Our Principles
Always Up-to-Date
We re-check every provider's website weekly, and show the date each price was last confirmed.
Transparent
We show you the real costs, not just headline discounts. For energy, we show Year 1 AND Year 2 prices. For savings, we show rates after DIRT tax (33%).
Ireland-Focused
Built specifically for Irish consumers. We understand DIRT tax, eircode coverage, CRU regulations, and the quirks of Irish providers.
Our Data
SmartSaver.ie uses automated scrapers to collect pricing data directly from provider websites. We re-check every provider's website weekly and show the date each price was last confirmed. All data is verified and cross-referenced for accuracy.
Data sources include official provider websites, regulatory filings (CRU for energy), and direct provider communications.
How We Make Money
SmartSaver.ie is free to use. We may receive affiliate commissions when users click through to provider websites and sign up for products. However, this does not affect our rankings or recommendations - we always show the best deals first, regardless of commission.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is SmartSaver.ie really independent?
Yes. SmartSaver.ie is not owned by or affiliated with any bank, energy supplier, broadband provider, or mobile network. We're an independent comparison service focused on helping Irish consumers find the best deals.
How often is the data updated?
Our automated scrapers run weekly, early on Monday morning. Each price carries the date it was last confirmed on the provider's website.
Why do you show rates after DIRT tax for savings?
DIRT (Deposit Interest Retention Tax) of 33% applies to most savings account interest in Ireland. We show the after-tax rate so you can see your real return. State Savings products are DIRT-free and shown as such.
Why do you show Year 2 prices for energy?
Many energy providers offer large discounts in Year 1 that expire after 12 months. By showing Year 2 prices, we help you understand the true long-term cost of each tariff, not just the introductory offer.
