Idealo

We’ve all been in the frustrating scenario where you’ve bought something online or in-store and with some research you realise you could’ve gotten it cheaper elsewhere. – this is where Idealo steps in. This price comparison app lets you compare prices on pretty much everything, from flights to the latest tech!

HyperJar

HyperJar is the ultimate app to practice putting money aside. The app allows you to set up mini accounts called ‘Jars’ which you can use to store money for different saving goals such as holidays and bills. You can also load money onto a pre-paid MasterCard which comes with your account, and spend directly from any of your jars. 

The most unique selling point of HyperJar is that you can create jars dedicated to spending at certain retailers for example Tui and Not on the High Street. Money in these jars earns 4.8% interest a year and can only be used at the specified retailer! HyperJar is available to download on the App Store and Google Play here!
