Our Take on Rhythm Energy
Rhythm Energy is a Texas-based electricity provider founded in 2021. The company initially entered the Texas Market through a partial purchase of Entrust Energy's residential customer book, after the 2021 Uri storm. Rhythm announced the purchased Inspire Energy's remaining assets from Shell Energy in March 2025.
Rhythm has a lot of bells and whistles and deserves consideration when considering a new provider. Why? Flat rate plans - we LOVE flat rate plans. Use 200 kwH or 2000 kWh you pay the same rate. Rhythm also has a ton of options that we like: Plans for EV Charging, Thermostat Plans, 100% Green Energy. All good Stuff.
Rhythm has a pretty good reputation. Google reviews, at 4.7 and the Texas PUC ranks them at 2 Stars (ooof!) and Rhythm has been beaten up on our site wh9ich you should discount . . . because we have a very small sample of reviews. Are they worth taking a look at? YES. Do we recommend? YES.
We currently have a just a few reviews for Rhythm Energy. Most likely because people are happy with them. We have 2 Five-Star reviews and 7 One-Star reviews - and when you dig in you find that these one-star reviews are outliers. Moreover they are from 2021-22 when Rhythm was just getting started. More recent Google Reviews reflect a growing company that's doing a bunch of things right.

Rhythm Plan Analysis
Simply Select 24
Our Rating:
Plan Term: 24 Months
Plan Type: Fixed Rate
Like the rest of Rhythm's "simply" plans, this one is solid. It has similar kWh rates across the different usage thresholds, which means no big bill shock if a customer uses 800 kWn one month and 1200 kWh the next month. The Energy Charge is also pretty competitive, and the overall bills for customers should be pretty low. Of course, Rhythm often requires customers to have excellent credit, so qualifying without a deposit might be difficult.

It has similar kWh rates across the different usage thresholds, which means there won't be big bill shock if a customer uses 900 kWn one month and 1100 kWh the next month. The Energy Charge is also pretty competitive, and the overall bills for customers should be pretty low.

On it's face, this is a good plan. It has similar kWh rates across the different usage thresholds, which means there won't be big bill shock if a customer uses 800 kWn one month and 1200 kWh the next month. The Energy Charge is also pretty competitive, and the overall bills for customers should be pretty low. Of course, Rhythm often requires customers to have excellent credit, so qualifying without a deposit might be difficult. Also, customers ordering this plan in the winter or spring will expire in the summer heat, so keep the time of the year in mind.
