From your bill to the plan that costs you least

Upload a bill PDF, a photo of one, or a screenshot of the usage chart in your utility’s app. We pull out how many kWh your home used in each of the last 12 months.

• Numbers printed on the bill are copied exactly.
• Months shown only as bars are measured against the printed ones and marked ≈, for you to check.
• You can fix any month, or type all 12 yourself. Your file is read, then deleted.

Every plan’s Electricity Facts Label spells out how it charges: an energy rate, sometimes a monthly base charge, sometimes a credit or a fee that depends on how much you use. We apply those rules to each of your months and add your utility’s delivery charge (Oncor, for this Carrollton home), which is the same on every plan.

That’s why an advertised price can mislead. This plan advertises 6.9¢, but in a 430 kWh month it misses its $125 credit and costs 19.9¢ per kWh. In a 1,900 kWh month it earns the credit and costs 12.6¢.

Add up the 12 bills and you have what a plan would cost your home for a year. We do that for every plan we track and sort by the total, cheapest first.

• The advertised price plays no part in the order.
• Neither does money: no provider pays us.
• Open any plan on your results to see all 12 of its bills, line by line.

On this home, the plan with the lowest advertised price comes #148 of 483.

When a contract ends matters almost as much as its price. A contract that ends between June and September puts you back in the market when prices peak, so we flag it.

• Still under contract? We compare switching now, cancellation fee included, with waiting until it ends.
• We can email you 45 days before your contract ends, so you never roll onto a pricier month-to-month rate.
