Pstryk Connect Alternative: TL;DR
Pstryk is first and foremost an electricity supplier: a dynamic hourly tariff indexed to the Polish power exchange (TGE), a slick billing app, and – for Pstryk customers – the paid Pstryk Connect add-on (30 PLN/month after 3 free months) that automates EV charging and batteries, with heat pumps and PV announced.
Zerofy is a supplier-independent cloud HEMS: it works with any tariff and any supplier, connects 28 EV brands, 11 heat pump brands, inverters, batteries, and Miele appliances today, runs AI Autopilot optimization, and offers a white-label platform for installers and energy providers.
What Zerofy and Pstryk Have in Common
Cloud-Based
No hardware gateway required for either – devices connect via the cloud.
Dynamic Tariffs
Both shift consumption and battery charging to the cheapest hours.
Modern App
Both offer a consumer-friendly app with prices, consumption, and costs.
