AGL and EnergyAustralia 1800x1000

Our verdict

AGL and EnergyAustralia are two of the largest energy providers in the country with a fair few similarities but AGL might have an edge if you care for sign-up deals and extra perks.

Plans and prices
We break down the details in our comparison table below, but the quick rundown is AGL and EnergyAustralia's cheapest electricity plans are on par for price.

Their cheapest gas plans are closely matched too though EnergyAustralia fares slightly better. However, AGL has a sign-up deal this month to sweeten the pot.

It also has a slightly more expensive plan with Netflix included (ad-tier subscription) while EnergyAustralia has a plan that offers fixed rates, meaning your prices won't change for 12 months.

Extra perks
EnergyAustralia is lacking in the additional perks department.

AGL, meanwhile, offers bundling discounts for mobile and internet if you prefer going with one provider for all your utilities.

It also has a rewards store that you can use to access retail discounts.
