Description
If you've ever wondered whether petrol is actually cheaper in Poland than in France, or how minimum wage compares across the EU right now rather than in some outdated news article, Prices in Europe is a single page built to answer exactly that — a daily-updated comparison of everyday costs across all 27 EU member states, sourced from official national data rather than user-submitted estimates.
It covers fuel prices (petrol 95 and diesel), day-ahead electricity market prices, currency exchange rates (EUR/USD plus 14 others), housing costs (property price inflation, mortgage/rental rates), grocery inflation, minimum wage by country, and even a Big Mac Index view for a quick purchasing-power comparison. There's no account, no API, and no interface beyond English — it's a focused, free reference dashboard rather than a research platform.
💬 Our review
The short version: Prices in Europe is a genuinely useful quick-reference dashboard for anyone comparing costs across EU countries, and its main strength — daily updates from official sources — is also exactly what a crowd-sourced tool like Numbeo can't promise as reliably.
Compared to Numbeo, which relies on user-submitted cost-of-living data and covers the whole world with more categories (restaurants, rent by city, etc.), Prices in Europe is narrower (EU-only, macro indicators, no city-level detail) but more trustworthy on the specific numbers it does show, since they trace back to official national statistics rather than self-reported entries. Against Eurostat itself, this is far easier to actually read at a glance, trading Eurostat's exhaustive detail for a same-day, plain-page comparison. Worth it if you want a fast, credible snapshot of EU-wide fuel, electricity, or wage differences without digging through Eurostat's tables; skip it if you need city-level cost-of-living detail (rent, restaurants) or coverage outside the EU, where Numbeo is the better fit.
