    For those wanting to do a comparison of tariffs in the current absence of octoprice.app I'm using Agile Compare (free) which seems to be pretty decent.

    FreePhase dynamic has its own predictor of prices for the next 3 days, wish Agile had something similar:

    Thanks for the pointer. Did you just move electricity or both?

    My gas is LPG (which seems extraordinarily immune to Trumpy. I'm paying less now than two years ago)

    so just the leccy went.

    If what I said helped you, please "Thank" the relevant post. It cheers me up somewhat..

    We're sticking with it for the long haul, it's turned into a bit of a game now which is somewhat enjoyable & learning a lot in the process , lucky to be in this position i guess as fortunately we invested rather than put money into solar, batteries etc for various reasons 7yrs ago . However we're not going to waste cash just as much as not wasting electricity for the sake of it, still at circa 19p/kWh for 60kWh for November to date thanks to 4 happy hours so happy enough.

    Have jumped to the Eon EV tariff, prices fixed for 12 months, but no exit fee. We will get solar and battery installed in the next few months, so will look to switch to a relevant tariff then, but for now, we just couldn’t justify the high cost of Agile. I’ve estimated, that from January, when standard rates increase, the new Eon tariff will be slightly cheaper, so worth the slightly higher cost for a couple of months before the position reversed.

    After a horrible experience with Scottish Power and a flagrant data breach with Npower/E.on, I am wary of changing suppliers. Octopus isn't what it was but seems miles ahead of others. I'm still gritting my teeth with Agile - just wish they would bring the Standing Charge down a bit as that is a real killer when you don't use that much electricity …

    Deep seated hatred of Scottish Power and all who sail in her - would love to see Ofgem grow a pair and actually do something about it.

    I'm with you on not really wanting to step away from Octopus - I've been happier with them than with any other supplier I have used previously, and I am willing to pay a little more for what I see as a better product.

    Ironically enough our SC on Agile was around 4p cheaper than it is on Flexible!
