Octopus Cosy vs Tomato

[Andehh]

Just wanted to see if anyone has recently done a comparison between these two tariffs.... both offer very cheap periods balanced with more average priced periods.

 

We have an ASHP and do struggle to keep usage within the Cosy periods, but Tomato's 1 - 6 for 5p is quite a potential saving I think. Standing rate is also cheaper, and no high prices at dinner time.

 

Gut feeling has me strongly thinking Tomato will win out, but wanted to check if anyone else has looked into it?

Also if anyone knows if you can check your daily usage/an app with Tomato... im a real data nerd!!

Cosy just looks like a new name for the old Economy 10 rate.

 

Tomato looks like pot lick depending on supply and demand, so a gamble.

I don't seem to be able to get lifestyle frustratingly, smets2 properties on the street are eligible but I've got a smets1 firmware upgraded to smets2 and it just doesn't show as available.

 

Cosy is working well though, 12p/kWh average for me. Tomato would probably be cheaper.

We're averaging about 19p on cosy, but I think because we cook during the high rate period generally! I'm strongly leaning towards tomato I must admit. Although I do like the octopus app and daily energy tracking.

I would try calling them to check customer service. Do they answer the phone, do they even have a phone.

 

Thing about Octopus is, I have never not been able to speak someone, that person is in the UK, and they are always willing to help. After my experience with OVO and BG, I will be sticking with Octopus.
