The cheapest-looking plan is usually the one that gets you.

We price the fine print.

Peak-hour prices, bill-credit cliffs and delivery fees hide inside the “12.9¢” every comparison site shows you. Kilowhiz pulls two years of your home's real 15-minute readings straight from Smart Meter Texas and prices every plan sold at your address against it — so the winner is the plan that's cheapest for your house, not for the ad.

  1. Every comparison site shows you one number.
  2. The advertised rate. It is not what you pay. Peak hours, missed credits and delivery fees hide behind it, and they add up fast.
  3. Kilowhiz pulls two years of your home's real usage, every fifteen minutes, straight from Smart Meter Texas, in moments. No stack of bills, no guessing. One bill, and no password.
  4. Then we run every plan sold at your address through those hours. Flat rates, free nights, time-of-use plans, all of it. That is where savings hide in plain sight.
  5. Not the cheapest-looking plan. The cheapest plan for your house, and a straight answer: switch, stay, or wait, exit fee already counted.
  6. The answer is free. When there is a real saving, five dollars unlocks the plan behind it. Some plans open free: their provider pays us, and that never moves their rank.
  7. Found a better plan? We guide you through the switch step by step, or fill it in for you.
  8. And we keep watching. We check your first bill against our math. And if a cheaper plan shows up, even mid-contract, cancellation fee included, you'll know.
  9. Kilowhiz. Show us one bill. We price the fine print.

Why not a comparison site

the plans Power to Choose shows at your address

its free-nights and time-of-use plans, where the savings hide

Counted from the day's listings: 2,012 plans priced across Texas to Power to Choose's 921, and 332 time-of-use plans to its 52, 2026-09-23.

Your home, your usage, your recommendation. That's the whole thing.

Ten minutes of yours, with your latest bill and your phone. Then the data arrives on its own.

Your home

Your address, then one recent bill: upload it, snap it, or let us find it in your inbox. We read the meter number and contract dates off it and show you what we found. Sign-in is a six-digit code, no password.

Your usage

Smart Meter Texas — the state's meter system, not us — emails you once. Tap Approve. Two years of 15-minute readings arrive on their own, read-only, and you can revoke it any time.

Your recommendation

Switch, stay or wait: every plan sold at your address priced on your real readings, the math on every number, your own bill reconstructed so you can check us, and the one thing to do next.

One kilowatt-hour. A very different bill.

A bill credit is sold as a discount. It is a bet on your usage, and the plan writes the odds. Watch a year of real months cross the line.

A $75 credit at 1,000 kWh eats itself

Twelve months of a typical Gulf Coast home against that credit line. Watch which months earn it — and which pay full price.

Twelve monthly totals against a 1,000 kWh credit line. 6 of 12 months fall below it and earn no credit: Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Oct, Nov. That is $450 in credits never paid.

An example: a typical home's year against the credit rule these plans sell today. Your assessment runs your own meter data through every plan's real rule — never this example.

Four ways a plan looks cheap and isn't.

We price your real hours through each one before it ever reaches your assessment.

Free nights, expensive days

“Free” overnight hours usually come with a day rate that eats the gift. The plan only wins if your home really runs at night.

We check your actual overnight share first.

The advertised-price trick

Every plan quotes exactly 1,000 kWh — a number almost no home uses in any given month.

The gimmicks live in the gap.

The bill-credit cliff

You just watched it: we count a credit only in the months your home actually crosses the line.

The cliff isn't a flaw in the plan. The cliff IS the plan.

The holdover trap

Contracts quietly roll to a month-to-month rate when they end. We track your end date and the window where switching is free.

Doing nothing is the most expensive plan in Texas.

Your home changes. Your plan should keep up.

The assessment answers today's question. Whiz+ keeps answering it: it watches your contract and the market, shows you where your electricity goes, and prices the what-ifs before you make them.

  • A heads-up before your contract rolls to a month-to-month rate, and a fresh assessment when the market moves.
  • Your day, your seasonal peaks and your billing patterns, hour by hour.
  • “We're adding a pool. Does our plan still make sense?” Ask, and get the number, with your original assessment kept separate.
  • Your first bill on the new plan checked against our math.

Your assessment is free. Ongoing help is your choice.

No card and no subscription to see your answer. Whiz+ and Whiz Pro add the year ahead.

A few things worth knowing.

The questions everyone asks before they start.

Do I have to pay to switch?

No. The assessment, the alternatives, the plan details and the hand-off to the provider's site are free. Whiz+ and Whiz Pro add ongoing monitoring, the detailed usage dashboard and chat.

How do you make money?

Kilowhiz is free during beta and receives no payment from any electricity provider. When a provider pays a referral fee for an enrollment through Kilowhiz, the fee prints on that plan, and rankings never consider it. Whiz+ and Whiz Pro are the only things we sell you. The whole policy.

Do you need my utility password?

No. You approve read-only access to your usage through Smart Meter Texas, in an email it sends you. That approval does not let anyone switch your provider, and you can revoke it any time.

How long does it take?

About ten minutes of yours: your address, one recent bill, one tap on the Smart Meter Texas email. Then the meter data arrives on its own, usually within the hour, and your assessment is waiting when you come back.

What if I should stay on my current plan?

Then that is the assessment, free, with the numbers that show it. A good answer is sometimes "do nothing".

Can I check the math?

Every figure has a receipt: the rate, the delivery charges, the credits your months did or did not earn, and your own last bill reconstructed. The method is public on the methodology page.

How we make money, upfront: Kilowhiz is free during beta and receives no payment from any electricity provider. When a provider does pay a referral fee for an enrollment through Kilowhiz, the fee prints on that plan, and rankings never consider it. Whiz+ and Whiz Pro are the only things we sell you.
