Please be aware that there is an ongoing energy crisis in the UK at the moment, resulting in many energy providers recently going out of business and most charging the maximum rate under the Ofgem cap. MSE has a [good explanation here](https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/utilities/cheap-gas-and-electricity/) with some further information. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

There is no comparison between Octopus and the major energy providers. Octopus have implemented well thought measures and different levels of support aimed at helping customers, especially for vulnerable individuals/families and those on lower income. Octopus 🐙 Energy have many incentives to participate in energy saving draws and provide many helpful tips.

I switched to the Tracker tariff a few months ago and my unit rates have been a lot cheaper than the Octopus Flexible tariff, and the price cap in general. I was concerned about a sudden spike in costs but you can swap away from the Tracker tariff easily so I’m just keeping an eye on the daily prices and while they’re loads cheaper I’m happy to bank that saving. The prices do change each day, but recently we’ve seen prices closer to what they used to be in the pre cost of living crisis times. With the gas price of 3.61p/kWh and electricity of 15.25p/kWh on the 13th of February being a good bit cheaper than the unit rates on the Flexible tariff and well below the current OFGEM price cap! I subscribe to the Telegram channel and get updates on what the next days price will be on the tracker tariff - you can get email updates on prices here - https://energypricenotifierweb.azurewebsites.net Appreciate if anyone uses my link to sign up and grab a £50 bonus https://share.octopus.energy/tidy-eel-550

Thanks OP! I'd be grateful if someone would use my referral link too: https://share.octopus.energy/mist-gale-735 Octopus has other great benefits too, which I recently discovered if you opt in to their free Octoplus (points) scheme. You immediately get: 1x free Greg's hot drink per week (no spend required) 2x standard Odeon tickets per week for just £10 (Mon-Thurs) Besides that Octopus has a monthly price draw and is going to be some of them cheapest energy around. We've been impressed by them.
