Honey solves a different problem than a dedicated Amazon deal feed, which is why some shoppers look for an alternative. Its own terms say it may not always find the best deal, and that third-party coupon or merchant information may not always be accurate, complete, current, or error-free. 4 Its US App Store rating was 3.57 from 10,294 ratings in the 2026-10-01 research snapshot. 1 For shoppers who prefer to scan fresh Amazon discounts before checkout, our new deals today and trending deals pages take a more discovery-first approach.
That is not to say Honey is weak. It does several things Today Coupon List does not: its extension automatically searches and tests coupon codes, supports 30,000+ stores, tracks prices, compares Amazon sellers using shipping and Prime status, and offers rewards on eligible purchases. 23 Today Coupon List is narrower. We focus on Amazon promo codes and deal discovery, then send you to Amazon to complete the purchase. We do not offer automatic checkout testing, rewards, price history, or multi-store coverage.

Common complaints about Honey
Honey is broad, not Amazon-first
Honey says its extension works on 30,000+ stores and can search for better prices on Amazon. 3 That breadth is useful, but it is not the same as opening a catalog built around Amazon promo codes. If your normal task is "show me today's Amazon codes" rather than "check my cart across many stores," try our guide to finding coupon codes alongside the deal feed.
Automatic testing still has limits
Honey automatically tests available coupons at checkout, which is a major convenience. 2 But Honey's terms also say it may not always find the best available deal, and offers or codes may fail to produce savings because deals change often. 4 Today Coupon List has the opposite limitation: we surface codes, but we do not test each one at checkout or promise that every code works.
Rewards come with eligibility rules
Honey's PayPal Rewards can add value on eligible purchases, but points are not offered at every supported store or on every item. 7 Honey's terms also require membership for rewards participation and note that exclusions vary by merchant. 4 If you do not care about rewards, a simpler promo-code workflow may suit you better. For a broader comparison, see our cashback apps guide.
The extension uses shopping and browsing data
Honey's US privacy statement says Rewards management can involve identifiers, shopping history, transaction value, preferred merchants or categories, internet activity, and inferences about shopping preferences. 5 Apple also lists browsing and purchase history among data categories that may be linked to users. 2 If browser access is a deciding factor, compare the tradeoffs in our browser extensions guide.
Where Honey is strong
Checkout automation is genuinely convenient
Honey's strongest advantage is that its extension can search available coupon codes, test them at checkout, and apply the working code with the biggest savings it finds. 3 Today Coupon List does not automate checkout. If you frequently forget to search for coupons before paying, Honey's extension-based workflow removes more manual steps than our app or website.
Honey covers far more than Amazon
Honey says it works on 30,000+ popular stores, from major retailers to travel and food sites. 3 That makes it a better fit for shoppers who want one coupon tool across many merchants. Today Coupon List is intentionally Amazon-focused, so we should not be your only savings tool if much of your spending happens elsewhere.
Rewards and price tools add extra ways to save
Honey can offer PayPal Rewards on eligible purchases, track saved products through Droplist, notify users when prices drop, and compare Amazon sellers while considering shipping and Prime status. 27 Those are meaningful features we do not currently match. Our focus is the promo-code catalog, categories, favorites, notifications, and supporting calculators rather than a full shopping assistant.
How each one makes money (and what that means for you)
Honey says it earns commissions from merchant partners when members use Honey to find savings or activate PayPal Rewards, and it shares some earnings back through rewards. 6 Its App Store listing also discloses that merchants may pay affiliate commissions. 2 Today Coupon List earns through Amazon affiliate commissions when qualifying purchases happen after a referral. We do not offer cash back, points, or a paid subscription, so the value proposition is finding Amazon promo codes rather than sharing commissions back.
| Honey | Today Coupon List | |
|---|---|---|
| User price | Free 2 | Free app and website |
| Primary revenue | Merchant affiliate commissions 6 | Amazon affiliate commissions |
| Rewards to users | Yes, eligible purchases 7 | No |
| Paid subscription | Not stated in sources checked | No paid tier found |

App store ratings
How to switch
1. Start with your Amazon categories
Open Daily Coupons or the website and choose the categories you buy from. Search or sort by newest or highest discount. The 2026-10-01 snapshot had a median 50% discount, but every deal can change, so confirm the final Amazon price before buying.
2. Save deals you may buy later
Favorite useful items so saved-deal expiry reminders can bring you back. On 2026-10-01, the median remaining time was under one day and 65% of live deals ended within three days. Short review cycles make more sense than a long wish list.
3. Check stacking before checkout
Use the Coupon Stacking Calculator when combining a promo code with another discount. Then read how to stack Amazon coupons. We do not apply codes automatically, so confirm at Amazon checkout that the final discount actually applies.
4. Keep Honey if it solves another job
Keep Honey for multi-store coupon testing, rewards, price tracking, or Amazon seller comparison, and use Daily Coupons for Amazon-first discovery. 23 Our ways to save on Amazon guide can help you combine other legitimate savings methods.
