Download the octopus compare app(android), supply the connection to your octopus account and it will show you what it would have costed on Agile you can then compare that to your E7 bills

Presuming you have a smart meter and it is sending readings every 30 mins.

Thanks for that, just found out that I would have been £20 better of on Agile in October and that's without shifting anything towards the night. Good app 

Hi - just a word of caution - October was a "weird" Agile month with a mixture of unusually high and unusually low prices in quick succession. So it would be a good idea to look at a few more months before you conclude anything....

I don't think the lows were particular low or unusual. October has been a relatively expensive month for me.

Same here. My Agile import has averaged 15.9p, but if I exclude all the free electricity I wouldn't otherwise have used which drags down the average price, it would have been 19p per kWh. Still better than the 24.5p SVR, but a noticeable increase compared to the previous few months.

This thread has been resurrected from 1 year ago so the low's referred to are from October 2023.  The advice given a year ago may not apply now as Octopus Agile has increased substantially recently.
