Track any meter: gas, electricity, water and more. See what you're really spending, and know your next bill before it arrives. Enter your meter readings whenever suits you, add your tariff, and Dazzlee Meters works out your usage, costs and bills. • Bills – see each bill on your supplier's billing date, with its usage and cost, including the one you're running up now. • Graphs – usage and cost per day across the year, with each bill's average marked, so changes stand out. • Summary – today, this week, this month and this year, with totals, daily averages and costs. • Real tariffs – standing charges and up to 3 price tiers, per day, week, month, quarter or year. • Price changes – add a new price when your supplier changes it, and all your history stays correctly costed. • Any number of properties and meters, in kWh, m³, ft³ and more. • Generation meters – track income from solar panels, we do. • CO₂ – see the CO₂ from your usage, and the CO₂ saved by your solar panels, for each meter and property. • Quick entry – add readings for all your meters from one screen, as often or as rarely as you like. Your data stays on your phone. No account needed. Dazzlee Meters is free with ads. A one-off in-app purchase removes them.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Meter Usage at none against Dazzlee Meters's shown. Meter Usage also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). Dazzlee Meters's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
