Your Real Rate — Support

Each plan's charges come from its Electricity Facts Label, the price sheet every Texas provider must publish: the energy charge, any base charge, bill credits and minimum-usage fees. The app adds your utility's current delivery charges, then prices each of your twelve months and adds them up. Taxes are not included.

Before a plan is ranked, the app checks that its label reproduces the prices the provider advertises on Power to Choose, the state's official comparison site. If it doesn't — the label leaves out a number, or its wording isn't clear — the plan is listed separately with its advertised price instead of a guess.

They're hidden by default. When a short plan ends, you move to the provider's renewal rate, which is usually higher, so its yearly cost here would only hold if that rate stayed the same. To see them, tap Filters and choose Any length.

Some plans give a credit only when you use at least a certain amount, often exactly 1,000 kWh. They look cheap at that amount and cost far more in months you use less. The app warns about these and colors the months where your usage would miss the credit.

Enter your own monthly usage from your bills (Settings, then Usage). Each bill shows the kWh you used. Fill in any months you have; the rest are estimated from how Texas homes use power through the year.

Parts of Texas are served by a city utility or a co-op that sets the rate itself — Austin, San Antonio and El Paso, for example. Those areas have no plans to compare.

Add your current plan and its end date, and the app reminds you 60, 30 and 14 days before it ends. From 14 days before the end date, Texas rules let you switch without a cancellation fee.

No. Sign up opens the provider's own enrollment page. We may earn a referral fee if you sign up, but it never changes the order: plans are always ranked by your yearly cost.
