Every few months, the TipidNation catalog outgrows itself. Readers keep asking where to find deals on things we hadn't built pages for yet, a VPN before a trip, a loan app to compare rates, a drawing tablet for a freelance gig. This time, instead of trickling brands in one at a time, we sat down and shipped 26 of them at once.
The list wasn't random. Every brand added this round came from a pattern in what people were already searching for on the site, plus the gaps that kept showing up in reader questions on Facebook and email. If a category kept getting requested without a matching page, it made the cut.
Why This Batch Looks Different
Most of TipidNation's earlier growth followed obvious categories: shopping apps, travel bookings, food delivery, banks. This round is different. It leans hard into software, VPNs, and fintech, the kind of purchases Filipinos increasingly make without a physical storefront in sight. A freelancer buying a VPN subscription. A small business owner registering a domain. A student comparing loan apps before a tuition deadline. None of that used to live comfortably in a coupon site built around retail categories, so we built the categories to match instead.
Along the way, the brand taxonomy itself grew. TipidNation's backend now recognizes software, VPN, finance, gaming, and education as first-class categories, not afterthoughts bolted onto "shopping." That structural change matters more than any single deal page: it means the next 26 brands slot in cleanly too.
Fashion & Beauty Get Two New Names
PUMA and Love, Bonito join the sportswear and womenswear lineup, sitting alongside Adidas, Nike, and SHEIN. On the beauty side, Sephora and Foreo round things out, a multi-brand beauty retailer paired with the skincare device brand that keeps showing up in every "what's in your routine" comment thread.
The VPN Shelf, Fully Stocked
This is the biggest single addition: five VPN brands in one go. NordVPN, ExpressVPN, ProtonVPN, Private Internet Access VPN, and Hide.me VPN now each have their own page, with plan breakdowns and feature comparison tables so you're not guessing between server counts and device limits. Filipino VPN use has quietly become mainstream, secure browsing on public Wi-Fi, streaming access while traveling, and basic privacy hygiene are no longer niche concerns. The category earned its own shelf.
Tools for Getting Things Built
AppSumo, GoDaddy, CapCut, and Udemy cover the software and skills side, lifetime software deals, domains and hosting, video editing subscriptions, and course discounts that Filipino freelancers and small business owners lean on constantly. XPPen joins as the first drawing tablet brand on the site, a nod to the growing number of digital artists and comic creators building income streams online.
Money Moves: Fintech and Lending
Airwallex gives freelancers and exporters a multi-currency business account without the bank conversion fees. On the lending side, LoanOnline, Finmerkado, Crezu, and Finbro all made the cut, four different marketplaces for comparing personal loan rates from licensed lenders before committing to one.
Travel Extras and Gaming Top-Ups
Airalo and Pelago extend the travel section past hotels and tours into eSIM data and curated experiences. Gamers get Gameseal and SEAGM for topping up Mobile Legends, Genshin Impact, and Steam Wallet without a trip to the load station. And for straight-up marketplace shopping, Alibaba, Taobao, and Gifted PH round out the batch, bulk sourcing, China-direct retail, and digital gift cards in one release.
What Doesn't Change
New categories, same rules. TipidNation still isn't in the business of claiming we've hand-tested every code on this list, we're a savings and deal-discovery platform, not a verification service. What we do is keep the catalog current, refresh offers regularly, and make sure the newest brand on the site is as easy to find as the ones we've carried since 2017. Every new page ships with the same comparison tables, FAQ sections, and internal links to related brands that the rest of the site already uses, no shortcuts just because the category is new. Twenty-six brands in, the mission hasn't moved: help Filipinos spend less on the things they were already going to buy.
