# What to look at when comparing ERE providers

The lowest commission isn’t everything. Also look at payout, contract term, transparency about corrections and whether your charging data is accepted.

Comparing Providers

In short

-   When comparing ERE providers, look beyond the lowest commission to what you ultimately keep net.
-   Providers with the same commission can differ in payout frequency, contract term, transparency about corrections, and whether your charger brand and data are accepted.
-   A quarterly payout reaches you sooner than an annual round, and some providers only pay after the EREs are sold.
-   Contracts often run per calendar year, so check the notice period and watch for lock-in before you choose.

## Sources

-   Public provider terms

The range of ERE providers is growing, which makes choosing harder. A low commission looks attractive, but it doesn’t tell you everything about what you ultimately keep net.

## Look beyond the commission

The commission is the percentage the provider withholds. Important, but not the whole story. Two providers with the same commission can differ in:

-   **Payout frequency** - quarterly, annually or only after the EREs are sold.
-   **Contract term and notice period** - often per calendar year; watch for lock-in.
-   **Transparency** - how clear are corrections and the realised price?
-   **Technology** - is your charger brand and data accepted?

## Why payout matters

With a quarterly payout you receive your payment earlier than with an annual round. Some providers only pay after the EREs are sold. For your cash flow that can make a difference, even when the commission is the same.

## Our approach

We compare estimated net earnings, commission, payout, contract term and conditions across every relevant provider, based on public sources with a stated check date. Providers don’t pay for placement. View the comparison to see providers side by side.
