Every Texas plan comes with an Electricity Facts Label. Every morning we rebuild each one we can read and verify, price it on your own twelve months, and give you one straight answer: switch now, wait, or sit tight.
We read and verify about 98% of Power to Choose plans automatically (927 of 944 plans on Sep 26, 2026). A few plans can’t be read automatically because of how their provider publishes them; we review those by hand, so they may appear a little later than the rest.
The savings check is free. The plan it finds, with a year of Watch, is $39 plus tax. A free account’s numbers stay current: we re-price its homes every morning. Watch is what members get for 12 months: the plan to pick, by name, and a switch alert when a switch saves at least $60 a year after fees, the fee-free window reminder and a monthly check-up.
Fixed 12 saves $1,127 a year.4
The $175 fee to leave Fixed 60 is paid back in about 2 months.
Next check tomorrow morning. You only hear from us when it’s worth it.

Setup is a year of usage and your plan’s facts label. After that, the plans we verify in your area are re-priced on your months every morning, with a free or paid account.

Switch now, wait, or sit tight. The free check shows how much you’d save, with your costs and the best plan’s cost on your usage; Your plan + a year of Watch names the plan and shows the math. You enroll on the provider’s own site; we never switch you.
Switch to Fixed 12. Save $1,127 a year.4
Even after the $175 cancellation fee you keep $723 before your contract would have ended.
We take no commission from Provider A. You enroll on their site.
A cheaper plan exists, but the fee eats the savings. We give you the date to switch free.
None of the plans we compared beats your plan by enough to be worth a switch. Keep it: that verdict is free.
Plans are written to win one comparison: 1,000 kWh, one month, no fees. Here is the comparison we run instead, on one real house.
A plan with a $120 credit between 1,000 and 2,000 kWh lists at 9.5¢ on Power to Choose. The founder’s house in McKinney1 used more than 2,000 kWh in 6 of its 12 months and paid full price in every one of them. Over its year, that plan averages 18.9¢: $5,191 against $3,107 on a flat 11.3¢ plan.

The switch-or-wait test
Fixed 60, ends Jun 16, 2027
Clears the bar by $548, so the answer is switch now. Below the bar we’d say wait and, with Watch, email you on Jun 2, when the fee drops off.
A cheaper plan isn’t a reason to pay $175 to leave. We count what you’d save before your contract ends, and only say switch when it clears the bar.
Mid-contract. Switch only when what you’d save before your end date beats the fee twice over. Otherwise, wait.
Your last 14 days. Texas drops the cancellation fee, so a cheaper plan only has to beat your rate, not a fee. We show what it would save; a small saving may not be worth the move.
Contract ended. You’re likely on a month-to-month holdover rate, with no fee to leave. We email when a switch would save at least $60 a year.
Contract-end reminders are free: before your contract ends, and after it if you’re left on a holdover rate. With Watch, a switch alert when a switch saves at least $60 a year after fees, one when your fee-free window opens, and a short monthly check-up you can turn off in one click. That’s the whole list.

Public data, your meter, and nothing from electricity providers.
The PUCT’s official plan listing. We read the whole catalog every morning, in every service area, and verify each plan we can against its facts label.
Each plan’s one-page label. We rebuild its pricing and check it reproduces the label’s own 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh prices to within 0.15¢. If it doesn’t, the plan is set aside.

Power to Choose’s rating for each provider. A poorly rated provider’s plans are flagged, and we won’t pick one when a better-rated plan is within 3%.
No commissions, no paid placement, no referral fees. The ranking is only the math.
Bring a year of usage and your plan’s facts label, and see what you’re overpaying. The savings check is free. The plan it finds, with a year of Watch, is $39 plus tax.
