About Q-pons

Q-pons is an independent, creator-safe directory of verified SaaS promo codes. We aggregate discounts from affiliate networks, vendor pricing pages, and YouTube creator content — with ethical attribution built into every line of code.

Why we exist

In December 2024, YouTuber MegaLag exposed that Honey — the most popular coupon extension with 20M+ users — was systematically hijacking affiliate commissions from content creators via last-click attribution. Multiple class-action lawsuits followed. Creators lost trust in the entire coupon aggregator industry.

We built Q-pons to show that coupon aggregation can be done ethically. Every code in our database has a show_affiliate_link flag. Creator codes (vanity codes from YouTubers) bypass our affiliate wrapper entirely. Their commission stays theirs. Always.

How we make money

We earn affiliate commissions on generic promo codes — deals that aren't attributed to any specific creator (e.g. SAVE20, ANNUAL30). When you click through our affiliate link and purchase, we get a small commission at no extra cost to you. Simple, transparent, ethical.

Q-pons is 100% free for users. No accounts, no subscriptions, no premium tiers. Just a clean directory of real deals.

The stack

Q-pons runs on Next.js + Supabase (EU/Stockholm) with Python scrapers that check vendor pricing pages, affiliate network APIs, and YouTube content. Scraped data is validated by an AI model (Groq Cloud llama-3.3-70b) before being stored. No tracking cookies, GDPR compliant, privacy-first.

What we scrape — and what we don’t

Q-pons won’t scrape another aggregator’s curated database. That would be stealing their work — the same pattern we built Q-pons to oppose.
