Our data and how we compare

Abonnement-goedkoop.nl is a Dutch comparison site for mobile plans. It compares Sim Only plans and plans with a phone from Dutch providers, such as KPN, Vodafone, Odido, Ben, Simyo and Lebara. The cheapest come first. The site is free and needs no account.

On the site you'll find:

• Sim Only plans, to filter by price, data, call minutes, contract length, network and provider.
• Plans with a phone, per phone, with what you pay upfront and what you pay a month.
• Providers and networks: for each provider the network it runs on, what it may cost extra and all its plans.
• Plan finder: the three cheapest plans for what you need, each at another provider.
• Price alert: how the lowest price develops, and an email as soon as a plan drops below your price.

We get the plans, prices and offers from the product feeds of Mobiel.nl, which we receive through the affiliate network Awin. Mobiel.nl sells plans from Dutch providers. A product feed is a file with the current offer: for each plan the provider, the price a month, any promotional price and how long it lasts, the data, call minutes and texts, the contract length and, for a plan with a phone, what you pay upfront.

When you click "View offer", you go to that offer at Mobiel.nl. You take out the plan there, not with us.

What we show about providers, such as their network, network score and customer rating and what a price cap or calling abroad costs, isn't in the feed. We keep that up to date ourselves.

• Updated every hour. Every hour we fetch the feeds again automatically. New plans are added, changed prices are updated and what's no longer in the feed disappears from the site.
• Read the same way. We read the prices, data, call minutes and contract lengths of every plan the same way, so you can compare them fairly.
• Only regular plans. Plans for children, add-ons to another plan (such as a family member) and data-only SIM cards are left out: they can't be compared fairly with a regular plan.
• In euros a month. For a plan with a phone, what you pay once upfront for the phone is shown separately, connection fee included.
• Price history. Every day we keep the lowest Sim Only price of every page, such as each network's and each provider's. You'll find it at Price alert.

• The price after the promotion counts. By default we sort and filter by what you pay a month once any promotion is over: that's what you pay for most of your contract. A promotional price for the first months is shown next to it, but only decides the order when you choose to compare by the promotional price.
• Cheapest first. Plans at the same price are ordered by the other price, and after that always in the same order.
• With a phone: what it really costs you. Plans with a phone are sorted by what they cost a month on average over the whole contract, with what you pay upfront and any promotion included. So an offer with a low monthly price but a lot to pay upfront doesn't end up on top unfairly.
• Sort another way. You can also sort by most data or by popularity: how often visitors click "View offer" with us. On a tie, the price decides.
• Filters you choose. You filter by price, data, call minutes, contract length, network and provider. A plan has to match every filter.

Every provider has its own page with all its plans and what you want to know about it:

• Network: which of the three Dutch mobile networks (KPN, Vodafone or Odido) the provider runs on.
• Network score and customer rating: each as a score out of 10.
• Extra costs: what a price cap costs and what calling abroad costs, where known.

At Networks you'll see which providers run on which network.

Abonnement-goedkoop.nl is free. If you take out a plan through a link on our site, we may receive a fee for it. You don't pay anything extra for that. The fee has no influence on the order: we sort by price, or by what you choose, never by what we receive.

• We show the offer from our feeds. So not every plan on the Dutch market is in it.
• We keep everything as accurate and up to date as we can, but a provider can change its price or terms between two updates. Always check the price and terms with the provider before you sign up.
