Texas · free · no signup
Every comparison list in Texas, including the state's own, ranks plans by what they would cost a home that uses exactly 1,000 kWh a month. Almost no house uses exactly that, and plans are built to look cheap at precisely that number. Give us your ZIP and one bill, and we will price every plan against your house instead.
Free. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to leave behind, and we take nothing from any electricity company.
The 1,000 kWh problem
Power to Choose and every site copying it sort by what a plan costs at exactly 1,000 kWh a month. Here is what a Houston house that averages 1,000 actually does.
Start to finish
Your ZIP, the kWh, the month and what you paid. All four are on the front of any Texas electricity bill.
The whole state catalog, rebuilt nightly from the Commission's own feed and run across your twelve months rather than one benchmark number.
Month by month, what each plan charges, what it costs to leave, and exactly what we had to assume to get there.
Send your meter's real 15-minute data and we price the time-of-use plans nobody else can. $39, once →
Texas comparison sites, the state's Power to Choose included, sort plans by their average price at 1,000 kWh a month. That single number decides who appears at the top of the list, so plans are designed to win it: a bill credit that only pays out once you cross 1,000, or a rate that quietly steps up above it. Use a little less than 1,000 and the credit never arrives. Use more, and the higher rate does.
A Texas house rarely sits at 1,000. It swings with the season, often by more than double between February and August. So the plan that tops the list is frequently not the cheapest plan for the house standing in front of it. We price every plan across your whole year instead, which is the only way the ranking survives contact with a real bill.
The Public Utility Commission publishes every offer in the state through its own Power to Choose feed. We rebuild the whole catalog from it each night and work out what each plan would actually charge your house, including the delivery charge your utility adds, before taxes. Nothing here is a price we invented or a price a retailer paid us to show you.
Plans that give you free nights or free weekends are left out. Pricing one honestly needs your meter read in 15-minute intervals, and a single monthly total cannot tell us when you used the power. We would rather show you nothing than a confident wrong answer, so those plans are named and set aside rather than ranked.
If your usage really is concentrated at night, one of them may beat everything we can show you. The full analysis reads your actual meter data and ranks them properly.
Because the recognizable names advertise, and advertising is paid for out of the rate. The electricity is identical whoever sells it: same wires, same meter, and the same utility crew restores your power in a storm. Every retailer in Texas has a page here, with its complaint record at the Commission and what it charges.
Nothing, on the free tool. We take no commission, no referral fee and no kickback from any electricity company, and we never will, because the moment we did you could no longer trust the order of the list. There is a paid analysis at $39, once, and you are the one paying for it. That is the whole business model.
The sign-up links are the ones the state publishes, passed through untouched, so they credit Power to Choose rather than us. We leave them alone deliberately: for several retailers that tracking tag is also what selects this plan at this price, so a "cleaned" link would quietly land you on a different, usually worse, offer.
