Real customers who were tired of being rejected

– James, Dallas

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this legitimate? How do I know this isn’t a scam?
Yes, this is completely legitimate. We offer two types of regulated electricity service in Texas:
Prepaid Power: Payless Power is a licensed Texas electricity provider (PUCT #10110) regulated by the Texas Public Utility Commission. Prepaid electricity is a legal, regulated service available throughout Texas.
Traditional Monthly Billing: Our comparison service connects you with multiple licensed Texas electricity providers, all regulated by the Texas Public Utility Commission. These are the same major providers you’d find on the state’s official Power to Choose website.
Both options use only licensed, regulated electricity providers that follow Texas energy laws. You’re simply choosing your preferred payment method – prepaid or traditional monthly billing.
What is the difference between prepaid and traditional monthly billing?
Prepaid: Pay upfront for electricity, get daily balance alerts, and no credit check needed. Your $40 payment goes directly toward your electricity usage.
Monthly Billing: Traditional monthly bills, credit check required, but we find providers with no deposit needed. Choose from multiple licensed Texas providers.
Are there any hidden fees?
No hidden fees. The rates shown include all fees, discounts, and Oncor delivery charges. What you see is what you pay – that’s our guarantee.
What if I can’t make a payment?
Prepaid: You’ll receive daily alerts when your balance gets low, giving you time to add funds. You can add money 24/7 online, by phone, or at thousands of retail locations—no late fees or penalties.
Monthly Billing: Traditional monthly billing with standard late fee policies that vary by provider. Most providers offer payment plans and extensions if you contact them before your due date.
Will this affect my credit score?
Prepaid: No credit check to enroll, and prepaid service is not reported to credit agencies. It won’t impact your credit score.
Monthly Billing: We use a soft credit check that won’t affect your score to find no-deposit options. Monthly service may be reported to credit agencies (both positive and negative payment history), which can help build credit when you pay on time.
How quickly can I get power?
Prepaid: Service can typically be connected the same day if you enroll before 3 PM on business days. Weekend and holiday connections may take 1-2 business days.
Monthly Billing: Connection timing varies by provider, but typically 1-3 business days after approval. Some providers offer same-day connections for an additional fee.
