Amigo Sustainable Lifestyle 3 has one of the lowest energy rates you’ll see, just 2.6¢ per kWh, on a short three-month contract. But it comes with a required $49.99 GoodBundle purchase (a setup and carbon-offset package) charged up front. Once you add that in, the real cost over three months is noticeably higher than the advertised rate.
Vault Price Predictability Score: 5/5
Our Price Predictability Score tells you how easy it is to know what you’ll pay before the bill arrives. Sustainable Lifestyle 3 earns a 5 out of 5 because its monthly pricing is simple: one fixed rate, no bill credits, no time-of-use hours. The score doesn’t account for the one-time $49.99 purchase, so read on to see how that affects your total cost.

Why the advertised rate looks lower than what you’ll pay
The Electricity Facts Label spreads the $49.99 bundle over 12 months, adding about $4.17 to each month’s example. But this is a three-month contract. If you leave when it ends, you’ll have paid the full $49.99 over just three bills.
Here’s what that looks like for a home using 1,000 kWh every month:
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| Three months of regular bills | $296.20 |
| GoodBundle purchase | $49.99 |
| Total for the contract | About $346 |
| Real monthly average | About $115 (11.5¢/kWh) |
That’s still a competitive price, but it’s not the 10.3¢ the label advertises.
Is this plan a good fit for you?
Sustainable Lifestyle 3 makes sense if:
- You need electricity for a short stretch, like a few months before a move.
- You want to wait for better rates before locking in a longer contract.
- You value the carbon-offset part of the bundle.
You might look elsewhere if:
- You’re staying longer than three months. After the contract ends, your rate will change, and you’ll need to shop again.
- You’d prefer not to pay anything up front.
What your monthly bill would look like
These are the regular monthly bills, before the one-time $49.99 purchase.
| Monthly use | Monthly bill | Average price |
|---|---|---|
| 500 kWh (small apartment, mild month) | $51.40 | 10.3¢/kWh |
| 1,000 kWh (typical Texas home) | $98.73 | 9.9¢/kWh |
| 2,000 kWh (larger home, summer) | $193.41 | 9.7¢/kWh |
Your bill has three pieces:
- Amigo’s energy charge of 2.6¢ per kWh
- Oncor’s delivery charge of about 6.87¢ per kWh
- A flat $4.06 monthly charge from Oncor
Estimates don’t include taxes, the one-time bundle purchase, optional add-ons or conditional fees.
What if you need to leave early?
Canceling before the three months are up costs $175 per meter (ESI ID). On a contract this short, that fee can easily cost more than any savings, so only sign up if you’re confident you’ll finish the term.
Fees and fine print
A few things to know:
- The bundle is required. The $49.99 GoodBundle setup and carbon-offset purchase is part of the plan, not an optional add-on.
- What “fixed” covers. Amigo’s 2.6¢ energy rate is locked for three months. Oncor’s delivery charges are passed through and can change if regulators approve an adjustment. Taxes apply.
- Not prepaid. This is a standard monthly-billed plan.
