Our verdict

Switchcraft suits households that want energy, broadband and insurance handled in the same place, and the switching fee is free. It scores 8.7 overall on the strength of a 31 supplier panel, though it does not cover the whole market and support runs on email only.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • The switching fee is free, so nothing comes out of your pocket to move a deal across.
  • Auto switch is yes, so a changeover can run without you chasing a supplier or watching a date.
  • A panel of 31 suppliers ranks 3 of 7 here, a little above the 30 median across switching services.
  • Energy, broadband and insurance sit under energy, broadband and insurance, where EnergieKiezer covers energy alone.

Cons

  • Support runs on email only, so a phone call is not an option if a switch goes wrong.
  • Commission list published is no, so the supplier payments behind a recommendation are not set out.
  • Whole market is no, so some suppliers sit outside the 31 panel you can search.

Who it suits

  • Households switching energy in GB where the switching fee is free.
  • People moving several services at once, given energy, broadband and insurance in the same place.
  • Shoppers who would rather set auto switch than track every deadline by hand.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone who prefers to pick up the phone, because support runs on email only, should weigh what Gaslicht.com offers before starting.
  • Readers who want every supplier in front of them, since Whole market is no here and the 31 supplier panel leaves some deals out.

Core features

Switchcraft's panel covers 31 suppliers and auto switch is yes, so the two things you weigh sit together: a spread of quotes and a changeover that does not depend on you remembering to chase it. A panel is simply the set of suppliers a comparison service can quote from. The larger it is, the more likely your own usage fits something in the room, and the more options you have when a cheaper tariff appears. Size on its own does not promise a cheap deal, but it does widen what you can choose from. Auto switch is the detail worth pausing on, because it changes who does the work. Without it, a switch means finding a better tariff, asking a supplier to take you, and then watching the start date arrive. With auto switch set up, the move is arranged as part of taking the new deal, so timing matters less once the choice is made. Taken together, the practical case is plain. You pick from 31 suppliers, and auto switch carries the change across for you. The trade-off to keep in mind is that a panel only shows what Switchcraft can quote, so a tariff from a supplier it does not carry will not appear in your results. Have your usage figures ready before you commit, and you will get more out of the wider panel.

The company behind it

Switchcraft is run by Hazelnut London Ltd, a company based in the United Kingdom and founded in 2017. A named legal entity and a founding year tell you something practical: who stands behind the switch, and how long they have been doing it. The base matters for a comparison service, because the tariffs on offer follow the market they sit in. Hazelnut London Ltd works from GB, so what you see is shaped by that market rather than by a mixed list pulled from elsewhere. Support runs on email, which is the detail to plan around. Email suits anything that needs detail in writing: a supplier waiting on a meter read, a switch that has not happened on the date you were given, a bill that looks wrong. Send the specifics in a single message and you have a record of what was answered. It also means no phone line or live chat for anyone who would rather talk a problem through. For a service whose main job is handing a switch over to a supplier on your behalf, written replies carry most of the load, and the rest is keeping an eye on dates. Put together, Hazelnut London Ltd is a settled operation with a narrow support channel.

Frequently asked questions

Does it cost anything to switch with Switchcraft?+

No, the switching fee is free. That means the handover from your current supplier to a new tariff carries no charge from Switchcraft itself. What you still pay is your energy bill with the new supplier, plus any early exit charges your existing contract may carry, which sit with the current supplier rather than the comparison service.

How many suppliers can I compare?+

The panel covers 31 suppliers, which puts Switchcraft at 3 of 7 on panel size across the brands compared here. The wider the panel, the more tariffs sit in front of you before you settle, so the number is a useful shortcut when you want to know whether there is anything to switch to at all.

What does auto switch actually do?+

Auto switch is yes, so a switch can be set up to run once you have chosen a supplier rather than being a task you handle alone. In practice the changeover is arranged as part of taking the new deal, and you are not left tracking a start date or reminding anyone to act on it.

Which things can I switch through Switchcraft?+

Energy, broadband and insurance all sit under energy, broadband and insurance. That matters if you are already moving one of them, because a single panel can cover the lot instead of visiting a separate service for each switch. Energy is the main part of the offer, with broadband and insurance alongside it in the same place.

Which market does Switchcraft serve?+

Everything runs in the United Kingdom, and the company behind it is based in the United Kingdom. The suppliers, tariffs and rules you see are the ones for that market rather than a mixed list from elsewhere. If your energy supply sits in another country, a comparison built around GB will not be the right tool for it.

How do I get hold of Switchcraft?+

Support runs on email. Email is the right channel for anything with detail attached, such as a meter read that has not landed or a switch date that has passed. There is no phone line or live chat listed, so it helps to have dates, account references and supplier names ready before you write.

Who is behind Switchcraft?+

The service is operated by Hazelnut London Ltd, which was founded in 2017. A named company and a founding date are the basics worth having: they tell you which legal entity stands behind the switch, and how long it has been doing this work in the United Kingdom.

Why do I not see every supplier?+

Whole market is no. The panel covers 31 suppliers, so it is a selected set rather than every supplier trading in the United Kingdom. A deal from a supplier outside that set will not appear in your results, which is worth remembering if you already have a tariff in mind and cannot find it there.
