How to Use the Compare AppStep 1 - Calculate your Usage Costs (Bill amount) in the PowerBill app.
Step 2 - Export the 'Results' file and Upload it into the Compare app window(s).
Step 3 - Repeat Step 1 and 2 (you only need to change the rates to recalculate).
Step 4 - After 2nd Import, Click the 'Compare Plans' Button.
That's it!
Compare Apples & Oranges and have the result make sense!!
i.e. Compare a Time Of Use plan versus a Single Rate plan to see the difference.
The Usage Data stays the same - the rates and applicable hours change.
Tip - For 'Single Rate' use the Offpeak ‘Entry field’ as the related hours default to Offpeak.
Watch this demonstration video to see how it works.

Compare does not Generalise on consumption usage, as it can be misleading.
For instance, some plans are rated as being cheaper than others because the comparison uses a generalised usage total of 3900 kWh assumed to be at one rate for all 3900 kWh's - because they are not using your actual data that gives the right result for you.
But when you use the rates applicable to the breakdown of your 'actual' kWh's usage total (let's still use the 3900 for this example), you actually get a different result.
Try it for yourself and see. Plug in the figures of the currently advertised plans from the comparison websites and you will see the difference. Accuracy matters!
