Our Methodology

How we score & rank providers

Every score is earned, not bought. Here's exactly how we evaluate each provider.

01
πŸ”¬Independent Testing

Our analysts sign up as real customers, test every provider's service, app, and support β€” no sponsored placements.

02
πŸ“ŠLive Price Data

We pull live tariff and pricing data daily from 50+ providers so every comparison reflects today's actual market.

03
⭐Weighted Scoring

Each provider is scored across 5 criteria β€” price, service, reliability, flexibility, and value β€” weighted by user importance.

04
πŸ”„Monthly Updates

Reviews are refreshed every month. Scores change when providers raise prices, cut service, or launch new products.

Editorial Independence

Providers cannot pay to improve their scores. We may earn commission when you switch β€” this never influences rankings.

Each provider is scored across 5 weighted criteria: price & value (35%), customer service (25%), reliability (20%), features (12%), and flexibility (8%). Scores are based on independent testing, not paid placements.

We update pricing data daily and refresh full reviews monthly. When a provider changes tariffs, raises prices, or launches new products, scores are recalculated within 30 days.

No. Providers cannot pay to improve their scores or rankings. We may earn a commission when you switch through us β€” this never affects the scores you see.

Prices are pulled live from provider APIs and updated daily. They reflect standard tariffs for a typical household. Your actual price may vary based on usage, location, and eligibility.

Our expert score is based on structured testing across fixed criteria. User reviews reflect real switching experiences. Both are shown separately so you can weigh them independently.

Yes. We are authorised and regulated by the FCA for insurance and loan comparisons. Our energy and broadband comparisons are independently audited. We publish our full methodology above.
