Fixed rate vs flexible rate

Dippygoose

I’m currently with octopus on flexible rate economy 7 .
I’m sorry I am autistic and dyslexic and the numbers confuse me. 

Would it be cheaper for me to be on a fixed flat rate or flexible with day and night rates ?

It depends on your ratio of off-peak to on peak usage is. If you are not using more than 50% off-peak then you may be better off on a single rate.

If you have a smartphone the Octopus Compare app (free, independent developer) wiill answer this sort of question using your actual consumption data.

So you can work out your best tariff by comparing the historic cost of A vs B on a daily, weekly and monthly basis without inputting any numbers.

Thank you very much. I’ve managed to work out the app and it’s about £5 difference a month.
