A guide to the Simples fuel app
Updated 5 December 2025What is the Simples app?
Simples is Compare the Market’s fuel app that helps motorists compare fuel prices. Available through Google Play™ and the App Store®, you can find petrol and gas prices in your area or various locations around Australia. Our app also offers you more than just fuel price comparisons. You can use Simples to get a quote for an array of insurance products we offer, and we’ll be on hand to guide you through our comparison services. See the Terms and Conditions.
How does Simples let me compare fuel prices near me?
There are a few ways to find a petrol station nearby, no matter where you are in Australia. You can type in your suburb or postcode, or do a manual search using the app’s fuel map. From here, Simples will display service stations in your suburb or search vicinity, along with the types of fuel available and fuel prices, so you can choose the cheapest fuel in your area and get moving again.
If you’re already on the road and need to find a service station quickly, Simples allows you to enter your destination to display fuel prices along your route from within the app. You can even add favourites for quick access to your regular routes.

Please note that participating service stations can vary based on your specific location when you use the fuel price app in Australia.
*In Victoria, there is no requirement for fuel stations to report their pricing data. This impacts the accuracy of the information we can provide you through our app. Pricing information in Victoria is a guide only, so you may notice discrepancies.
Does Simples compare petrol prices from every service station in Australia?
Simples can only compare petrol prices from individual service stations that have elected to participate or whose prices are reported to fuel watch agencies. The stations displayed and the type of fuel listed may not include every single option that might be available in your local area.
Still, you’ll easily be able to see the options from participating stations on one screen and decide which is best for you.
How regularly are fuel prices updated in the app?
The fuel prices in the Simples app are provided by The Pricing Project and are continually updated based on information provided to the Pricing Project by retailers and customers. The accuracy and currency of pricing information vary between locations. It’s always recommended to confirm the price with fuel retailers in your area before filling up.
In regional areas, where regular price updates for individual participating service stations aren’t available when you use the fuel app in Australia, an average fuel price from the previous day or week may be used.
Does Compare the Market get paid if I purchase fuel after using the app?
No, we don’t receive a fee or commission if you use our app to help secure cheaper fuel purchases. It’s entirely up to you where you choose to fill up – we’re just here to make the process as easy as possible thanks to Compare the Market’s fuel finder app.
