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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base | $187.5/month | 4 | Entry tier |
| Professional | $373.5/month | 6 | +$186/month, 4 more features |
| Expert | $568.5/month | 6 | +$195/month, 1 more feature |
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.
Base
$187.5/monthThe entry tier. It covers no modules included; add individually, basic support, software updates, simulate thousands of configurations with 1-minute to 1-hour time steps.

- Any 4 modules included (Biomass Generation, Run of River Hydro, Advanced Grid, Advanced Load, etc.)
- 6-hour instructor-led training
- HOMER Optimizer algorithm for least-cost microgrid configurations
- Sensitivity analysis for variable impacts
Expert
$568.5/monthOver Professional, this tier adds:
- All modules included: Biomass, Hydro, Hydrogen, Advanced Grid/Load/Storage, Combined Heat & Power, Multi-Year, MATLAB Link

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.
How that compares in Energy
Too few energy tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the HOMER Energy badges page.
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 $187.5/month and $568.5/month, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare HOMER Energy against the tools that do have one before committing.
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, and the rest of the category is under best energy tools.
HOMER Energy pricing questions
- How much does HOMER Energy cost?
- HOMER Energy publishes 3 tiers, from $187.5/month for Base up to $568.5/month for Expert. The cheapest paid tier is $187.5/month.
- Does HOMER Energy have a free plan?
- Not on the record we hold: HOMER Energy is listed as subscription. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.
- What is the difference between Base and Professional on HOMER Energy?
- Professional costs $373.5/month against $187.5/month, and adds any 4 modules included (biomass generation, run of river hydro, advanced grid, advanced load, etc.), 6-hour instructor-led training, homer optimizer algorithm for least-cost microgrid configurations, sensitivity analysis for variable impacts.
- Is the Expert plan on HOMER Energy worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is all modules included: biomass, hydro, hydrogen, advanced grid/load/storage, combined heat & power, multi-year, matlab link. It costs $568.5/month against $187.5/month for Base. 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: other, 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?
- The closest energy tools in this directory are Emerson Ovation, Novity, Bently Nevada System 1, Cutsforth InsightCM. Each has a side-by-side comparison with HOMER Energy covering price, platforms and features.
