That's a great idea! We've identified a use case with solar companies for aiding in sales...this is a great additional case.

They're listed on the bottom of our home page

Thanks for the feedback! To answer your questions: - Myself and my co-founder - Credentials aren't stored in plaintext and the encryption key isn't universally available; "peeking"…

This is also what we've encountered so far...though it's probably safe to assume at least a few providers have looser security protocols.

Thanks for the great advice! We've created more detailed responses, so hopefully there's now a clearer picture of the output for each endpoint. We've added the more implementation-…

You nailed it! First guarantee is that nobody is manually going in and poking around your account details since the process you've described happens entirely programmatically. Now,…

Here's the guide to using sandbox mode: https://pelm.readme.io/reference/sandbox-mode

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 …

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 compet…

Personal use is totally okay and we'd love to here your feedback!

We do! You can call our endpoints with a "sandbox" header to get mock data. I realize this isn't outlined in our docs--we'll fix that ASAP and I'll comment here when it's done.

Thanks for the feedback; as an early stage startup with two employees, we'll often miss things here and there, so I appreciate the callout for how we can improve our docs. While we…

That makes sense; we'll need to think more about pricing consumer differently than enterprise because we've heard that our pricing is actually quite low for enterprise. Appreciate …

UtilityAPI and other products are built by energy companies, not tech companies. We've talked to developers who've used these platforms and they consistently mention an extremely p…

It's definitely on our roadmap...when we get to it largely depends on the needs of our early customers but know that we have it in mind!

We use a secret manager on our cloud platform for key storage, manually rotate keys (for now), and store encrypted passwords on a separate db.

Ah, I meant plaintext passwords are never persisted in a db anywhere. The only time passwords are decrypted are when they are used to programmatically log in, so they're never stor…

Ah, nice! Getting all of Exelon for the cost of one would be quite awesome. We'll dig into it.

Gotcha. Makes sense to keep things simple. You're not the first person to suggest a blog for marketing purposes...seems like something we should invest in!

Would love to hear about your experience when you do so!

Ah, it's the burger menu with broken links! It shouldn't show up unless the browser window is a certain width, but we'll look into scrapping it completely.

Pelm is free up to 100 API calls and 10 active end users per month! I believe this should be enough to cover the home use case.

I did not; thanks for the heads up!

Correct, we'll have a ComEd integration soon

Thanks for the feedback—we'll have a list of utilities we support up shortly. Which links in particular are broken/where did you see that tagline? I thought we combed through prett…
