The company's reputation isn't clear. They are new to business and no good or bad reviews yet. The biggest problem is they handle payment and personal information of their users.

9. Wikibuy Possible Hidden Agenda

Some people say that Wikibuy is just earning commissions form online store and getting all credit card and personal information. This is a business and they don't charge users to buy their extension or app, then they should get earnings somewhere.

10. Wikibuy Bad Review

Is Wikibuy scam?

There are reports that coupon code didn't work. Some says that they have issues shipping items with the correct address. These are common issues that happened even on the most reputable online store. For me it's normal. It's still worth to try. If it didn't work, you can disable it and uninstall the app.

Some users run a test to compare prices showing in Wikibuy and actual prices of a certain product on different websites. The result is disappointing. Prices are actually cheaper on the actual website. What does it mean? Aside from the commission they get, they also tried to increase the price a bit? That contradicts the purpose of their service.

12. Wikibuy Alternatives

Let's face it. The idea and functionality of Wikibuy is one of the best for online shoppers. But their reputation hasn't proven anything yet. It's really hard to trust for most of us.

As of the moment, nothing works like Wikibuy. The ease and hassle free to find the best deal of other platform is not as good at what Wikibuy does. Some websites that offer similar service will ask you to jump into different website and enter certain details. Which is a NO for me.

13. Final Verdict on Wikibuy

We often find the easiest way to do things. Wikibuy is a great idea but it lacks of credibility. It's features and ideas are great and can change the world of online shoppers. Let's give them a chance. If you're too afraid to give your credit card information, try to use PayPal. For me it's safer because unlike credit cards, you can easily change details specially the password.

Does it serve its purpose?

It's not 100%. Maybe in the future. I'm hoping that someday, a bigger company with a reliable track record purchased them and clean up everything.
