About Kosten.org
We make costs transparent. From current accounts to streaming subscriptions: Kosten.org helps you find the genuinely best and cheapest offers – independent, data-driven and honest.
Our mission
Most people pay too much – for their bank account, their insurance, their electricity or their next subscription. Not out of carelessness, but because comparisons are often confusing, promotional or simply out of date.
Kosten.org was founded to change exactly that. We bring prices, fees and features together in one place, rate them against traceable criteria and explain clearly what really matters. Our goal: you make a good decision in a few minutes – and save real money.
What we stand for
Independent
Our rankings are based on objective criteria – not on who pays the most. Commissions do not change a rating.
Data-driven
We analyse terms, fees and independent tests (Stiftung Warentest, Finanztip & co.) instead of repeating marketing promises.
Transparent
We mark affiliate links with an asterisk (*). So you always know how we are funded – no hidden agenda.
Up to date
Prices and offers change constantly. We review our comparisons regularly and keep the data current.
How we compare
For every comparison, we first define the criteria that matter most to users – such as costs, features, flexibility and service. We then gather the providers' current terms, cross-check them against independent sources and put them into context. We do not test products ourselves; we rate providers objectively based on published terms and service specifications.
You can find out more about our approach in our rating methodology.
How we are funded
Kosten.org is free for you. We are funded by affiliate commissions: if you take out a product via one of our links, we may receive a fee from the provider. This costs you nothing extra.
Important: these commissions do not influence our ratings. We transparently mark affiliate links with an asterisk (*). Our ranking depends solely on the terms – not on the size of the fee.
