How ZeroCatch works
Most deal sites list everything and leave the fine print to you. We do the opposite: a deal only appears here if it passes every rule below. Fewer deals, zero catches.
Pure Freebies
Something genuinely free: a game to keep, a drink, a doughnut. A free account or app is the most we'll ever ask for, and never a payment method.
Instant-Cancel Trials
Free trials you can cancel right after signing up and still keep for the full trial period. We check each service's own terms before listing it, and tell you whether a card is needed at signup.
Anything that needs a purchase
No BOGO, no “free with any order”, no minimum spend.
Points, credit, or gift cards
Bonus points, store cash, and promo credit aren't free stuff; they're a reason to spend.
Free shipping or delivery
Shipping isn't the product. A sale with free shipping is still a sale.
Paid memberships
Perks that need Prime, Circle 360, Walmart+, a phone plan, or a warehouse club. Free loyalty programs are fine.
Rebates and cash back
If you pay first and get money back later, it isn't free.
Limited quantities
“First 50 customers” deals that most people can't actually get.
In-store events
Workshops, parties, and timed events rather than something you can claim.
One audience only
Offers only for teachers, students, military, and so on.
Contests and sweepstakes
A chance to win isn't a freebie.
Trials that end when you cancel
If cancelling early cuts off the trial (Spotify's terms, for example), it isn't instant-cancel safe.
Affiliate links
Every deal links to the brand's own page. We don't earn a cut from your click.
Straight from the source wherever possible: store feeds like Epic Games, Steam, GOG and itch.io, brands' own press releases, and hand-checked lists of trials and yearly freebies. A couple of freebie blogs that allow it are used only as tips: an AI check holds each one to the rules above, and the deal always links to the brand, never the blog. Everything is re-checked every night, and deals disappear the moment they end.
Every deal has a Report a problem link. When several people report the same deal, it's hidden until we've checked it.
