Gatby

Gatby, a licensed electricity rate comparison service in Texas and other states

Gatby is a digital marketplace that lets consumers compare and sign up for fixed-rate electricity plans. The platform presents itself as a free alternative to traditional searching, where users have to check multiple sites and make phone calls. According to data from its own marketplace, the plans available on Gatby are on average 6¢/kWh cheaper than those found when searching on your own.

How the service works

The process is described in three steps: enter your ZIP code (about 5 seconds), browse available plans (about 3 minutes), and complete enrollment (about 90 seconds). The company states that full registration can be done in under five minutes and that the service is permanently free. The business model is based on a referral fee paid by providers when the user saves, at no cost to the consumer.

The platform lets you filter options by home size, provider, contract length, no deposit, green energy, poor credit, fixed rate, same-day enrollment, and bill credit. Gatby says it brings together more than 20 providers and works with every licensed provider in Texas.

Plans and enrollment options

Gatby's catalog includes more than 100 fixed-rate plans. Among the providers listed are 4Change Energy, Abundance, Amigo Energy, APG&E, Atlantex Power, BKV Energy, Champion Energy, Cirro Energy, Constellation, Direct Energy, Discount Power, Express Energy, Frontier Utilities, Gexa Energy, Good Charlie, IronHorse, Just Energy, Ohm Connect, Payless Power, Pulse Power, Rhythm Energy, Shell Energy, Tara Energy, Varsity, and Veteran Energy.

The company notes that average household savings amount to $480 per year. Its website shows an illustrative example of a bill dropping from $176 to $121 per month, though it clarifies that rates are for illustration only and vary by location, usage, and market conditions, and that savings are not guaranteed.
