HOMER Energy plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| HOMER Grid | Free | 4 | Entry tier |
| HOMER Pro | $1500/year | 5 | +$1500/year, 5 more features |
| Enterprise | On request | 5 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring HOMER Energy in for sizing and optimising off-grid and microgrid systems, modelling the economics of solar, wind and battery combinations, electric bill optimisation for grid-connected sites and ev charging, utility-scale storage investment analysis, comparing least-cost configurations against load and resource data. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to HOMER Energy are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for HOMER Energy
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and On request, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
HOMER Energy runs on windows, web, and is published by HOMER Energy LLC of Boulder, CO. The full record is on the HOMER Energy review.
HOMER Energy pricing questions
- How much does HOMER Energy cost?
- HOMER Energy publishes 3 tiers, from Free for HOMER Grid up to On request for Enterprise. The entry tier costs nothing.
- Does HOMER Energy have a free plan?
- Yes. The HOMER Grid tier costs nothing and covers grid-connected optimization, basic components, limited simulations. Paying starts at $1500/year for HOMER Pro.
- What is the difference between HOMER Grid and HOMER Pro on HOMER Energy?
- HOMER Pro costs $1500/year against Free, and adds advanced optimization, all components, unlimited simulations, sensitivity analysis.
- Is the Enterprise plan on HOMER Energy worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is multi-user licenses, api access, custom modules, training. It costs On request against $1500/year for HOMER Pro. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- What am I actually paying for with HOMER Energy?
- The record lists 22 features across 6 areas: core, integrations, security, deployment, platform, localization. In practice it is brought in for sizing and optimising off-grid and microgrid systems, modelling the economics of solar, wind and battery combinations, electric bill optimisation for grid-connected sites and ev charging.
- Does HOMER Energy charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 3 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these HOMER Energy prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare HOMER Energy against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to HOMER Energy to make a useful price comparison.
