Modern web-based intelligence vs legacy desktop software. NEMreview is a long-established desktop application for NEM data analysis, used primarily by generators and trading desks. It offers deep historical data but requires expensive licensing and local installation.
Start Free Trial →NEMreview requires desktop installation, licence keys, and IT support for updates. gridIQ runs in any browser — sign up and start analysing in under a minute.
NEMreview shows you raw data and charts. gridIQ's Watt AI analyst answers questions in plain English, with 20 specialist tools covering prices, forecasts, carbon intensity, weather, and more.
NEMreview is a retrospective tool — great for analysis after the fact. gridIQ sends price spike alerts, carbon threshold warnings, and pre-dispatch notifications via email, webhook, or Slack in real time.
NEMreview licensing runs $20,000+ per year. gridIQ starts free, with Team at $349/mo and Professional at $749/mo — no procurement process, no hidden costs.
Instead of configuring complex filters and chart parameters, ask Watt a question like "What drove the price spike in SA yesterday?" and get an analyst-grade answer with supporting data.
gridIQ detects NEM events in real time, enriches them with AI analysis, and sends alerts before you need to react. NEMreview is built for after-the-fact analysis.
gridIQ covers both the NEM (NSW, VIC, SA, QLD, TAS) and WEM (WA) in a single interface. NEMreview covers NEM regions only — WA requires a separate tool.
