♥ The tip jar
Buy someone else a place
A connected place costs real money to run, and every tip on this page pays for one — for a household that isn’t you.
Nothing here is locked behind it, and this is the only place we ask.
Every tip pays for someone else’s connected place.
A connected home’s smart meter costs us the regulated DCC data — charged per meter,
gas and electricity separately — plus the servers and the models that turn half-hourly
readings into something readable.
A connected place costs a household from £1.50 a month while its meter is connected
(£1.50 for one meter, £2.50 for gas and electricity).
So these aren’t tiers: £2.50 buys another household one full month of a connected gas-and-electricity place, and £30 buys another household a whole year of a connected gas-and-electricity place, or 20 months of a single-meter one.

Card payment handled by Stripe — we never see your
card details. It’s a one-off; there is nothing to cancel and no subscription.
- It goes to another household, not to you. No badge you can’t otherwise get, no feature, no
queue-jump. It buys someone else a place — that’s the whole point of it.
- It doesn’t buy us either. No supplier pays us anything — we take
£0 commission on any switch — and a tip doesn’t change what the numbers
say either.
- One-off, not a subscription. Nothing recurring, nothing to cancel.
