Energy Bill Analysis

Energy Bill Analysis API for Comparison Platforms

Energy comparison requires accurate bill data to calculate savings. Fiskil's bill analysis API automatically extracts billing information, usage patterns, and tariff details from connected energy accounts.

Manual Bill Analysis Limits Comparison Accuracy

Traditional energy comparison relies on users manually entering bill data, leading to errors and abandoned comparisons.

  • Users must manually enter complex bill information

  • High error rate in data entry leads to incorrect comparisons

  • Users abandon the process due to friction

  • No visibility into actual usage patterns

  • Difficult to account for seasonal variations
