Is switching via a comparison site safe — and fair?
Mostly yes, but not all comparison sites show all suppliers. We explain what to watch for and how to judge the "best" deal honestly.
Switching via a comparison site (Pricewise, Energievergelijken, Easyswitch) is legal and safe — the comparison site itself does not become your supplier. But note: (a) not every supplier is shown — smaller regional players (LocalEnergy, Vandebron, etc.) are often missing because they don't pay affiliate fees; (b) "best" is filtered by affiliate compensation, not always the lowest price; (c) "cashback" via the comparison site comes out of that affiliate fee — sometimes available directly as a discount; (d) model-tariff contracts can hide variable components. Tip: compare 2-3 sites + check one supplier directly. ACM imposes strict transparency rules — comparison sites must disclose which suppliers are compared and how they are compensated.
