Welcome to Savings as a Service

Every month in this newsletter we’ll be posting news and information relating to bill savings, energy efficiency, the Bill Hero product development journey, and other information to help you stay on top of your bills.

Welcome to Savings as a Service, the Bill Hero newsletter.

Bill Hero takes energy comparison to the next level by doing the legwork to help you stay on the best priced energy plan, permanently.

Bill Hero automatically monitors and analyses every bill for you, and runs a personalised comparison by taking the usage and time period from each bill, and calculating what you would have been charged under all the alternative plans available from every retailer. Yep, all of them. Then we rank them all by price so its easy to see how your bill compares.

We’ll initiate a switch whenever we find savings for you greater than your personal Bothered Threshold.

We call this Savings as a Service. It’s a breakthrough in the tired old world of energy comparison, and it’s available right now, only at BillHero.com.au.

Join our happy subscribers and stop comparing and start saving today.
