About Kelkoo

Kelkoo is one of Europe’s leading shopping comparison websites. We list over 12 million products and work with more than 10,000 retailers. We sift through the numerous possibilities to find what’s exactly right for our customers. We bring the best of the high street: the names, the choice, the bargains and we combine this with the convenience of the internet: instant results, customer reviews, like-for-like comparisons. We work with thousands of trusted brands like Apple, Sony and Nike, shops like John Lewis, Argos and Tesco, and sites like Amazon, ebookers and Play.com to bring the best deals to our users.

Kelkoo was created in 2000 following the merger between Zoomit, Dondecomprar and Shopgenie. The name “Kelkoo” is a phonetic spelling based on the French phrases “Quel coût?" which means "At what price?" and "Quel coup" meaning "What a bargain". The brand was bought by Yahoo! in 2004 and then sold in October 2008, to Jamplant, a UK private equity firm who have been running Kelkoo ever since.

Today we operate in 12 countries worldwide including most parts of Europe (UK, Denmark, Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden), the USA and Brazil. We have 2 global brands: Kelkoo shopping and Kelkoo travel. Every month we reach over 32 million unique users worldwide through our portfolio of brands. In Europe we reach more than 10 million unique users and work with 23 of the top 25 retailers.
