Our promise to our customers

We are unbiased

At idealo, no-one pays to rank the highest. It’s simple - any shop can go top if they have the cheapest price. All our business partners are screened for integrity, legality and creditworthiness.    

We are neutral 

We don’t sell anything: rather, we give consumers information on the products and offers available in online shops. At idealo, anyone can find expert advice, without being coerced into buying. 

We are transparent 

We help our users to better navigate the often obscure world of online shopping. Using idealo is completely free of charge for all consumers.

Our company philosophy

38-heart_balloon

As a basis for our day-to-day we believe in giving people the space they need, balancing their careers with their private lives. We want to spend our time in an environment where family, personal life and work are in harmony with one another.

Trust is the bedrock this freedom is built upon, both in the relationship between a company and its employees and in the relationships between coworkers. 

Our Company Values

Our company values are an integral part of our company philosophy. They form the foundation for entrepreneurial, ethical and collaborative cooperation.

Openness and Honesty 

We see these two values as the basis for interacting with one another. This allows us to collaborate as a team with mutual trust and to achieve more together and happier than we would alone. 

 

Courage and Tolerance

We have the courage to assume responsibility for our own work, and to admit to our own mistakes and deal with them. One is nothing without the other.

In the same breath, we show tolerance for the mistakes of others so that it’s easier for everyone to openly admit to their own mistakes

Integrity

We act with integrity and in accordance with our convictions. We stand behind our statements and follow up our words with action. We cultivate this integrity both within idealo and with respect to our users and partners.
