Ha, I spent a few years around 2015 building exactly this for the first 50 or so largest US utilities on what eventually became https://www.arcadia.com/arc. Curious how you plan to compete. Good luck with the insane number of account edge cases that start popping up at scale and extremely finicky utility sites for scraping, it gets old fast.

We're excited for the challenge!

Arc was released after we'd already been working on this for a while so it did take us a bit by surprise. We'll compete by focusing on building an amazing team and a high quality product.

What's the pricing for arc?
Arcadia requires their customers to sign NDAs and locks them into yearlong contracts, so we don't have an accurate picture. However, we've been told that our pricing is more competitive than theirs.
Whatever the customer is willing to pay, of course :)
