Let's talk
priced individually

At this scale there's usually more to discuss than meter count alone.

How your band is decided

You don't pick it. When you connect your utility account we count the meters actually on it, and that count determines your band. There is no plan selector to get wrong, and no way to under-declare and be corrected later with a bill you weren't expecting.

You see your band and its price before you enter any payment details — on your dashboard, after the free audit.

If your meter count changes

Portfolios move. Sites open, sites close. We check monthly whether your meter count still matches your band.

We never move you to a more expensive plan automatically. If your meter count outgrows your band, we email you and you decide. A subscription price that rises on its own — even correctly — is not something we're willing to do to a customer.

It works the other way too. If your portfolio shrinks and you're paying for more than you use, the same check catches it, and we'll tell you.

What's included at every paid tier

Bill history Twelve months pulled on subscribing, then every new bill automatically
Fuels Electric and gas both — we don't charge separately or drop one to cut costs
Checks Every audit rule, on every bill. There is no tier that gets fewer checks
Findings What we found, what it's worth, and the basis for it
Commission None, ever — not on supply, not on recoveries, not on referrals

Questions people ask

Do you take a percentage of what you find?

No. Contingency pricing is common in this industry and we've chosen not to use it. Your subscription is our only revenue, which means we have no reason to inflate a finding or push a recovery that isn't worth pursuing.

What if you don't find anything?

Then your bills are clean, which is worth knowing. The free audit exists so you can get a sense of that before paying — and you can cancel any time from your dashboard.

Is there a contract?

Month to month. Cancel from your dashboard and it stops at the end of the period. Bills we've already pulled stay in your account.

Do you sell energy, or take referral fees from suppliers?

No. When we flag supply priced above the utility's price to compare, we report the gap and stop there. Anyone who both finds you that gap and sells you the fix has a conflict we'd rather not have.
