We don't sell packages. We explain every pound you spend.

Most comparison service providers bundle their work into opaque tiers. We take a different approach: every cost element is visible, negotiable, and justified. You choose the depth. You control the spend. This page exists so you never have to wonder what you're paying for.

What Actually Drives Your Cost

The single biggest factor is how many providers you need compared. Comparing 5 insurance options costs less than comparing 20 SaaS platforms — not because we charge more per item, but because data sourcing and normalisation take longer.

The second factor is criteria complexity. A straightforward price-versus-features comparison is quick. A weighted multi-dimensional analysis involving compliance, support quality, contract flexibility, and integration depth requires more analyst hours.

We never inflate scope. If your decision can be made with a simpler comparison, we'll tell you — and charge accordingly.

"They actually talked me out of the deeper analysis because my situation didn't need it. Saved me about £300."— D. Hargreaves, procurement lead at a Cardiff logistics firm

Why This Isn't a Packages Page

Packages Hide Waste

A "Gold" tier forces you to pay for deliverables you may not need. Our itemised model means you approve each line before work begins.

You approve every £

Your Scope Is Unique

No two comparison briefs are the same. A rigid package can't flex to your actual question. Our pricing bends to fit your decision.

Built around your brief

Transparency Builds Trust

When you see exactly what each hour produces, you trust the outcome more. That's the entire point of a comparison service.

"We were drowning in vendor proposals. Compare Ace structured everything into a single decision matrix. The £310 we spent probably saved us from a £12,000/year mistake."

"I appreciated that they didn't try to upsell monitoring when I only needed a one-off comparison. Honest, fast, and the report was genuinely useful."

Clarity Notes

Common questions about how our pricing works in practice.

No contractual minimum. The smallest engagement we've done was a £85 criteria-mapping session for a freelancer choosing between two invoicing tools. If your question is simple, the cost is small.

Yes. Monitoring is a standalone monthly service at £55/month. You can start it immediately after your initial comparison or months later. There's no setup fee if we already have your criteria on file.

The recommendation is based on your stated criteria. If your priorities shift during the process, we'll re-weight at no extra charge (one revision is included). If you simply want a second opinion on the scoring, we'll walk you through the methodology in a 20-minute call.

Both. About a third of our clients are individuals comparing personal finance products, broadband providers, or insurance. The process is the same; the scope is usually smaller.
