Switcheroo

Switcheroo, a British comparison site for energy, broadband and mobile

Switcheroo is a tariff comparison platform based in the United Kingdom that operates through switcheroo.co.uk. Its activity focuses on helping users compare and switch providers of essential services for the home and for businesses, with the stated aim of reducing household bills. The company claims to have two million customers who have already used its services.

Comparison areas for the home

The platform organises its offering into several themed blocks. In the domestic sphere, it allows users to compare gas and electricity prices, explore fixed and green tariffs, and check leading UK energy suppliers. It also offers broadband deal comparison, with options by location, fibre, non-fibre, no contract, and packages that combine broadband with phone or TV. In mobile, it covers comparisons of contracts, SIM-only tariffs, unlimited data, 5G and 4G, and handset deals from brands such as iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel. It also includes comparison of home, car and pet insurance, as well as mortgages.

Services for businesses

Switcheroo has a specific section for business users. There, users can compare commercial gas and electricity tariffs, as well as mobile fleet insurance, professional indemnity, public liability and commercial property insurance. The platform separates these journeys from domestic ones to direct each type of user to the corresponding comparison.

Providers and coverage

The comparison site works with a broad list of energy suppliers, including British Gas, EDF, OVO Energy, Octopus Energy, Scottish Power and Utility Warehouse. In broadband, it includes operators such as Sky Broadband, Virgin Media, Vodafone, YouFibre, Cuckoo, Rise Fibre, EE Broadband and Community Fibre, as well as alternative networks such as CityFibre, Freedom Fibre, Full Fibre, Fusion Fibre, MS3 Networks, Netomnia and Openreach. In mobile, it compares deals from Sky Mobile, Three Mobile, Vodafone, giffgaff and iD Mobile. Broadband coverage is also organised by location, with specific pages for London, Manchester, Cardiff, Birmingham and Bristol, as well as nationwide and rural comparisons.
