Groceries cost what they cost. Gas doesn't take calls. But cable, internet, and phone bills have give in them, and he finds it in minutes. Free, whether or not you ever hire him.
No card. No account. No obligation. Never sold, ever.
Questions first? Ask Tess in the chat window.
This is what padding looks like. Three line items, none of which you agreed to, all of which he can smell from across the room.
That's one bill. Yours takes him minutes. Send it →
Everything in the budget went up this year, and most of it you can't do anything about. Groceries cost what they cost. Rent and insurance don't take calls. You pay what it says.
These bills are different. They're negotiable, and the people who set your rate are counting on you not knowing that. Inside the industry they call it the loyalty tax: the longer you stay, the more you pay, priced on the bet that you're too busy to sit on hold for 45 minutes and fight about it.
The rate you signed up for was never the real rate. The real one shows up in month 13, no call, no email. Average jump: $25/month. That's $300 a year for staying.
That $15/month "equipment fee" is a $60 modem you've now bought six times over. They'll charge it forever, because forever is the plan.
"Broadcast TV fee." "Regional sports fee." Line items built to sound official so you don't ask. Ask anyway. They're negotiable, and the provider knows it.
Add it up and the average household is quietly overpaying $30 to $60 a month. Billhound finds your number in one free look. Send the bill and see.
Snap a photo, text it or send it below. Cable, internet, wireless, home security, medical, dental, any bill that's bugging you, monthly or one-time. That's the whole job on your end. You'll hear back in about 30 seconds that he's on it, and the findings follow fast.
Every line, read. What stands out, what it's realistically worth, and a straight answer if the bill is clean. Ranges, not promises.
He texts or emails the findings. What's padded, what it's worth, and what you can say to the provider. What you do with it is entirely up to you.
After the analysis, there are two ways to go. Both are fine with him.
Free, full stop. You get what stands out on your bill and what it's realistically worth. You make the call, you keep everything you win. No fee, no authorization, no catch. A lot of people do exactly this.
He takes the fight to the provider: the hold music, the retention department, the "let me transfer you." You sign a one-page authorization covering only that bill, and he goes to work. His fee is 45% of verified savings for the first 12 months, taken out of the savings each month. You keep 55% of every win, every month, and you're never out of pocket. If he wins nothing, you pay nothing.
The analysis is free no matter what. Fees only exist if you hire him, and they only come out of money he actually wins, after it's verified on your real bill:
The final fee follows what's verified, not the estimate. If the win comes in smaller, his cut shrinks with it. If there's no win, there's no fee. Some services charge less because they do less. He signs real authorizations, sends real letters, and doesn't bill a cent until the savings show up on your actual bill.
If you go the DIY route, everything you need to make the call yourself is included or offered as a small optional add-on. Nothing is ever required beyond the free look.
And none of this applies until you've seen your free analysis and chosen. Step one costs nothing. Get the free look →
Yes, with no obligation attached. He analyzes the bill, shows you what stands out and the realistic range, and you can walk away with it. The free analysis is the front door, not a trap. He'd rather be the guy who told you the truth about your bill than the guy who held it hostage.
Almost nobody, and that's by design. Your bill travels over a secure connection and gets analyzed right here in the U.S. It's not emailed around an office or shipped to an offshore processing center the way some bill services do it. No prying eyes, no reselling, no marketing lists. The account number on it is useless to us and we treat it that way. And if you want it deleted after your analysis, just ask, text or email, and it's done.
Some people take the findings and make the call themselves. Some look at 45 minutes of hold music and hand it to him. Both happen every day, and both are fine. The free analysis is how you find out which one you are.
You sign a one-page authorization that lets him deal with your provider on your behalf. Same thing a lawyer or a family member would use. You e-sign it from your phone in about a minute, and it only covers the bill you sent.
Not if you hire him. That's the point of him. He handles the hold music, the retention department, the "let me transfer you." You get a text when it's done.
Not unless you say yes first. His first move is always the same service at a lower price. If a better deal means a change, he brings it to you and you decide. Nothing moves without your go-ahead.
Then the analysis says so plainly, you've spent nothing, and you know your bill is clean. That answer has value too. If you hired him and the negotiation wins nothing, you pay nothing.
The bill that jumped recently is the best place to start. Send it now. He'll come back in minutes with what's padded and what it's worth. Worst case: your bill is clean and you know it.
He'll text you a reminder. Reply to that text with a photo and you're done.
