Why WattPal
Start with your household’s usage, then see the assumptions and conditions behind the estimate.
Seasonal changes and time-of-use patterns matter. A single benchmark rate cannot tell the whole story.
See the bill credits, recurring fees, and time windows that can affect your costs.
A one-time fee supports the comparison, with no provider commissions influencing the ranking.
Why not just use Power to Choose?
Power to Choose lists rates based on static 500, 1,000, and 2,000 kWh snapshots. Many plans are engineered to look dirt cheap at exactly 1,000 kWh using artificial bill credits — but spike dramatically if you use 1,100 kWh. WattPal simulates your full year of 15-minute readings across every plan's entire rate formula.
Free plan education
Try the Plan Trap Simulator to spot bill-credit cliffs, base charges, and TOU tradeoffs in current plan examples.

Log in to smartmetertexas.com (or register your meter using your ESIID from your electric bill). Go to View Usage, select Energy Data 15 Min Interval, set the start date to 1 year ago, and click Export My Report. It is 100% free and takes under 2 minutes.
Power to Choose only compares static 500, 1,000, and 2,000 kWh snapshots. Deceptive plans exploit this by creating artificial $100 bill credits that make a plan look like 7¢/kWh at exactly 1,000 kWh, but jump to 18¢/kWh in mild months when your usage drops to 850 kWh. Furthermore, Power to Choose cannot calculate free nights or weekend savings against your actual schedule.

No. Traditional broker sites earn $50–$150 commissions every time you switch, creating strong financial incentives to steer you toward high-commission plans. WattPal is 100% consumer-funded ($9.99), guaranteeing our ranking is pure unbiased mathematics.
