Why compare the comparison sites?

01
No site shows all deals
Every comparison site has exclusive deals with certain providers. The cheapest car insurance quote on Compare the Market may not appear on GoCompare — and vice versa.
02
Commission distorts results
Comparison sites earn commission from providers. This can influence which results appear first — and which providers aren't shown at all. We score transparency.
03
We test every category
We run real comparisons on every site, check Trustpilot scores, verify FCA registrations, and score each site on provider coverage, UI, and value accuracy.
04
You pick the best site
We tell you which comparison site wins for each category — and which to use as a second check. You go there knowing exactly who to trust.

Find the best comparison site for your category

Independent. Unsponsored. Genuinely useful.

Most UK comparison sites earn commission from the providers they recommend. That's not inherently wrong — but it does mean their rankings can be influenced by who pays the most, not who offers the best deal.

OverCompare is different. We don't take commission. We don't accept payment for rankings. We test the comparison sites themselves — checking how many providers they show, how accurate their prices are, how transparent they are about commission, and what their customers actually say.

Our goal is simple: tell you which comparison site to use first for each category — and which one to cross-check it against. That 2-minute extra step consistently saves £50–£200 per switch.

🚫
No paid rankings
No comparison site has ever paid us for a ranking. Our number one is always our number one.
🔬
Real testing
We run live comparisons on every site, every month. Rankings are based on actual results, not speculation.
📅
Monthly updates
Every page is retested and updated monthly. Stale rankings cost people money — we don't publish them.
⚖️
FCA verified
We check FCA registration numbers for every comparison site in every financial and insurance category.
