Comparison of Comparisons

A comparison of price comparison websites

The Comparison of Comparisons is a regular excercise which we here at PrudentPanda.co.uk go through on a regular basis to make sure we are competitive against the plethora of other price comparison websites available to you. It is simply a survey which compares PrudentPanda.co.uk against 4 of the most popular comparison engines but we are so proud of the results that we decided to publish them here for all to see.

We take a set of 25 of the most searched for products on our website, across all product categories, and search for these on our competitors websites comparing the price shown against that shown by PrudentPanda.co.uk. We also compare the number of retailers that website lists for the product to see which one gives the wider scope of buying options.

Below is the results of the latest survey with prices taken on 16 June 2010. The only price used is that which is actually in stock at the retailer.

Once again it shows that PrudentPanda.co.uk shows the cheapest price in the vast majority of instances. Find out why >>
