Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Uswitch operates a UK consumer comparison website that lets users compare and switch providers across a range of household and financial products. Its core categories are energy (including dual fuel, boiler cover and EV charging), broadband and TV (fibre broadband, broadband and home phone, broadband and TV bundles), SIM-only plans (unlimited data, 30-day and travel eSIM deals) and mobile phone contracts, including handset deals for iPhone and Samsung Galaxy devices.

Beyond utilities and telecoms, the site covers car insurance (including temporary, multi-car and young driver cover), home insurance (buildings, contents and pet), current accounts (high-interest and cashback accounts), credit cards (0% balance transfer, 0% purchase and credit-builder cards), mortgages and new boilers. Uswitch also publishes consumer guidance content on topics such as switching broadband or mobile providers, retaining a mobile number when changing networks, identifying a gas or electricity supplier, the energy price cap and average UK gas and electricity bills. A free mobile app allows users to track home energy usage and identify ways to reduce consumption and costs.
