I’m always sceptical about any company doing something for free, they can’t and commission from the energy companies makes you wonder if they are really getting the best deal for you.
Also they have a hell of a lot of data about you, can they sell it? If they are based outside of the UK especially after brexit then they won’t be covered by our data protection laws.

Apparently they get the same commission from every supplier.

There are a couple of sites like this now. I am not bothered who knows how much energy I use so do not see the data they have as an issue.

All switching sites are on commission such that they are not undercut if you go directly to the supplier. They now have to list cheaper deals who they do not have a commision with.

Personally I just go for the best deal with no exit fees - at the moment I am with OVO energy.

The big firms now only offer the best deals if you have a smart meter. In the small print they will say they are not the absolute cheapest but still better than the likes of me who has stuck with OVO for 5 years. A lot of the cheapest ones like Bulb if they still exist offer crap service.

Thumbs up I tried a quote

I went on the Look after my Bills website they said they could save me £471 a year by changing to iSupplyEnergy - This is a 1 year contract, £60.00 exit fee applicable, I think I will also have to have a smart meter installed.

Trust Pilot Reviews on this company were not great - will try other comparison sites & switch myself soon.

Got me thinking I need to switch - have moved tonight via U-switch to Green Network Energy's GNE Summer Saver V4 plan. Claimed saving is £700 for dual energy I will be happy if I save £250!
