Chatted with CS and was given that info although there is nothing on the site that says anything other than "customer must have gas and/or electric account with PSEG" - period.
Literally been searching for days and can't find one article with real metrics. All opinion articles....
I don't think you'll get hard data on this. It's all dependent on specific housing situations. From what I understand, Nest is better at the convenience factor and 'learning, and Ecobee is better for houses that may have single zones that have hot/cold spots throughout the house (hence the advantage of multiple sensors), as well as a good motion sensor.
Either way, I think both serve different needs and housing setups. They'll save people money vs. just having a set thermostat. Most also observe not a large decrease in monthly bill if they are already actively managing their thermostat vs programming or manually shutting off and on.

meh.
You don't have a gas and/or electric account with PSE&G — the company offering the rebate.
You have an account with PSEG Long Island — which is simply not the same company.
Thanks OP, picked up an ecobee 3 lite to replace my older smart si and a nest e to have just in case. I've been very happy with my ecobee but couldn't pass up the deal.

It's kind of an answer-less question. It's whichever one runs the ac less. They don't magically make your ac more efficient, so it's not like one can save energy and keep the same temperature as the other. It's up to the user to maximize efficiency with these, as much as they'd like you to think otherwise. Either of these will certainly help though with remote access and ease of scheduling. The "learning" feature is less than ideal and the auto home/away feature isn't much better.

Last month, I got a third gen Nest for $99 each and it came with a free Home Mini.
So I bought two Nests and got two Minis for $230ish after tax and free shipping.
Otherwise, this seems like basically the same deal, price-wise, just no free Mini
