Kilowise
KilowiseRank Texas electricity plans by your actual month-by-month usage, not marketing-tier pricing.
Every Texas electricity plan discloses an "average price per kWh" at three usage tiers: 500, 1,000, and 2,000 kWh a month. Those numbers are real, but they're not always the number you'll actually pay. Real households don't use a flat amount of electricity every month. Texas summers push usage well past 2,000 kWh for a lot of homes, while a mild spring month might land closer to 500. A plan that looks cheap at the tier PowerToChoose happens to publish can cost meaningfully more once real seasonal usage is run through it.
Some plans go further: a "bill credit" that only applies once you cross a usage threshold (say, $50 off if you use 1,000 kWh or more) can mean using less electricity than the threshold actually costs you more than using slightly more would have. That's a real, disclosed feature of some plans, not a scam, but it's easy to miss reading an EFL (Electricity Facts Label) cold, and easy for a plan's advertised tier pricing to look better than its real behavior at a threshold most people will cross without noticing.
Kilowise exists to compute the number that actually matters: what a plan would really cost you, given your own month-by-month usage, not a marketing tier. It pulls the same public data Texas's official comparison site (PowerToChoose) publishes, adds a real month-by-month cost simulation, and, where a plan's own Electricity Facts Label can be read closely enough to find one, flags real usage-threshold credit cliffs directly, in dollars, on the specific plans that have them.
Enter your zip code and your monthly usage in kWh, either typed in month by month or filled in from a quick average estimate, and Kilowise ranks every plan available in your area by real computed annual cost, not advertised tier pricing. Already have a renewal or loyalty offer from your current provider that never showed up on the public comparison site? You can enter its numbers directly and see how it stacks up against the market, without creating an account or uploading anything.
Kilowise reads the same public disclosures every plan is legally required to publish. It doesn't independently verify pricing with each provider, and it isn't affiliated with the Public Utility Commission of Texas, PowerToChoose, or any electricity provider. A missing cliff-warning badge on a plan means kilowise hasn't found one written into that plan's own disclosure the way it currently reads it, not a guarantee the plan has no cliff at all. Always check a plan's actual Electricity Facts Label before enrolling, especially for anything with real consequences like an early termination fee.
Texas only, for now. Texas has a mature deregulated electricity market with one official public comparison source, which is what makes an independent, real-usage-based comparison tool practical to build well.
