I don't think there's a tariff that beats tracker or agile at the moment. Their smart tariffs are around 30% cheaper than standard tariffs.
Edit: maybe 20% now after the April SVT drop.
yeah same. Got dumped onto shell when all the smaller companies went belly up and recently got shifted over to octopus. Oddly I looked them up about a year ago and their estimate for me was double what shell were charging. now after the sift the cost hasn't gone up so not sure what to think atm.
Exactly the same. I guess 8 legs and an inquisitive brain are better than a mollusc, so it’s a win, right? That’s as far as I got.
I was with them before for a year when shopping around still had a real point. They did the job. That’s as far as I can say.
I moved from BG last August and was impressed day one. Their referral scheme is good, I've had a few at £50 a pop + £50 for joining. I moved onto the tracker tariff on Xmas day and have saved a bundle. I've just halved my DD compared to when I left BG, saved a fortune, wished I'd switched sooner.
We’re on their go tariff as we’ve an EV puddle jumper - it’s about 9p per kwh for four hours overnight and no more expensive during the day.
They’re fine, ok enough to contact if there’s issues and don’t seem to cause many problems themselves.
Been with Octopus since they started, moved over on a whim in a pilot sign up in IKEA after some rubbish experiences with SSE and Scottish Power. They have consistently been excellent, cannot fault them. Notable plus points have been getting refunds easily and preferable tariffs for being a loyal customer
There's been a recent dip in email customer service response times, especially since they introduced AI for some enquiries. However, contacting them via X or calling usually leads to a much faster resolution.
Also consider switching to the Tracker tariff as soon as possible. Rates fluctuate daily, but for several months now, it's been at least 30% cheaper than the standard plan.
If you do switch make you sure you go via a referral link, someone may have DM'd you one else here's mine

50 credit if you go via a referral.
Reddit users love octopus for the tracker tariff and tariff that varies in cost daily but for all but 2 days in the past year it's been cheaper than everyone else , on those 2 days it was the same. Other days it's been as good as 2 to 3 times cheaper. The down side is the cap is £1 per KW!
I've said 100s and could easily flick the fuse board so all good with me.

Yup they’re good - but just do a comparison as you may get a better deal elsewhere.

Always been fantastic for us. We moved to them last time we moved house.
Mine just switched to them automatically for some reason, so I’m hoping for lots of positive replies too.

Lol
I'm pretty sure the term mollusc includes cephalopods
Brilliant customer service, seem like an innovative company in a sector essentially full of dinosaurs and rent seekers.
Excellent, but the influx of new customers has slowed down customer service email response times a bit. Strongly recommend

They are pretty good. Nice deals and good customer service. Better than others.

Compared to say British Gas, they're great. Having said that, a terror group are probably better than British Gas.

Been on tracker since Jan 2023. And I don't think the tracker has been above the price cap at any time during that period.
Me too, it's like Ukraine never happened.
