Uswitch is a well-known price comparison service, showing customers prices from a range of services such as broadband, credit cards, loans and home energy.
The are owned by RVU – a firm created by US private equity house Silverlake and US-based publisher Red Ventures. RVU also owns Confused.com and Money.co.uk.
As a comparison site, unlike Switchd, they do not go on looking for a better deal for customers once they have introduced them to a new provider.
They make their money by receiving commissions from the providers they switch their customers to.
As a free service, Uswitch highlights the providers who pay a commission back to them, rather than the best deal for the customer.
Since being investigated by the UK government's Energy Select Committee, comparison sites such as Uswitch are now technically prevented from completely hiding providers who don't pay a commission. However, you have to dig around their results to find the cheapest deals and even then, they won't help you switch.
Switchd will not only find you the cheapest deal, but we'll manage the switch for you AND go on looking for a better deal.
We're different because we don't take a commission from energy providers. Instead, we charge a small membership fee (starting at £2.69 a month) and in return, we can switch you to any deal on the market. Switchd can typically save you over £100 more than comparison sites.
