So which is cheaper, EnergyFather or TronMax?
The short answer is TronMax at 2.40 TRX. EnergyFather wants 2.86 TRX for the same 65k energy for one hour, 16 more, and nothing further down the EnergyFather and TronMax ladder reverses that.
Price is the only thing this board ranks on, and 16% is a thin margin to choose on, so the rest of this page sets out what else separates EnergyFather from TronMax without scoring either of them.
Where EnergyFather and TronMax sit on the whole board
Out of the 19 platforms quoting 65k energy for one hour in the latest scan, EnergyFather comes 11th and TronMax comes 5th. That is 6 places of the board between them, and everything in that space is a platform this page does not cover.
Both of those positions rest on prices EnergyFather and TronMax publish themselves, not on anything this board has inferred, and both move whenever any other platform changes its rate.
What the archive has on EnergyFather and TronMax
Over the 621 scans in which both quoted 65k energy for one hour, TronMax was the cheaper of the two on every single one. The lead never changed hands.
The average distance between them while both were quoting was 0.46 TRX. The widest it opened was 0.46 TRX, at 2026-10-24 02:15 UTC. Neither price moved in that window: EnergyFather held 2.86 TRX at every one of the 621 scans and TronMax held 2.40 TRX at every one of the 621 scans, which is why the gap above is the same number from end to end.
None of that is a trend. The board has been recording since 2026-09-24 02:00 UTC, every 15 minutes, and the archive behind this page is 720 hours of data so far. It is long enough to say what EnergyFather and TronMax did yesterday and too short to say what either of them usually does.
What separates EnergyFather from TronMax
The two do not sell the same ladder. EnergyFather publishes one hour prices; TronMax publishes 15 minute, one hour, one day, three day and ten day prices. In practice TronMax quotes 15 minute, one day, three day and ten day where EnergyFather does not, so 5 of the ten rows above are inferred for EnergyFather and 0 for TronMax.
Only one of the two sells a 15 minute rental. TronMax quotes it directly; EnergyFather starts at an hour, so a job that takes two minutes still costs an hour of energy there.
TronMax is the one of the two that states its order limits: a floor of 20,000 energy. EnergyFather publishes no minimum and no maximum we can read, so the size of order it will take is not something this page can tell you.
Our scraper carries a note against EnergyFather that changes how its column should be read: “EnergyFather's API documents six rental periods: one hour, and 1, 3, 7, 15 and 30 days. Ten days is not one of them. Their public price endpoint quotes the hourly rate only, and their order form shows a visitor no day option, so the hour is the one term the board can price here. We read it from the public endpoint they asked us to use, and it returns the same number an order would.” That is why the EnergyFather figure beside TronMax is the one it charges anyone walking up, not the lowest number it advertises.
Our scraper carries a note against TronMax that changes how its column should be read: “TronMax is an order book, not a shop: the buyer names the price and a seller fills it. These are the lowest prices TronMax will accept an order at - its own form rejects anything below them - so they are a floor, not a quote. Its public order list shows orders filling at exactly that floor. The rate is per day and rentals shorter than a day are billed as one, so fifteen minutes costs the same as a day at the same rate.” That is why the TronMax figure beside EnergyFather is the one it charges anyone walking up, not the lowest number it advertises.
