Best for: Shoppers in Austria and Germany who want a comparison portal with a fully disclosed owner
Geizhals is run by Preisvergleich Internet Services AG at Rothschildplatz 3 in Vienna, registered at the Handelsgericht Wien under Firmenbuchnummer 197241k. The imprint names Mag. Markus Nigl as Vorstand. The site has country editions for Austria and Germany plus an EU edition, and it combines price and product comparison with filters, wish lists, deals, editorial buying guides and a user forum.
The imprint goes further than the others in this category on ownership. It lists Heise Gruppe GmbH & Co. KG in Hannover as the topmost legal entity and Ansgar Heise as indirect beneficial owner with 61 percent. The limits are on the shopper side: the terms we read (AGB) are written for shops, we found no consumer price, no alert description and no data location, and only two of the country sites could be confirmed.
What Geizhals does well
- Imprint with register number, VAT ID and board
- Ownership disclosed up to the beneficial owner
- Wish lists and a country switch
- Operating since 1997 according to the imprint
- Editorial guides and a forum next to the prices
Where Geizhals falls short
- No consumer price statement on the pages we read
- No price alert wording found
- Data location not stated
- Privacy text refers to Austrian law only in general terms
Standout feature. Geizhals is the only site in this category whose imprint traces ownership from the operator up to a named beneficial owner.
Ängelholm, Sweden
No consumer price shown on the pages we read
Demo on request
Best for: Shoppers in Sweden and the UK who want deals, price tracking and saved lists in one place
Prisjakt is the Swedish comparison service of Prisjakt Sverige AB, registration number 556665-1799, based at Kamengatan 6 in Ängelholm. Its Swedish site shows a daily deals section, category pages and shop campaigns, and the UK edition under the name PriceSpy is priced in pounds. Price drop tracking, saved lists, a shopping assistant and a mobile app round out what the pages describe.
The footer of the Swedish site says the company has been on the shopper's side since 2002, and the PriceSpy privacy policy names the same company as data controller with a Data Protection Officer contact. The gaps are coverage and disclosure: only the Swedish and UK sites were read in full, there is no Spanish or Italian edition in what we saw, and the pages state neither a consumer price nor a data location.
What Prisjakt (PriceSpy) does well
- Named Swedish company with registration number and address
- Daily deals section showing the discount
- Price drop tracking and saved lists
- Separate UK site in pounds
- The group also runs a Finnish site
Where Prisjakt (PriceSpy) falls short
- No consumer pricing statement on the pages we read
- Data location not stated
- Coverage limited to its own country sites
- Only the Swedish and UK sites were read in full
Standout feature. Prisjakt is the only site here that serves two separate national markets, Sweden and the United Kingdom, under one named controller.
Moires, Heraklion, Crete, Greece
Free for consumers, according to the About page
Demo on request
Best for: Shoppers in Greece who want price history and alerts from a Greek-run service
BestPrice.gr states on its About page that it compares prices from more than 4,000 Greek online shops and about 12 million offers. The service began in 2001 as Pathfinder Shopping and took the BestPrice name in 2011. Product pages carry a price chart with history, and the site adds price drop alerts, wish lists, store ratings, buyer reviews and a purchase insurance programme.
The company side is slightly confusing. The privacy policy, updated 16 September 2024, names a Greek societe anonyme trading as Phaistos Networks at 25is Martiou 76 in Moires, Heraklion, Crete, while the footer and About page name The Best Company S.A. We did not find a page that explains the relation between the two. The site covers Greek shops only and prohibits automated price monitoring.
What BestPrice does well
- Price chart showing history
- Price drop alerts and wish lists
- Free comparison stated on the About page
- Greek seat and tax number in the privacy policy
- Says plainly that it is not a shop
Where BestPrice falls short
- Greece only
- Two company names without an explanation
- Data location not stated
- Automated price monitoring is prohibited
Standout feature. BestPrice states the highest specific shop count in this category, more than 4,000 Greek shops according to its own About page.
not stated (Finland), Finland
Free for consumers, according to the site's own description; shops are charged for referred visitors
Demo on request
Best for: Shoppers in Finland who want price history and alerts without paying
Hintaopas is the Finnish member of the Prisjakt Group, and its terms say services in Finland are provided mainly by Prisjakt Finland Oy, business ID 2697246-5. Each product page carries a price history, and the site sends price drop alerts and restock notices, shows shipping cost and stock, collects user reviews and has a barcode scanner in its app. The minimum age to register is 15.
On cost, the site describes itself as free for consumers and charges shops for the visitors it refers to them. The footer reads © 2000-2026 Prisjakt Finland Oy, yet the privacy policy places responsibility for personal data with the Swedish parent, Prisjakt Sverige AB. We saw no street address for the Finnish company, no data location and no shop count, and coverage stops at Finnish shops.
