tariffs from comparison sites?

If I go through a comparison site to change my electricity and gas and am recommended a particular tariff from a particular company, will I pay the exact same price for my electricity and gas if I go to that company directly?
Getting forgetful, if you think I've asked this before I probably have. :rotfl:

    It will be the same price per kWh and for discounts etc.

    Often when going through a comparison website, you can get £30 or so for switching.

    P.S.
    To get accurate results from a comparison website you need to enter annual consumption in kWh.

    Generally better to use a comp site to compare and then a cashback site to switch.
    As Cardew says, the tariff is the same regardless. The supplier pays the commission, not you.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
