To begin, I would like to clarify that this is not a sponsored article. It is simply a useful tip that many newcomers to Switzerland are not aware of. Toppreise has been around for many years and is one of the most reliable tools to compare prices for a wide range of products, from electronics to household items. The website is also available in English and offers an app.

If you want to understand whether a price is good, follow a product over time or set up an alert for price drops, Toppreise can help you make informed purchases and avoid overpaying.

What Toppreise is and how it works

Toppreise is a Swiss price comparison website that gathers offers from various online shops. It works by showing current prices across sellers, helping you identify the best available deal at any moment. The platform focuses on transparency, showing the base price and delivery costs so you can clearly see the total amount before ordering.

It also includes tools that help you understand whether the current price is high or low compared to its past evolution. You can also use it to find the shops that sell the item and then check directly on their websites if in-store pickup is available.

Why Toppreise is useful

See all available offers for a product in one place.
Check seller ratings to avoid unreliable shops.
See delivery times and shipping costs before ordering.
Follow trends to understand when a product usually becomes cheaper.
Reduce impulse purchases by looking at price history.
Save money on items that frequently fluctuate in price.
You can activate price alerts.

The most helpful Toppreise features

Price history graph

Each product includes a graph showing how its price has evolved over time. This helps you understand whether the current price is higher or lower than usual. It also gives you a sense of seasonality and helps you decide if it is better to wait for a potential drop.

Price alerts

You can activate price alerts for any product. When the price reaches the level you have chosen, you receive an email notification. This is useful when you are not in a hurry and want to avoid checking manually every day.

Filters

You can refine your search using filters such as condition, availability or preferred sellers. These filters help you narrow down the options and focus on what matches your needs.

Shop ratings

Toppreise displays ratings and reviews for each shop (the ratings refer to the shops, not to the products). This can help you avoid vendors with unreliable service, slow shipping or unclear return policies.

How to use Toppreise effectively

Search for the exact product number or model.
Compare total prices including delivery.
Check whether the seller offers a Swiss warranty.
Look at the price history to understand trends.
Set up an alert if you are not in a rush to buy.
Check pickup availability if you want to see or collect the item in person.

A few practical examples

Toppreise works well for items that often vary in price, such as electronics, home appliances or computer accessories. It is also ideal when comparing models that are available across multiple online shops, as price differences can sometimes be significant.

Keeping an eye on the historical trend can help you determine if you are buying during a peak period. Good to know: this is also possible on Digitec/Galaxus by clicking on the price. For some items, waiting even a short period can lead to significant savings.
