THE HONEST TAKE

Who wins?

4Change's Maxx Saver Select plans are usually 1–2¢/kWh cheaper than Cirro — IF your usage consistently hits the credit threshold (typically 1,000 kWh). For households with variable month-to-month usage (vacations, seasonal changes, roommates moving in/out), Cirro's flat pricing is actually cheaper in the long run because you never get penalized for missing the threshold. Voltcheckr recommends Cirro for anyone whose usage swings more than ±300 kWh between months.
