Full review
Prisjakt is a price comparison service operated by Prisjakt Sverige AB, company registration number 556665-1799, at Kamengatan 6 in Ängelholm, Sweden. The PriceSpy UK privacy policy names this company as the data controller and lists a Data Protection Officer contact.
The Swedish site prisjakt.nu shows a daily deals section, category pages, product lists and campaigns from shops. Its footer states that the company has been on the shopper's side since 2002.
What does Prisjakt show for each product?
Prisjakt lists a product with the lowest price, the number of shops that sell it and a rating. The home page we read shows deals with the percentage reduction and a starting price in Swedish kronor.
Shop campaign pages, such as a Black Friday sale at HP Store Sweden, sit next to the product lists and show the same price layout.
Which countries does Prisjakt cover?
The tag configuration on the PriceSpy UK pages maps several domains to countries: Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, France, the UK, New Zealand, Ireland and Austria. We read only the Swedish and UK sites in full, so we confirm those two.
The UK site pricespy.co.uk shows prices in pounds and the same deals layout.
Prisjakt as a European alternative to Google Shopping
Prisjakt Sverige AB gives a Swedish contracting entity and a named data controller, which the Google Shopping pages we fetched did not. The site also offers an account for saved lists and a notice that it can watch prices fall.
Google Shopping is broader in the number of merchants it can reach, and Prisjakt only compares shops in its own country sites.
Where it falls short
The pages we read do not state a consumer price, data location or shop count. Coverage depends on the country site, so a shopper in Spain or Italy has no Prisjakt site in what we read. For Finland see Hintaopas, and for German shopping billiger.de.
Best suited to users of Prisjakt (PriceSpy)
Shoppers in Sweden or the UK who want a Swedish-run comparison with deals, price drop tracking and saved lists.

Common questions
Prisjakt Sverige AB runs both, with company registration number 556665-1799 and an address at Kamengatan 6 in Ängelholm, Sweden. The PriceSpy privacy policy names this company as the controller.
The pages we read show no consumer price for Prisjakt. They also show no paywall, but we do not claim that the service is free.
Prisjakt replaces the price comparison role for shoppers in Sweden and the UK. It does not match the merchant reach of Google Shopping in other countries.
