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.
