Questions, answered

What this comparison can and cannot tell you.

Is the cheapest result guaranteed to save me money?

No. The main estimate uses the household details you provide. For a comparison based on your own recent usage, upload up to 31 days of half-hourly readings using the private usage tool.

How are fixed and standard tariffs handled?

A standard flat-rate tariff is shown separately as a useful reference, while the smart tariffs remain ranked together.

Does the site sell or recommend a tariff?

No. It presents independent evidence and links to the supplier for current eligibility, terms and an actual quote. There are no affiliate rankings.

Why might the order differ from a supplier quote?

The ranking uses one regional comparison window and your selected usage shape. A supplier quote may use different dates, payment terms, discounts or personal consumption details.
