Texas electricity plans, ranked by your estimated bill
See what each plan actually costs at your usage.
Advertised rates assume someone else's usage. We estimate your monthly bill for every plan, with EFL rates, TDU delivery charges, base fees, and bill credits included, then rank plans by that number.
Independent tool. We don't sell electricity or enroll customers. Covers Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP Texas, and TNMP areas, including Dallas and Houston.
How it works
The same math runs on every plan we track, using the rates published in each plan's Electricity Facts Label.

Why TrueBill
Texas plans can look cheap at one usage level and expensive at another. A bill credit that kicks in at 1,000 kWh, a minimum usage fee, or a tiered rate can swing your bill by $30 or more a month. TrueBill Energy estimates the cost at your usage from each plan's official Electricity Facts Label, whether the plan is fixed or variable.

Common questions
Is this a subscription?
No. TrueBill Energy is a free comparison tool. There is no account, subscription, or fee.
Do you switch me automatically?
No. We only show comparisons. If you switch plans, you enroll directly with the provider you choose.
Why are Texas electricity plans so confusing?
Bill credits, tiered rates, and minimum usage fees can change the real rate dramatically at different kWh levels. See how bill credit plans work
Why does my "real rate" differ from the advertised rate?
Advertised rates assume a specific usage level. We calculate your actual cost using your usage, including credits, tiers, and fees. See how TrueBill calculates estimated monthly cost →
How do you make money?
TrueBill Energy is currently a free tool. TrueBill Energy does not currently receive compensation from retail electric providers. Plan rankings are based on estimated cost at your usage — never on compensation, sponsored placement, or provider relationships.
Do you sell my data?
No. We don't sell your personal or usage data.
