# ACDP alternatives — what to use instead

## Honey / browser extensions

Honey optimizes at merchant checkout in a browser. ACDP targets **agent-driven checkout** where no extension runs. Agents need an API contract (resolve + feedback), not DOM injection.

## Rakuten / cashback apps

Cashback apps track attributed purchases. ACDP captures **whether the promo code actually worked** for this basket — including failures, expirations, and ineligible SKUs.

## Generic coupon APIs / scrapers

Scraped code lists go stale fast and lack basket-level verification. ACDP compounds trust via mandatory feedback after checkout.

## When to use agentpromocode

Use ACDP when an LLM or agent recommends a purchase and needs to verify the best commercial route before the user pays.
