Our verdict
AGL and Origin Energy both have plenty of perks to offer, but your choice will likely come down to price and the best sign-up deals.
Plans and prices
We break down the details in the comparison table below, but as a quick example, AGL is cheaper for electricity in NSW, while both are pretty even in VIC. They're also offering competitive sign-up deals this month but the better offer varies by state.
Both have basic plans and pricier ones with perks - AGL throws in Netflix on one, while Origin Energy gives Everyday Rewards Points.
AGL offers the option of monthly and quarterly billing, Origin Energy does quarterly billing only. However, electricity customers with a smart meter can request monthly billing.
Otherwise, they're quite similar, with apps to track your energy use and plenty of customer support options.
Extra perks
Would you benefit more from bundling internet and energy with Origin Energy because you get $10 a month off plus a 12-month Paramount+ subscription?
Or would AGL's retail discounts through its rewards program, along with mobile, internet, and energy bundles, be a better fit for you?

Hi George, AGL, Origin Energy and Dodo are all good options to start with. The best one will depend on pricing at your address.
To narrow it down:
– Check solar feed-in tariffs – this is what you earn for excess energy, and it varies by plan and provider
– Compare usage rates and daily supply charges – these usually have a bigger impact on your bill than discounts
– Look for bundles – combining energy, gas and internet can sometimes bring the price down. All 3 providers I’ve mentioned offer bundling discounts
As a simple rule, go for low daily charges + decent solar feed-in, then compare bundle savings. Hope this helps!
