About Judy Saves

Judy Saves checks electric and gas bills and watches energy prices for households. It tells you, in plain words, when you could pay less.

Who runs Judy Saves

Matthew Crowley

Dr. Matthew Crowley

Associate Professor of Computer Science, Cuyahoga Community College

Judy Saves is run by Dr. Matthew Crowley, an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland. His work focuses on cybersecurity: how people get tricked, and how to keep them safe. Judy Saves puts that to work on energy bills. It watches for the door-to-door pitches, teaser rates and supplier charges that quietly cost families money.

Before teaching, Matt was the Chief Information Officer for Philadelphia International and Cleveland Hopkins International Airports, and an engineer on Microsoft's Internet Explorer team. He wrote Pro Internet Explorer 8 & 9 Development (Apress) and leads research funded by the National Science Foundation, the National Information Technology Innovation Center and other organizations.

He built Judy Saves so anyone, especially older neighbors and the family members who help them, can see in plain words whether they're paying more than they need to for electricity and gas.

Who is Judy?

Judy is our cartoon guide. She is not a real person. Our prices are gathered from each state's official sources and checked by the Judy Saves team.

How we get our prices

We work for you

Judy Saves is independent. We don’t work for any electric or gas company. Judy Saves is not an electric company. We never call, never knock, never sell your name.

How Judy Saves is paid for

The free check costs nothing. Members pay $1.99 a month or $19.99 a year to see the plan’s name, get an email when they could pay less and get a weekly summary. Members’ payments are how Judy Saves is paid for. No electric or gas company pays us to list or rank a plan.
