How much electricity will I consume this year? What is the difference in heating costs between winter and summer? How much water does my household use per week?

Intelligent forecasts tell you what costs you have to expect in the whole year or how long your fuel tank will last. *** Fast Meter Input With a swipe to the right in the overview you can enter a meter reading without annoying detour.

Smappee's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
