How we make money
Some switching services and retailers pay a flat fee when a reader switches plan through a link on this site. This page names every one of them, says what they pay, and says which are actually paying us today.

Today, nobody pays us. The site is new, so no program is active yet. When one is, the table above will change and every page that links to that company will say so at the top.
The rules we hold ourselves to
- Payment never changes a calculator result, a table order or a recommendation.
- If your current plan is cheaper, we say stay put, even though that earns us nothing.
- We never claim to compare "all plans" or "the whole market". We link the free government comparators on every comparison page.
- Every rate carries a source link and the date it was checked.
- We never publish referral codes. Several retailers forbid posting them publicly, and a code tied to one person is not independent advice.
Why the fees are flat
Energy switching programs pay a fixed amount per approved switch, not a share of your bill. That matters: we have no incentive to steer you to a dearer plan, because a dearer plan pays us exactly the same as a cheaper one. Where the pay differs between companies, it differs by a few tens of dollars, and that is not allowed to touch the result.
Common questions
Do you compare every electricity plan?
No, and no commercial comparison site does. Switching services only show the retailers that pay them. For a full list of every plan available at your address, use the free government comparator: Energy Made Easy in NSW, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT, or Victorian Energy Compare in Victoria.
Does switching through your link cost me more?
No. A fee is paid by the switching service or retailer, not added to your bill, and the plan price is the same as going direct. If you would rather we earned nothing, go direct to the retailer: our calculator works either way.
Can a payment change what the calculator says?
No. The calculator runs on the rates you enter or the published rates in our retailer register, and it ranks by your annual cost alone. It has no input for who pays us. If your current plan comes out cheaper, it says stay put.
