Courtesy of Online MBA, here’s a cheat sheet for how four of the most popular daily deals sites and services — LivingSocial, Groupon, Facebook Deals and Google Offers — work, including how much money these companies are making and how many users each one might have.
Facebook Deals and Google Offers are the two newer competitors in this already crowded field. While these programs come from two of the biggest names and the most powerful companies in the Internet’s ecosystem, we don’t yet have enough data on these specific features to really judge how well they’ll perform in the real world, where Groupon and its pure-play ilk are already fairly well established.
Take a look at the information presented below, and in the comments, let us know if you think the tech behemoths will crush the deals-focused startups or if you believe the startups have staying power — or perhaps daily deals aren’t a zero-sum game and there’s room for all these companies to profit.
