This is what Your plan + a year of Watch shows ($39/year plus tax): the plan’s name, the link to switch, every plan we compared ranked and the math. Here the providers and plans are anonymized and the links taken out. The free savings check shows how much you’d save, with your costs and the best plan’s cost on your usage, without naming or describing the plan.
Estimated from the past 12 months of usage, compared with the current plan. Before the $160 cancellation fee and our price ($39 plus tax). Actual savings vary with your usage and what your current plan costs; sometimes the right answer is to wait or stay put.
Month by month
What each plan costs at this house’s usage, Oct 2026 – Sep 2027

Then a month-to-month rate until you switch

Switching now would come out about $132 ahead by Jun 8, after the fee. That’s under twice the fee, too thin for estimates that can miss, so we say wait for the fee-free window.
