About
Someone needs to be paid to say “leave it alone.”
Why a paid-by-you household bill check needed to exist, and what we’re trying to do about it.
How the market is paid
Comparison sites get paid when you switch. Every one of them.
The deal is simple: the supplier pays them a commission for sending you over. Which means the only product the Irish market currently funds is “reasons to switch.” Not “reasons to stay,” not “reasons it doesn’t matter,” not “reasons to call about something else.” Just reasons to switch.
Why households can’t tell
Most households can’t tell whether they’re being had.
Tariffs change quarterly. Contracts auto-renew silently. Fixed-period discounts roll off at different rates across suppliers. Government electricity credits land unevenly through the year. Exit fees only become visible when you actually try to leave.
None of this is hidden; it’s just not packaged in a form a busy household can act on. The information’s there. The time and the framing aren’t.
What’s missing
Nobody in the room is paid to say “leave it alone.”
A trustworthy answer to “is my current deal okay?” requires someone who’d be just as happy telling you to do nothing as telling you to switch. That can’t be a comparison site, by definition. It can’t be a supplier, by definition. It can’t be an aggregator that takes a fee for the switch.
The position has to be paid for by the household whose bill is being checked, because that’s the only configuration where the money points the same direction as the household’s interest.
What we’re building
That’s the role we’re trying to play.
We’re paid by you, not the suppliers. We cover whole household bills, not just energy. We say “leave it alone” out loud when it’s the right answer, including to our own subscribers. We watch your contract end and intro-offer dates and re-check the market before each one turns, because the moment a fixed period ends is the moment most households quietly start overpaying again.
