How MeterMentor Works
Start with a free comparison. Add a paid pass when you want the other plans we found, provider links when available, and more details before you switch.
What You Get Free
- Your estimated current-plan cost
- Your real usage profile by season and time of day
- A switch verdict: switch now, wait, bridge, or use caution
- The savings math behind that verdict
- The specific top provider and plan match, including the EFL when available
- Important watch-outs such as bill credits, cancellation fees, and eligibility
No account required to start.
What a Paid Pass Adds
- Other strong plan options, not just the top match
- Plan watch-outs to review before switching
- Provider signup links when available, without provider commissions
- Reminder and re-check features are planned later as MeterMentor expands
The pass is non-renewing. MeterMentor does not take provider commissions.
Share Your Usage Data
Accurate recommendations start with real usage data. MeterMentor supports:
- Original Smart Meter Texas exports - Upload the original CSV for the easiest path.
- Green Button XML files - Upload your original XML export if you have one.
- Planned later: email forwarding - Forward Smart Meter Texas usage report emails instead of uploading manually.
We use 12 months of data when available to account for seasonal swings.
We Estimate Your Real Cost
We compare available plans in your service area and estimate your likely cost based on:
- Your monthly usage patterns
- Time-of-use variation, if applicable
- Base charges and fixed fees
- Tiered pricing structures
- Usage credits and bill credits
- TDU delivery charges for your area
Unlike a simple rate table, we use your actual usage history instead of a generic 1,000 kWh example.
Decide With Your Free Comparison
Review your verdict, your savings math, and the named top plan match. If you want to keep going, a paid pass shows the other plans we found and provider links when available.
Review More Details Before You Switch
Paid access gives you more plan details and provider links now. Reminder and re-check features are planned later as the product expands.
