How We Make Money

We believe you should know exactly how a website pays its way – so here it is, in plain English.

The short version

When you switch to Octopus Energy using a referral link on this site, Octopus pays a £50 referral reward to you and a £50 reward to us, the referrer. The two rewards are separate. Using our link does not reduce, delay or affect your £50 in any way – Octopus funds both sides itself.

That referral reward is what keeps this website running. We don’t charge you anything, and we never will.

What this means for you

  • You get the full reward. Home accounts receive £50 (£75 for business or charity), exactly as Octopus advertises.
  • It costs you nothing. There’s no markup, fee, or catch on our side.
  • You sign up directly with Octopus. We never see your bank details or personal data – that goes straight to Octopus. See our Privacy Policy.

Our editorial independence

Because we earn from referrals, we work hard to keep our advice honest rather than just promotional. We tell you when the scheme has conditions, when you might not get the credit (for example, switching via a comparison site), and what to check before you commit. Our guidance is based on the official scheme rules, not on what earns us the most.
