How is Bill Hero different to comparison sites?

Bill Hero is a Savings Service, not a comparison site.

Updated over a year ago

Comparison sites make money by taking commissions from their real customers, the energy retailers on their 'panel' of providers. The comparison sites are working for them, not for you.

They don't actually 'compare the market', and you or I can never really 'select' the best deal, because they'll only ever show you plans from the retailers they work for, and their incentive is to sell you into any plan that will generate a commission, not to find the plan that is best for you.
​
Also, comparison sites are one-time only, so you need to keep going back, over and over again, to review your plan. Retailers know that many people find this too hard, so they ratchet up their prices over time.
​
Bill Hero is different. We automatically monitor and analyse every bill for you, and compare that bill against the entire market of relevant plans from every retailer. We calculate what your bill would have cost under every one of those alternative plans, then rank them all by price to see exactly where your bill stands and how much you could save. We'll let you know whenever we find savings for you greater than your personal Bothered Threshold.

We never seek or accept any commissions, kickbacks, payments or inducements of any kind from retailers. We're funded solely by subscribers like you, which means we are 100% independent, and our only incentive is to keep you happy by ensuring you're always on the best deal. We know exactly who we're working for.

Bill Hero is at your service.
