Our review
Hintaopas is described in its terms as part of the Prisjakt Group, whose parent company is Prisjakt Sverige AB. Services in Finland are provided primarily by Prisjakt Finland Oy, business ID 2697246-5.
Its privacy policy names Prisjakt Sverige AB (registration number 556665-1799, Kamengatan 6, Ängelholm) as the party responsible for personal data. The footer reads © 2000-2026 Prisjakt Finland Oy.
What does a Hintaopas product page tell you?
According to the site's own About page, each product shows the price history so you can see whether the price is high or low now. The site also shows shipping costs and stock status, and lists prices from Finnish shops.
Members can create price watches that report falling prices, and ask to be told when a new product reaches a shop's stock.
What does it cost, and how is it paid for?
The About page says use of the price and product comparison services is free for consumers and that membership is free. The service does not earn money by selling products.
Hintaopas states that it earns from agreements with shops and charges a shop whenever it sends a visitor there. It says prices are always shown in order from lowest to highest.
Where does it fall short of Google Shopping?
Hintaopas lists Finnish shops, which is narrower than a general search surface. The pages we read are in Finnish.
In return it names its entity and business ID, states the minimum age of 15, and explains in the terms which Prisjakt company handles personal data.
Where it falls short
The pages we read do not show a street address for Prisjakt Finland Oy, a data location or a shop count. Coverage is limited to Finnish shops. The terms say some services may be provided by other companies in the group. For Swedish and UK shops see Prisjakt.
Is Hintaopas right for you?
Shoppers in Finland who want price history, price drop alerts and saved lists from a Nordic operator.
