Compare real NZ power prices in seconds
The real drivers of cost can be hard to spot in our power bills. RateGate uses raw, crowd-sourced data to show you what the electricity companies are really charging and how their plans stack up.
Upload your bill
Compare the numbers that make the biggest difference to your bill.
The two biggest cost drivers on your power bill are the daily rate and the per-unit rate for electricity consumed. Retailers make these hard to compare — burying them behind bundle discounts, early payment incentives, credit card discounts, and inconsistent GST and EA Levy calculations.
Upload your latest electricity bill and add your anonymised plan data to the public record. We strip away all the noise and show how the rates you pay compare to every other plan available from power companies in your area. We only show real bill data provided by people like you.
Upload your latest power bill
We'll extract the rates from your bill and show you how they compare to others in the dataset. Rates are normalised — GST and EA Levies included, discounts excluded. Your bill joins a crowd-sourced record of what NZ retailers are actually charging their customers.
How do your rates compare?
Each dot is a unique electricity plan sourced from a real customer bill, plotted by daily charge vs per-unit rate. A benchmark cost representing usage of 650 units over 28 days has been added for comparison. Use the filters to explore plans from different retailers and areas.

We do our best to process each PDF correctly, but sometimes we
make mistakes — always verify anything important directly
with your retailer. We use AI to help extract rates from bill
formats we haven't seen before, but your personal details (name,
customer ID, address) never go anywhere near it.
We only
care about the rates.
