886 plans analyzed across all 5 Texas TDU territories

Your Actual Usage, Not Benchmarks

PowerToChoose shows rates at 500, 1,000, 2,000 kWh. We calculate your real cost from 12 months of Smart Meter data — capturing seasonal swings, time-of-use patterns, and all the fees buried in the fine print.

100% Independent

No commissions from providers. No affiliate links. No paid placements. We work for you, not them.

Daily Market Monitoring

We check every plan, every day, against your actual usage. When the market shifts or new plans launch, you know first.

Smart Switching Alerts

We don't just find cheaper plans — we calculate whether the savings justify switching, including cancellation fees and remaining contract time. Like refinancing a mortgage: we show you the math.

You Stay in Control

No Power of Attorney. No auto-switching. We rank every plan for your usage with full rationale — you pick the one that fits and enroll directly with the provider.

Contract Renewal Protection

We never let you forget to renew and roll onto a high cost holdover rate. Starting 13 days before your contract ends, we send persistent reminders with our top recommendation, so you always switch on time.

How We Compare

Half the price of concierge switching services. Full transparency. You stay in control.

* Concierge services require you to grant Power of Attorney so they can switch plans on your behalf.
** Switching sites are free to you because they earn commissions from providers, which can bias their recommendations.
