How PadelRadar compares prices

By PadelRadar editorial teamUpdated 26 September 2026

Key takeaways

PadelRadar collects prices once a day from around 20 European online shops, using their product pages and official affiliate product feeds.
Each shop listing is matched to one catalogue product by brand, model, model year and barcode when available; uncertain matches are reviewed before they are published.
The lowest price is the cheapest in-stock offer, compared in euros before coupons and shipping, and shown in the shop’s own currency.
Every product page shows its all-time low and 3-month low from our daily price history, next to the retailer’s crossed-out reference price.
Affiliate commissions never change the order of prices: every comparison is sorted cheapest first.

PadelRadar, the padel price comparison site, collects prices from 19 online shops in 8 European countries once a day, matches every listing to a single product, and ranks the in-stock offers from cheapest to most expensive in euros. Today that covers 693 products in stock. Last price update: 26 September 2026.

This page explains exactly what those prices are, where they come from, and where their limits are.

Where do the prices come from?

From two sources, both collected once a day:

Retailers’ product pages, read automatically from the shop’s public website
Official product feeds that some retailers publish through affiliate networks, which include price, stock and product identifiers

The shops are based in Spain, France, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Ireland, Denmark and Sweden. The full list of shops we compare, with our partner retailers marked, is on the partners page.

How are shop listings matched to one product?

Every shop names the same racquet differently: brand first or last, year or no year, extra words like "racket" or a colour. Our matching engine compares the brand, model name, model year and, when the shop provides one, the barcode (EAN), then scores how confident the match is.

Confident matches are published automatically.
Uncertain matches go to a review queue and are only published once confirmed.
Listings we can’t match reliably are left out rather than guessed.

We treat different model years as different products, because a 2025 racquet and its 2026 successor often differ in price and specs.

Which prices count?

In-stock offers only. An out-of-stock listing never counts as the lowest price.
The price shown by the shop, normally including VAT for the shop’s market.
Shipping is not included unless stated. Delivery costs and free-shipping thresholds vary by shop and destination.
Coupons are shown separately. When a shop has an active discount code, we show it next to the offer, but the listed price is the price before the code.
Shoe sizes: a shoe’s price applies to the sizes the shop has in stock, which may not include yours. Check your size on the shop.

What does "lowest price" mean?

The cheapest in-stock offer for that product across every shop we compare, measured in euros, before coupons and shipping. Offers are always sorted from cheapest to most expensive.

How are currencies handled?

We compare everything in euros and display each offer in the shop’s own currency. Prices in pounds (GBP), Swedish kronor (SEK) and Danish kroner (DKK) are converted to euros with exchange rates refreshed at each daily update, only to sort and compare them. You pay what the shop charges, in its currency.

How do price history and deals work?

Every day we record each product’s lowest price. That history feeds three indicators on every product page:

Indicator	What it measures	How to use it
All-time low	Lowest daily price since we started tracking the product	Today at or near it: a strong price
3-month low	Lowest daily price over roughly the last 90 days	Today above it: the price was lower recently, consider waiting
Suggested price	The shop’s crossed-out reference price, or the brand’s recommended retail price when no shop shows one	A starting point only: crossed-out prices can be inflated

The deals page lists in-stock products whose lowest price is at least 15% below the retailer’s own reference price, biggest discount first. Because a crossed-out price on its own can mislead, always compare it with the 3-month low before buying. Our guide to reading padel price history walks through real-world cases.

What are the limits?

Prices can change between two daily updates. Always confirm the price, stock and delivery cost on the shop before paying.
Not every shop ships to every country. Delivery options are the retailer’s, not ours.
History starts when we start tracking a product. A recently added product has a short history, so its all-time low covers only that period.
Specs are incomplete. Shape, level and weight are not yet available for every product.
We don’t cover every padel shop in Europe, and we don’t lab-test products.

How are retailers chosen?

We add European online shops that sell padel equipment, publish prices and stock we can read reliably, and deliver to at least one of the countries we serve. Paying us a commission is not a condition for being listed and never changes a shop’s position. We monitor data quality for every shop (how many listings match, how fresh the prices are) and fix or remove sources that stop returning reliable data.

How does PadelRadar make money?

Some retailers pay us an affiliate commission when you buy through our links. That never changes the order of prices, and partner shops are labelled. More on the about page.

Frequently asked questions

How often does PadelRadar update prices?

PadelRadar updates prices once a day. Each daily run collects prices and stock from every shop we compare, refreshes exchange rates, adds a new point to each product’s price history and sends any price alerts that were triggered. A shop can still change a price between two runs, so always confirm the final price on the retailer’s site.

Do PadelRadar prices include shipping?

No, prices on PadelRadar do not include shipping unless it is stated. They are the prices displayed by each shop, normally including VAT, and coupons are shown separately. Delivery costs and free-shipping thresholds depend on the shop and your country, so a slightly more expensive offer can end up cheaper once delivery is added. Check the total at checkout.

Do shops that pay PadelRadar get a better position?

No. Affiliate commissions never change the order of prices on PadelRadar: every comparison is sorted from cheapest to most expensive in euros, whether or not the shop pays us. Partner retailers carry a visible badge so you always know which links earn us a commission, and shops that pay nothing are compared in exactly the same way.

How does PadelRadar decide that a price is a deal?

A product appears on the PadelRadar deals page when its lowest in-stock price is at least 15% below the retailer’s own reference price. Because crossed-out prices can be inflated, each product page also shows the all-time low and 3-month low from our daily history. A discount that is also at or near the 3-month low is the most reliable signal.

Why is the price on the shop different from PadelRadar?

The most common reason is timing: PadelRadar refreshes prices once a day, and shops can change a price or sell out in between. Other causes are a price that depends on size or colour, a coupon applied at checkout, shipping added to the total, or currency conversion for shops outside the eurozone. The shop’s checkout price is always the one that counts.

What does the all-time low on PadelRadar mean?

The all-time low is the lowest daily best price PadelRadar has recorded for a product since we started tracking it, across all the shops we compare. It is not the lowest price ever charged anywhere: shops we don’t cover and periods before tracking began are not included. For a recently added product, the all-time low covers only a short period.