What Hintaopas does well
- Price history on every product
- Price drop alerts and restock notices
- Free membership stated
- Business ID and parent company named
- Barcode scanner in the app
Where Hintaopas falls short
- Finnish shops only
- No street address for the Finnish entity in what we read
- Data location not stated
- Personal data handled by the Swedish parent rather than the Finnish company
Standout feature. Hintaopas is the only site here that combines price history, price drop alerts and restock notices with a barcode scanner for in-store checks.
Karlsruhe, Germany
Free account registration stated; no other consumer price shown
Demo on request
Best for: German shoppers who want deals checked against a 30-day best price
billiger.de is a brand of solute GmbH, Zeppelinstraße 15 in Karlsruhe, registered at Amtsgericht Mannheim under HRB 748044. The imprint names Dr. Thilo Gans and Bernd Vermaaten as managing directors and says outright that the portal is not an online shop. It shows shipping cost beside each price, keeps a notepad and price alerts for users with a free account, and writes reviews of shops and products.
Its deals section measures an advertised discount against the best price of the previous 30 days, which is a stricter yardstick than a manufacturer's list price. A DSA contact point is named. On the downside, the pages mention only the German market, the data location is missing, the privacy text refers in general terms to analysis and third-party tools, and the tariff comparison section is run by another company.
What billiger.de does well
- Full imprint with HRB number and managing directors
- Shipping cost shown beside the price
- Deals measured against the best price of the last 30 days
- Notepad and price alerts with a free account
- DSA contact point named
Where billiger.de falls short
- German market only in what we read
- Data location not stated
- Privacy text mentions third-party analysis tools
- Tariff section run by a different company
Standout feature. billiger.de tests each advertised deal against the best price of the previous 30 days instead of an advertised reference price.
Bellenberg, Germany
Free, non-binding information for consumers, according to the terms
Demo on request
Best for: Shoppers in Switzerland and Liechtenstein who want local shop prices
Toppreise.ch names Toppreise Preisvergleich GmbH & Co. KG, Siebenbrunnen 1 in Bellenberg, as the responsible party, with Jörg Schlimm and Uwe Hörmann as representatives. The terms describe an information service for price comparisons of online shops, aimed mainly at consumers in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, and say German law applies. You can sort by product price or shipping price, keep wish lists, compare products, and read the site in German, French or English.
The limits are stated by the operator itself. Only connected Swiss and Liechtenstein shops are listed, prices can be out of date between database updates, and no liability is taken for availability data. The privacy page text was not visible in what we read, and login offers Facebook, Google and Apple accounts. The only Swiss-market site in this category is therefore run from Germany.
What Toppreise.ch does well
- Named operator with a German address and VAT ID
- Free, non-binding use stated in the terms
- Sorting by product price and shipping price
- Wish lists and product comparison
- Three interface languages
Where Toppreise.ch falls short
- Only connected shops are listed
- Prices may be outdated between updates
- Privacy policy text not readable in our fetch
- Operator seat is in Germany, not Switzerland
Standout feature. Toppreise.ch is the only site here built around Swiss and Liechtenstein shops, with the interface in three languages.
Paris, France
Free, according to the French home page ("Indépendant & gratuit depuis 1999")
Demo on request
Best for: Shoppers in France who want a long-running comparison site with a named French company
Kelkoo's French site names Kelkoo SAS in the footer, 64-66 Rue des Archives in Paris, and the group privacy policy gives RCS Paris number 425 093 069 and names the CNIL as lead supervisory authority. The home page calls the service independent and free since 1999. It offers price drop tracking and alerts, a deals section, merchant ratings and prices shown with shipping included, on a French catalogue of 45 million products and 500 shops.
The group page adds that Kelkoo was founded in France in 1999, works across 29 markets and is headquartered in London, which sits outside the EU. It also presents Kelkoo as a marketing platform for advertisers, a different audience from shoppers. Who owns the group above Kelkoo SAS is not stated in what we read, and only the French consumer site was checked.
What Kelkoo does well
- Company number and Paris address in the footer
- French supervisory authority named
- Price drop tracking and alerts
- Prices shown including all costs
- Free service stated on the home page
Where Kelkoo falls short
- Group HQ is in London
- Ownership above Kelkoo SAS not stated
- Group pages target advertisers
- Only the French consumer site was read
Standout feature. Kelkoo is the only site here with a French operator that also names its supervisory authority, the CNIL, as lead authority for the group.
Zwolle, Netherlands

