Our verdict on each
Energy Ogre
Energy Ogre suits US households happy to pay a subscription rather than shop every supplier themselves, covering the whole market from from 100 suppliers with auto switch and a 90 day money-back window. The trade-off is openness, since the commission list stays unpublished where Gaslicht.com charges free.
Switcher.ie partnerships
Switcher.ie is a free switching service for Irish households that want one place to compare energy, broadband, mobile and insurance deals. It suits readers who value a published commission list and a full market view more than hand-holding, with support running on email only.

Pros and cons
Energy Ogre
Pros
- Whole-market comparison in the United States, with a panel running from from 100 suppliers rather than a chosen shortlist.
- Auto switch and a mobile app, so the tariff and the account both move without a second negotiation.
- A money-back window of 90 days puts a firm clock on the risk of a switch.
Cons
- A subscription fee model where EnergieKiezer runs free and Gaslicht.com runs free.
- Cover stops at US and energy, so there is no second market and no broadband, mobile or insurance comparison alongside it.
- Support runs on phone, email and help centre, concentrating every question into phone, email and the help centre.
Switcher.ie partnerships
Pros
- The switching fee model is free, so running a comparison costs a household nothing.
- Coverage reaches the whole market across 11 suppliers, so the Irish panel is seen in full rather than a selection.
- One account covers energy, broadband and mobile, giving a household with several bills a single place to start.
Cons
- Support runs on email only, so anyone who prefers to talk a switch through has a single written route.
- Coverage of 11 suppliers sits below the 30 median for switching services, so some Irish offers never reach the comparison.
- The service is confined to IE, so a household outside Ireland gets nothing usable from it.
Who each suits
Energy Ogre
Who it suits
- Readers who want the whole market searched for them instead of a shortlist, and who accept a subscription charge for it.
- Households that expect to move or change usage and want auto switch plus 90 days of money-back cover.
- Anyone who wants a traceable company behind the service, Energy Ogre, LLC trading since 2013.
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers who will not pay a switching fee at all, since Gaslicht.com charges free and Compare Power charges free.
- Households shopping outside the US energy market, where Energy Ogre covers US and energy only.
- Readers who want supplier commissions written down in public, because the commission list here is not published.
Switcher.ie partnerships
Who it suits
- Households in IE who want to see the whole energy market before choosing a supplier.
- Readers who would rather switch energy, broadband, mobile and insurance from a single account.
- People who want to read a published commission list before deciding which offer suits them.
Who should look elsewhere
- EnergieKiezer, if you plan to switch broadband, mobile or insurance as well as energy, since its range is energy alone.
- Gaslicht.com, if an energy switch is all you need handled, since it covers energy and nothing more.

Questions about each
Energy Ogre
How much does Energy Ogre charge to switch supplier?+
Energy Ogre uses a subscription fee model, so there is a standing charge for the service rather than a commission taken out of your savings. That is the line to compare against EnergieKiezer at free and Gaslicht.com at free, where no such charge applies. The subscription is the price of using the switcher, not of the tariff you pick.
Does Energy Ogre cover the whole market?+
Yes, the whole market is covered rather than a chosen shortlist, and the panel behind that runs from from 100 suppliers. A whole-market service is the safer default because the recommendation is not limited to the tariffs of a couple of providers. The trade-off sits in the fee model, which is a subscription charge for the household.
Switcher.ie partnerships
What does it cost to use Switcher.ie?+
Using the service is free at the point of switching, since the switching fee model is free. Nothing has to be spent to run a comparison or ask a supplier for a quote, and a household can read what is on offer before committing to a move.
How many suppliers can I compare?+
Switcher.ie covers the whole market and works across 11 suppliers, which is the Irish energy panel a household is most likely to meet. Because the whole market is included, the figures reflect what is on offer across the market rather than a limited selection.
