How we keep it honest

Every price has a source

Prices come from each tool's own pricing page. We link the page and show the date we checked it.

When we can't tell, we say so

If a price wasn't readable, the card says “Not verified” and links the official site. We never guess.

Paid spots are labeled

Any paid placement says “Sponsored” in words, and never changes the order. None are running yet.

A short email, once a week

New tools and price changes, each with its date. Signup opens soon.
