Full review
The contact page of Vergelijk.be gives Compare International B.V., Assendorperdijk 1, 8012 EG Zwolle, with chamber of commerce number 30211738. The privacy policy names the same company as controller and says the site belongs to Compare Group B.V.

What does the site show?
Visitors browse popular categories and products with a starting price and the number of shops, or search for a product. The home page links reviews and a form for shops to register.
Reviews are part of the counters on the home page, so the site mixes price and opinion data.
How does it earn from shops?
The general terms for advertisers say a click is a registered click on a deeplink, and that for billing at most five clicks from the same IP address or user to the same offer in a 24-hour day are counted.
The terms also describe return-on-ad-spend agreements and a Google comparison-shopping service, under which shop products are listed free of charge and without obligation.
What should a Belgian shopper keep in mind?
The privacy policy points to the Belgian data protection authority for complaints, while the controller sits in the Netherlands. The policy says visiting the site without registering is possible.
The pages we read give no information on price alerts or price history, so use it for plain comparison.
Points against
The pages we read show no consumer price, price alert, price history or data location. The terms we read target advertisers, and the site's group structure uses several company names (Compare International B.V., Compare Group B.V., Vergelijk.nl B.V.). Ownership above the group is not stated. For a Dutch comparison with named company details see Beslist.
