The honest take

Who wins?

Gexa and 4Change both compete in the sub-10¢/kWh advertised-rate bracket, and both sell it using bill credits — you get a flat credit only if you hit exactly 1,000 or 2,000 kWh. Miss it by 10 kWh and your effective rate jumps 2–4¢. 4Change's Maxx Saver Select line tends to be slightly more forgiving at the 1,000 kWh mark, while Gexa's Eco Saver 12 often wins at 2,000+. Voltcheckr calculates which one actually beats the other at YOUR specific usage — don't trust the advertised rate.
