PowerBill is completely Independent and is not affiliated to any energy distributor or retailer, and does not earn commissions, unlike comparison services that earn commissions from the energy retailers when you take up their services based on the information gained from their comparison service. How PowerBill Makes Money is a clearer and totally upfront manner.
How PowerBill Makes Money is through the small fees charged ($2-5 depending on the product you choose) to cover the cost of:
- Providing you with the accurate lower level billing detail, that you would not gain elsewhere, which enables you to more closely scrutinise exactly where your money is being charged.
- Comparing the cheapest publicly available electricity plan prices from every retailer, and giving you that information immediately.
- Processing administration.
Why PowerBill Is Truly Independent
PowerBill is built to protect consumers, not to promote energy companies.
We do not:
- earn commissions.
- receive referral fees.
- partner with retailers.
- promote sponsored plans.
- sell or share your data.
We also do not ask for personal details such as your name, email, phone number, or address.
Your smart‑meter data stays with you and is used only to calculate your bill and compare plans accurately. As soon as you clear your browser history, any memory of the data uploaded is deleted.
This independence ensures that every result you see is based solely on your real usage, not on commercial incentives.
