EnergyElephant vs Verdigris

EnergyElephant helps organizations manage energy, waste, water, and carbon data for sustainability, cost control, and compliance. It gathers information from smart meters and sensors, supplier portals, business intelligence systems, and APIs. Automated bill processing checks for anomalies, flags estimated bills, and validates bills against local regulatory and tax data. Carbon reporting covers Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, with methods including the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, Net Zero, CDP, GRESB, and TCFD. Users can track energy performance, set targets for significant energy users, and identify savings opportunities across meters and assets. Cost tools cover unit rates, procurement, spend projections, and budget analysis across energy, waste, water, and transport. Its iOS and Android app lets users photograph and submit electricity, gas, or water meter readings linked to their accounts. A 14-day trial provides access to all features. Plans include onboarding and switching support; pricing depends on meter or data-point count rather than regions. Listed options start with Large at $7.30 a month, with a 300-point minimum.

Verdigris is a cloud-first platform for electrical intelligence and real-time energy monitoring in data centers, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities. Its Smart Current Transformers track energy at building, equipment, or phase level, with analysis at the edge. Cloud software presents energy use, demand peaks, forecasts, power quality, and end-use information, including watts, voltage, current, and power factor. The company says granular readings can help data centers identify stranded capacity and manage AI workload growth. Adaptive Automation uses energy, weather, and building signals to forecast usage and adjust HVAC operation for efficiency and peak demand management. Building management systems can connect through BACnet/IP and Modbus/TCP. The API provides property and asset details with time-series measurements; users can export app data as CSV. A mobile app supports installation tasks, and the cloud service is accessible through a web browser without software installation. Verdigris says customer energy data is available only to authorized customer accounts and is not shared without consent. It announced completion of a SOC 2 Type II compliance audit in 2024. Pricing is on request; product pages invite prospective customers to request a demo.
