What is Wattbuy and How Does it Work?

‍

TL;DR: While Wattbuy offers lower energy rates, they get paid by energy suppliers to recommend certain energy plans. Currents has built technology for the customer to save on energy bills through automatic supplier switching and spam protection, not lead gen for partners.

How Currents Is Different—and Better

While WattBuy helps you compare and select energy plans, Currents takes home energy savings to the next level with a fully automated, proactive approach.

Currents doesn’t just recommend lower rates—it automatically switches you to the best supplier as soon as savings are available, ensuring you never overpay for electricity.

This hands-off process means zero hassle for you; Currents handles all the paperwork, supplier communication, and ongoing rate monitoring [2, 4].

What truly sets Currents apart is its Shared Savings model.

‍

What is Shared Savings?

Unlike Wattbuy who makes a commission by recommending specific suppliers they are partnered with, Currents is entirely focused on the consumer.

Currents only makes money when you save money. This is not the case for other platforms.

‍

For every dollar you save, Currents takes just twenty cents, aligning their incentives with yours.

‍There are no commissions from energy companies, no variable rates, and no hidden fees—just transparent, ongoing savings.

Plus, with Currents’ Positive Promise Guarantee, if you don’t save compared to your utility’s standard rate, you’re refunded 100% of the difference.

Solving the Spam Problem in Energy

The energy market is rampant with less-than-savory marketing practices, door-to-door sales, and low introductory rates that then get jacked up to high, variable rates.

Currents builds technology to protect you from predatory marketing and spam using proxy technology. No more annoying phone calls or emails. We only pass you the important information you're meant to know.

They also offer personalized insights, and helps you monetize solar energy or compare solar quotes—all powered by AI and expert guidance. The result? The average homeowner saves $350 per year, with many seeing even greater savings and a seamless, stress-free experience.
