About FindTheBest:

FindTheBest is an objective, socially curated comparison engine that allows you to find a topic, compare your options and decide what’s best for you. Ultimately, FindTheBest allows you to make faster and more informed decisions by allowing you to easily compare all the available options, view expert ratings on products and services and read and write reviews on millions of listings.

You’re probably familiar with other comparison sites like NexTag.com and Shopping.com  – which compare specific products like HDTVs and digital cameras – or Kayak.com and Expedia.com—which compare airline tickets. Comparison sites like these do a great job of comparing specific things like consumer products or travel services, but don’t provide comparisons of thousands of other areas of interest to you. Many other “comparison sites” are often driven by affiliate marketing deals “recommending” products or services which pay them the highest referral fees. FindTheBest is unique in that it provides both a broad range of topics to search through—from Smartphones and Nutrition Facts to Colleges and Ski Resorts—as well as an unbiased, expert-sourced, platform free of any hidden advertising.

FindTheBest is organized into nine broad categories including: Arts and Entertainment, Business and Economy, Education, Health, Reference, Science, Society, Sports and Recreation and Technology. Each category includes dozens of Apps from Adventure Travel Vacations to Job Websites. Each App consists of a variety of related listings—from Vail and Whistler ski resorts under the Ski Resorts App to Barack Obama and Angelina Jolie under the Celebrities App—and each listing can be sorted by numerous key filters.

We obtain our information from expert sources—compiled primary data by our researchers or government databases. Our information is constantly being expanded and updated by expert sources in the form of organizations, businesses and people with knowledge in specific areas. As a result, FindTheBest is an Expert-Sourced knowledge base allowing you—as a consumer or company—to contribute information by providing and editing your own listings and by sharing your own ratings and reviews on millions of listings from your favorite beer to your alma mater. In this way, FindTheBest will quickly become a place for you to find and share information as well as add your voice to the community.

In addition to providing you access to unbiased information in a format that is easy to compare, so that you can view all of your options within a context, FindTheBest also has created more than 90 million questions and data-driven answers. So now, when you type a specific question into your favorite search engine, for example – how much is the tuition at New York University? Or, how many calories does a McDonalds hamburger have? — FindTheBest will be able to provide you with an exact, objective answer.
