About

One price comparison site, done properly.

Buying a phone in Australia means opening five tabs, decoding five naming schemes and still wondering if you missed a sale. Compare Empire does that legwork every day and puts the answer on one page. We're starting with phones and growing from there.

Our promises

  • The cheapest price is first

    Rankings are by price and stock. No retailer can pay to move up.

  • Real prices only

    Every price comes from the retailer's own website, checked daily. If we can't see it, we don't show it.

  • Like-for-like

    We match the exact model and storage size, so a 128GB price never hides behind a 512GB one.

  • No dark patterns

    No pop-ups, no sign-up walls, no fake countdowns. Saved phones stay in your browser.

How it works

  1. 1. We visit every store. Each morning our scrapers read the public phone listings of every retailer below.
  2. 2. We match the phones. “Apple iPhone 17 Pro 256GB (Deep Blue)” at one shop and “iPhone 17 Pro 256GB - Deep Blue” at another are the same phone — we line them up by brand, model and storage.
  3. 3. We drop the noise. Refurbished, carrier-locked and bundle listings are left out so you're comparing new, unlocked phones.
  4. 4. We keep the history. Every day's best price is stored, so a “sale” that's really last month's price shows up for what it is.

How we make money

Right now, we don't. When we do, it will be through affiliate links and clearly-labelled ads — and neither will ever change the order of prices. If a store pays us, you'll still see the cheapest one first.
