About 🂠 StraightSteal

We built StraightSteal because finding the best product at the best price is harder than it should be — and most "best of" lists are quietly funded by the companies they recommend.

Every recommendation on StraightSteal is generated fresh by AI at the time of your search. We look at real-time pricing across local retailers, cross-reference thousands of customer reviews, and apply a Bayesian scoring system that stops products with only a handful of 5-star reviews from gaming the results.

How Bayesian scoring works

A product with a 5.0★ average from 3 reviews is not better than one with 4.7★ from 1,200 reviews. Our formula accounts for this — the more reviews a product has, the more its rating is taken at face value. Products with fewer reviews are pulled toward the average until they've earned the right to stand on their own score.

Jack, Queen, King

Every search returns exactly three picks — one for each tier. Jack is the smart entry-level choice. Queen is the sweet spot most people should buy. King is the no-compromise best available.

How we make money

We display ads. That's it. We do not earn affiliate commissions from any retailer or product — so we have zero financial reason to recommend one product over another. We think that's how it should work.
