At NZ Compare we are passionate about empowering Kiwi’s to make fully informed choices - regardless of if you are a residential or business consumer. Take a sneak peek at the insights from our regular screening panel at Opinion Compare.
At NZ Compare we are passionate about fully informed choices. Whether that’s a fully informed choice for consumers looking for a better deal on broadband and power, or helping businesses make a fully informed choice, we know it’s hard when you have so much paperwork to contend with. As such, we are super interested in what Kiwis think, especially when it comes to their perspectives, switching behaviours and opinions.
We’d like to introduce Opinion Compare, the research arm of NZ Compare. Opinion Compare offers an independent and affordable way to deliver Kiwi opinions to NZ business decision makers. Through our research panel of New Zealanders, we can provide a range of insights. We’re passionate about creating a world where consumer opinions help shape and deliver better products and services for everyone.
