Founded in Galway, Ideal Compare Platform was built on a simple belief: consumers deserve transparent, unbiased information before making important financial decisions. Too often, people overpay for insurance, energy or broadband simply because they lack the time to research every provider on the market.
Our platform aggregates data from dozens of Irish and international providers, normalises the fine print, and presents you with clear, apples-to-apples comparisons. We never accept hidden commissions that skew results — our revenue comes from flat referral fees disclosed on every quote page.
With over ten thousand comparisons completed each month, our users save an average of €340 per year across all product categories. Our dedicated support team, based right here in Connacht, is available by phone and email to walk you through any quote or switching process.
Compare car, home, health and life insurance policies from Ireland's top underwriters. We display excess amounts, cover limits and exclusions so nothing is hidden from view.
Electricity and gas tariffs change quarterly. Our engine tracks unit rates, standing charges and green energy options across every supplier licensed by the CRU, helping you switch in minutes.
Fibre, satellite or 5G — we list download speeds, data caps, contract lengths and bundle discounts from every major Irish provider so you always pick the fastest connection at the best price.
APR, introductory rates, cashback and reward points — our financial comparison tool lets you filter by credit score range so you only see products you are likely to be approved for.
Fixed, variable or split — compare mortgage offers from Irish banks and credit unions. We calculate total cost of credit over the full term so you see the true expense, not just the headline rate.
Monthly fees, ATM charges, overdraft interest and app features differ widely between Irish banks. Our comparison highlights the accounts that genuinely cost less for your spending habits.
Select a category — insurance, energy, broadband or finance — and answer a few quick questions about your situation so we can tailor results.
Our engine queries live pricing data and returns a ranked list of providers. Sort by price, rating, contract length or coverage level.
Click through to your chosen provider or contact our team for guided switching. We handle the paperwork and follow up to confirm everything is in place.
Yes, our comparison tool is completely free for consumers. We earn a small, transparent referral fee from providers when you switch through our platform. This fee never affects the price you pay — providers are contractually required to offer the same rate as their direct channel.
Across all categories we compare more than 60 providers operating in the Irish market. We continuously add new entrants and remove any that lose their regulatory licence, so the panel is always current.
Comparing quotes on our platform uses soft credit checks, which do not impact your credit score. A hard check only occurs once you formally apply with a chosen provider, and we clearly label that step before you proceed.
Energy and broadband prices are refreshed daily. Insurance quotes are generated in real time via API connections to each insurer. Financial product rates are updated within 24 hours of any change published by the provider.
Absolutely. Our Galway-based support team is available Monday to Friday, 9 am to 6 pm. Call us at +353 91 103 6592 or email [email protected] and a specialist will guide you through every step of the comparison and switching process.
