How every estimate is built
Advertised rates assume a specific usage level. We calculate your estimated bill from each plan's Electricity Facts Label, including TDU delivery charges, base fees, minimum-usage fees, and applicable bill credits.
Energy charge+TDU delivery+Base fee+Minimum-usage fee−Bill credits=Your estimated monthly bill
The same calculation. Every plan.

Good questions
Common questions
Before you start comparing.
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; TrueBill Energy does not enroll customers.
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 estimate your cost at your usage, including applicable 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.
