AGL vs Alinta Energy

Alinta Energy often offers lower prices and Australia-based customer support. AGL provides more diverse lifestyle perks.
Alinta is typically cheaper for gas across all states, but electricity pricing varies depending on your location.
AGL features EV energy plans and Netflix bundles. Alinta has previously offered a Carbon Balance product, but it's no longer available to new customers (existing customers may be able to keep it).

Our verdict

AGL and Alinta Energy are both strong contenders but it feels like a 50-50 split between people who'd rather pay the cheapest amount for energy versus those who wouldn't mind spending a little bit more for extra perks.

Plans and prices
We break down the details in the comparison table below, but the quick rundown is Alinta Energy fares better price-wise across most states for its electricity and gas plans. This is based on their cheapest plans.

However, both AGL and Alinta Energy may offer sign-up deals from time to time, depending on your state and the plan you choose.

They also have plans with different selling points. For example, AGL has a slightly more expensive plan that includes a Netflix ad-support subscription. Alinta Energy offers a Carbon Balance plan to offset your energy-related emissions.

Extra perks
Would you benefit more from bundling internet, energy, and mobile with AGL to get extra discounts and its Peak Energy Rewards program? Or do you prefer going with Alinta Energy because it's potentially cheaper in your state and also offers access to a rewards store for retail discounts, similar to AGL? Oh, and it has an Australia-based customer support team?

That's more or less where the main differences in perks lie. Both providers offer an app to track your energy usage (though it's not available to Alinta gas customers in WA just yet).
