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 poor developer experience; lack of clear documentation, difficulty in building integrations quickly, little to no support, etc. One example: we talked to a paying customer of UtilityAPI who asked for a specific feature, and UtilityAPI asked him to pay for the development costs of it.

We are software engineers by trade and know how to build a really good developer experience. We're focusing on ease-of-use from the start and will build a stellar engineering team that in turn will help us develop a higher quality product.
