Working on my energy budget

Hi,
So I am working on my energy budgeting to lower my tariff, and I am finding something rather confusing.
I understand what the standing charge actually is. What I don't get is how the comparison sites are listing the charges.
For instance, EDF.
Money supermarket charges quote.
Standing Charge £0.452 per day
Electricity
Day rate 15.110p per kWh
Night rate (E7) 5.460p per kWh
Gas
All kWh 3.579p per kWh
Uswitch EDF quote
Gas Annual standing charge £91.25
Gas Unit Price 3.409p
Electric Annual standing charge £65.70
Electric Unit Price 14.390p (first 2092 kWh)
5.200p (anything after first lot of kWh)
It is clear to see mathematically that the money supermarket quote is offering me a very very very low annual standing charge if you work out the yearly cost from the given day rate.
How is there such a vast difference, or am I missing something stupidly obvious?
Regards.

The two tariffs are different. Why have you picked an Economy 7 tariff for only one website?0
