FuelCompare.ie Has Closed. To Its Users: Welcome to FuelWatch.

FuelCompare.ie, the Irish fuel price comparison website and app, has closed. The team announced the closure in June 2026, and as of early July 2026 the website is offline and the FuelCompare apps have been removed from the Apple App Store and Google Play. To everyone who relied on it, two things need saying — thank you to the people who built it, and you are very welcome at FuelWatch, Ireland’s free live fuel price map.

What happened to FuelCompare.ie?

FuelCompare let drivers compare fuel prices in Ireland through its website and its iOS and Android apps. In June 2026, the team announced that the service would close at the end of the month, saying plainly that they could no longer sustain it.

The shutdown is now complete. As of 6 July 2026, the fuelcompare.ie website no longer responds, the FuelCompare listing has been removed from the iOS App Store, and the Android listing has been removed from Google Play. If you have been searching for “what happened to FuelCompare” or waiting for the app to come back online, this is the answer: the team announced the closure themselves, and the service is fully offline.

A word of thanks

Fuel price transparency in Ireland is a genuinely hard problem, and the FuelCompare team took it on. They built and maintained a website and apps that helped drivers across the country make better-informed choices at the pump. That work deserves plain recognition: thank you.

Keeping a service like that accurate and running is a real, sustained effort, and saying honestly that it can no longer be sustained is a dignified way to close a chapter. We wish everyone who worked on FuelCompare the very best in whatever comes next.

To FuelCompare users: welcome

If you opened FuelCompare before a fill-up, you already know the habit: check the map, find the cheapest petrol and diesel near you, and drive a few minutes further to save. Losing a tool you relied on is annoying, and we will not pretend otherwise. But everything you used FuelCompare for, you can do on FuelWatch today — a free fuel price app for Ireland, with no ads.

FuelWatch is a live fuel map of Ireland covering 1,500+ stations across all 32 counties, in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. You can compare fuel prices in Ireland the way you did before: open the map, see live petrol and diesel prices around you, and pick the cheapest forecourt. The saving is real — the gap between the cheapest and dearest forecourt in the same area is often 10–15 cent per litre, which works out at roughly €5 to €7.50 on a single 50-litre fill and hundreds of euro a year for a regular commuter.

Everything you did on FuelCompare, mapped to FuelWatch

Here is where each habit lives now, plus what FuelWatch adds on top.

That last row matters: FuelWatch is a fuel finder for the whole household, not just the car. The same app that shows you the cheapest diesel in Ireland today also maps home heating oil depots, green diesel suppliers for farms and marinas, and EV charging points across the island.