Best for: Dutch-speaking shoppers in Belgium who want a comparison site with listed company details
Vergelijk.be gives Compare International B.V., Assendorperdijk 1 in Zwolle, with chamber of commerce number 30211738, on its contact page. The privacy policy names the same company as controller and says the site belongs to Compare Group B.V. On the day we read the home page it counted 341 shops, 17,566,175 products and 10,122,754 reviews, and it shows reviews next to prices.
The footer links sister sites for the Netherlands, France, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Austria, Spain, Italy and Portugal, which is the widest network in this category. The weak points are in the detail: we found no price alert or price history wording, several company names appear (Compare International B.V., Compare Group B.V., Vergelijk.nl B.V.), the terms we read are for advertisers, and ownership above the group is not stated.
What Vergelijk.be does well
- Operator, address and chamber of commerce number on the contact page
- Sister sites in many European countries
- Reviews shown alongside prices
- Belgian authority named for privacy complaints
- Visiting without registration is possible
Where Vergelijk.be falls short
- No price alert or price history wording found

Standout feature. Vergelijk.be links to sister sites in eleven other countries, the widest cross-border network of any site in this category.
Arnhem, Netherlands
No consumer price shown on the pages we read
Demo on request
Best for: Dutch shoppers who want one cart across several webshops
Beslist.nl is operated by Beslist.nl B.V., Meander 825 in Arnhem, according to its contact page. The home page claims 100 million products and thousands of webshops with current prices, and the contact page stresses that the site is an overview, not a shop, and sells nothing itself. A help page covers disputes with shops, and webshop reviews sit next to the offers.
What sets Beslist apart is its own checkout, the beslist.nl Winkelwagen, where you can optionally gather items from several webshops in one cart. The reading was incomplete: we did not read the privacy statement or terms in full, so there is no company number or owner in our notes, and no price alert or price history wording appeared. The site is available in Dutch only.
What Beslist.nl does well
- Named Dutch B.V. with an address
- States it sells nothing itself
- Help page for conflicts with shops
- Webshop reviews
- Optional shared cart
Where Beslist.nl falls short
- Privacy statement not read
- No company number found
- No price alert wording found
- Dutch market only
Standout feature. Beslist.nl is the only site here with an optional shared cart that spans several webshops.
Haarlem, Netherlands

Demo on request
Best for: Dutch shoppers who want prices next to product reviews
Kieskeurig.nl belongs to Reshift Digital B.V., Nijverheidsweg 18 in Haarlem, a media company whose brands include Computer!Totaal, MacWorld and Gamer.nl. The home page title promises prices, reviews and the best deals, and the menu has a Prijsdalers section for price drops. Alongside the price comparison are a best-reviewed list, shop and brand overviews and safety tips with alerts.
Sister sites exist for Belgium (Kieskeurig.be), France (Comparigo.fr) and Germany (Comparigo.de). A quote form from a third party is explained as separate from the comparison. The privacy text covers the whole media company rather than only the comparison service, data may be shared within the group, and we found no company number, no data location and no consumer price.

- Named Dutch B.V. with an address

Prague, Czech Republic
No consumer price shown on the pages we read
Demo on request
Best for: Shoppers in the Czech Republic who already use the Seznam portal
Zboží.cz is a service of Seznam.cz, a.s., whose footer reads © 1996 – 2026. The Seznam privacy policy gives its seat as Radlická 3294/10 in Prague 5, company number 26168685, registered at the Municipal Court in Prague, section B, entry 6493. The page title promises thousands of shops in one place, and the site has a wide category tree, discount and price drop labels, and an area where shops register and administer their listings.
The company sits in a larger portfolio next to mail, maps and news, and it names Chronos Consulting, s.r.o. as data protection officer.

Hamburg, Germany

Demo on request
Best for: German shoppers who browse by category and compare partner shop offers
shopping24 is run by shopping24 Gesellschaft für multimediale Anwendungen mbH, An der Alster 45 in Hamburg, registered at Amtsgericht Hamburg under HRB 63371. The imprint names David Reed as CEO and Nils Grabbert as a representative, and states that shopping24.de is not an online shop and sells none of the listed products. The site works through a category tree, a top products list and links to partner shops.
Price correctness rests with the shops, and the operator accepts no liability for partner price data. The pages we read show no price alert, price history or app. The cookie banner offers a choice to refuse all, but its advertising partners include Google Inc., Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, Criteo SA and RTB House GmbH. That makes shopping24 the weakest fit if your reason for leaving Google Shopping is data exposure.

- Category tree across many product areas
- Consent banner with an option to refuse all
