🛠️ Frequently Asked Questions — Price Me UpHelping you shop smarter for building materials
đź’¬ General Questions
What is Price Me Up?
Price Me Up is the UK's first dedicated price comparison platform for the building and construction industry. Our app allows you to search and compare prices for construction materials—from major retailers and independent sellers—all in one place.
Who is Price Me Up for?
Anyone involved in construction or DIY:
- Professional tradespeople
- Contractors & builders
- Renovators & property developers
- DIY enthusiasts
Is Price Me Up free to use?
Yes, the app is completely free for buyers to use. There’s no sign-up cost, no subscription—just smart, transparent pricing.
🛍️ For Buyers
How does the price comparison work?
You simply search for the product you need—e.g., plasterboard, cement, screws—and we’ll show you a real-time comparison of prices across major UK retailers and local suppliers.
Can I build a shopping basket?
Yes! Add items to your basket, and we’ll show you:
- The overall cheapest price, and
- The lowest price across the fewest number of sellers (for easier ordering).
What if different sellers list slightly different products?
Our platform standardises product data—so you can easily compare like-for-like items, specs, units, and brand differences, even if sellers use different descriptions.
Can I buy directly on the app?
Not yet. Currently, the app redirects you to the seller’s website to complete the purchase. Future versions will include in-app checkout and express delivery options.
🧑‍🔧 For Sellers & Merchants
Who can list products on Price Me Up?
Both large retailers (like Screwfix or B&Q) and independent or family-run suppliers can join and list their products on the platform.
How do I list my products?
Reach out to us at info@pricemeup.com and one of our team will walk you through the onboarding process
Do I have to pay to list products?
No. Listing your products is free. We only charge a small Cost Per Action (CPA) fee when a customer completes a purchase through a link from Price Me Up.
Can I control my prices and listings?
Yes. You retain full control of your pricing and product information. You can also update stock, run promotions, or remove listings at any time.
How will I benefit from being on PMU?
You’ll gain exposure to a new audience actively searching for what you sell—without the high cost of digital ads. You can also benchmark your pricing against competitors in real-time.
🔍 App Features & Technology
How is this different from just checking prices myself?
PMU aggregates and standardises prices across retailers—automatically. That means:
- Less time wasted jumping between sites
- Instant price comparisons
- Easier decision-making with side-by-side specs and prices
How accurate is your data?
We regularly update prices using real-time data feeds and seller submissions. While we aim for 100% accuracy, we always recommend double-checking prices at the final checkout stage.
Can I trust the sellers listed?
Yes—sellers are verified during onboarding. We only list genuine UK-based retailers and merchants.
Is my data safe with Price Me Up?
Yes. We follow GDPR regulations and never share your personal data without consent.

We're working on exciting upgrades:
