Most people are on their supplier's default tariff - the most expensive option. Are you one of them?

Every deal is scored on price, service, complaints record, reviews, certainty and exit fees - so you get the most well-rounded deal possible.
A small thank you for joining us, paid once your switch completes.
*To claim your cashback, email us at team@switch-pilot.com with a screenshot of your switch confirmation from your new supplier. We'll pay your cashback within 7 days. One cashback per household.
The cheapest deal isn't always the best deal. A bargain tariff from a supplier with terrible customer service or a hefty exit fee can end up costing you more in the long run. That's why every deal gets a SwitchPilot Score out of 100, so you can compare the full picture at a glance.
Here's what goes into it:
💰 Price (40%) - How much you'll save compared to the Ofgem price cap. The bigger the saving, the higher the score.
🏛️ Citizens Advice rating (15%) - The supplier's official star rating from Citizens Advice, covering complaints, call wait times, billing accuracy and customer commitments. Updated quarterly.
📋 Ofgem complaints record (15%) - How many complaints Ofgem receives about the supplier per 100,000 customers. Fewer complaints means a better score.
⭐ Trustpilot reviews (15%) - The supplier's Trustpilot rating, checked weekly. Real customers, real experiences.
🔒 Price certainty (10%) - Fixed tariffs score higher because your rate is locked in and won't change. Variable and tracker tariffs score lower because your bill can go up if the market moves.
🚪 Freedom to leave (5%) - Deals with no exit fee score highest. The bigger the exit fee, the lower the score - because you don't want to be trapped if a better deal comes along.
If a supplier is too new to have Citizens Advice or Ofgem data, the missing weight is spread across the other factors.
No supplier can pay for a higher ranking. The score is the score.

The energy market is broken by design. Hidden charges are layered into your bill by policy, not accident - and most people have no idea they're paying them. Here's what's really going on.
You pay wind farms to switch off. When it's too windy, the grid can't cope - so we pay generators to stop producing. That cost lands on your bill.
Electricity prices are set by gas - even when most of our power comes from cheap wind and solar. It's a pricing mechanism that inflates your bill even on a calm, sunny day.
You're picking up other people's debt. UK energy debt hit £4.4 billion. Suppliers spread that cost across all customers - so your bill is quietly subsidising everyone who isn't paying theirs.
Every time you switch, you force suppliers to compete harder for your business. More switching means a more competitive market and better deals for everyone. Switching is how it gets fixed.
We're energy industry professionals who've worked inside suppliers and built tariff pricing models. We know where the money goes and why bills keep rising - so we built SwitchPilot to do something about it.
We keep energy comparison simple. Enter your postcode, compare deals, and switch in minutes. No jargon, no hassle. Completely free.
We only earn when you save. SwitchPilot is completely free to use. We rank deals on a composite score - no supplier can pay for a higher position.
We make you a more informed consumer. Plain-English explainers, a bill calculator, and a bill scanner. The more you understand, the harder it is for the industry to take advantage.
It's simple. Compare, switch, save. That's it.
Your energy bill isn't just paying for gas and electricity. Hidden costs are baked in - here's where your money actually goes.
Upload a photo of your energy bill and our AI breaks down every charge, tells you if your tariff is good value or if you're being overcharged, and flags anything that looks wrong.
Find out if you're on a fair deal - or getting ripped off
