BeatThatQuote.com was a British price comparison site specialising in personal finance products. The site was disabled in 2013 after being acquired by Google.

History

BeatThatQuote.com was launched by John Paleomylites in February 2005 based in London's Kentish Town., by 2006 it was awarded the 'young company of the year' by the CBI/Real Business Growing Business Awards. and in the financial year 2006 to 2007 the company posted revenues of £7.8 million.
BeatThatQuote.com was ranked by Nielsen Online as the fastest growing UK website in 2007, received around 2.5 million unique visitors per month in June 2008. and was acquired by Google in March 2011 for £37.7 million. BeatThatQuote.com was penalised by Google for search engine spamming the day after it acquired it.
In turn, Google created Google Compare using some of the technology that they had acquired. However, this was not a success and it was close in March 2016.
