?
Five, and you win by landing within 5% of the real price. After each guess you get a warmth reading — freezing, cold, warm, hot, scorching — scaled by ratio, so being twice as far out reads the same whether the answer is one dollar or a hundred.
