The energy and telecommunications markets are a veritable “tariff jungle”, and an increasingly large number of consumers are finding the huge number of tariffs on offer more confusing than helpful.
For Germany alone, the Verivox database currently encompasses more than 15700 energy tariffs from over 910 electricity and about 750 gas suppliers, in addition to 3700 telecommunications tariffs from more than 360 providers. Our tariff comparison tool presents this information in a clear and structured way, making it easily understandable to users.
Our databases are updated daily by our dedicated research teams working in several European cities. Our data is primarily based on the meticulous analysis of thousands of suppliers’ online offers. We also work in close co-operation with supplier organisations, from which we receive tariff data updates. Our product managers ensure the high quality of our tariff data by clarifying all complex tariffs with suppliers’ tariff departments. -
Our tariff calculators are developed in-house in order to enable us to adapt to any changes in tariff structure, such as the recent introduction in Germany of dual fuel tariffs. The calculators are designed to offer personalised and up-to-date price comparisons.
Additionally, our energy and telecommunications experts provide intelligent and informed content in the form of news articles, industry information and consumer advice.
In November 2007, Verivox was the only portal rated ‘very good’ in an energy price comparison test organised by trade magazine “Computer”.
The magazine summarises: “In addition to the multitude of suppliers and timeliness of tariffs, the portal also impressed us with its wealth of practical information”. -
Verivox is independent of organisations operating in the energy and telecommunications sectors. The majority shareholders in Verivox are the two CEOs Andrew Goodwin and Alexander Preston. Independent News & Media, an independent media organisation based in Ireland (publisher of “The Independent”, LSE: INWS.L), holds a minority stake.
