Live in the UK, starting with running gear

Buy the right one,
first time.

SimpleFind is a UK product comparison site. Tell us what you need in your own words, like waterproof running shoes, wide fit, under £160 or a running vest for ultras. We show the products that fit best, score each one on what you asked for, and link to independent reviews. Then you buy from the retailer.

How it works

Say what you need, see what fits

  1. 1

    Say what matters

    Type it how you'd say it, or tap what matters: waterproof, wide fit, quiet, easy to clean, a budget. Slide the things you care about most higher.

  2. 2

    We've already done the reading

    Every product is scored ahead of time against clear questions, using its specs and what independent reviewers found. That's why results are instant.

  3. 3

    See what fits, and why

    Each pick shows its scorecard, and anything lower down says what it missed. When you're ready, you buy from the retailer you trust.

What you actually see

Every score shows its working

A real entry from our first range, running shoes. No star ratings or "editor's choice" badges: just the scores, and where they came from.

Hoka Speedgoat 7

RRP £145 · 275 g · 5 mm drop
Grip 96 Cushioning 100 Stability 99 Breathability 55 Rock protection 40 Wide fit not sure
Believe in the RunB Tier

Dependable over long miles with a livelier midsole and great grip; the toebox is narrow and pointy.

iRunFar

A lighter, better-locked-in Speedgoat that handles fire roads and technical trail alike, but runs small.

  • “Not sure” means not sure.Hoka offers a wide version, but both reviewers found the standard toebox narrow. So we don't pretend: wide fit shows as not sure until the evidence settles.
  • You read the reviews, not our copy of them.We write a one-line takeaway and link to the full review. The people who test the product deserve the clicks.

Our technology

AI that does the work before you arrive

Most AI shopping tools make you chat. Ours does the slow part ahead of time, so the answer is already there when you search.

  • Instant, not conversational.Every product is judged in advance by an AI model built for making decisions, not writing text. Your search is a lookup, so results arrive in under a second. No typing back and forth, no waiting for a reply.
  • Scores, not made-up answers.The model answers precise questions about each product ("is it waterproof?", "is it dishwasher safe?") with a score and a confidence, using the spec sheet and independent reviews. It can't invent a feature, and when the evidence is thin it says "not sure".
  • Always up to date.Every day we check for new independent reviews, new model versions and changes from retailers. When something changes, that product is re-scored automatically, so you see the latest picture the moment you search.
  • Open to checking.Every score comes with what it's based on: the spec, or the line from an independent review. If one looks wrong, you can see why, and tell us.
Our promise

What we won't do

Sell the rankings.We earn a small commission if you buy through a link. The code that ranks products can't even see commission rates, and we test that automatically on every change.

Pad the list.If only three products really fit what you asked for, we won't dress up near-misses as picks. Anything lower down says exactly what it misses.

Follow you around.No advertising trackers, no cookies on this site, and no account or email address needed to use it.

Why we're building this

I do a lot of trail running, and every new pair of trail shoes used to take ages going between review tabs, forum threads and different retailers’ pages where everything is a “best seller”. It's the same story for headphones, a new kettle or a pram.

SimpleFind is the tool I wanted: say what matters, and see what fits and why. It's early, and I'm building it in the open, so if something's missing, tell me.

Questions

Common questions

What is SimpleFind?

A faster way to choose what to buy. Tell us what matters to you and we rank products against exactly those things, showing a scorecard for each so you can see why it made the list.

Is it free?

Yes. SimpleFind is free to use. You always buy directly from the retailer.

How does SimpleFind make money?

When you click through to a retailer and buy something, we may earn a small commission. Commission rates are kept out of our ranking code entirely, so they can never change what we recommend. More on how we earn.

Where do the scores come from?

An AI model built for making judgements, not writing text, scores every product against clear questions using its specs and independent reviews. Each score shows what it's based on, and it says "not sure" when the evidence is thin. More on our technology.

What can I compare today?

Running gear: trail running shoes, road running shoes, and running vests and packs. We're adding outdoor, tech, home and more as each range is ready.

Who do you work with?

We list products from UK retailers and brands, and link to independent reviewers who test them. We work with retailers through affiliate networks such as Awin and directly. Retailers can't pay to change their position in our results. Retailer? See working with us.

Do you sell my data?

No. We don't sell or share your data, and we don't run advertising trackers. You don't need an account or an email address to use SimpleFind. See our privacy policy.
