How we handle prices
Every price comes from the vendor's official public pricing page and is stored with its source URL and the date it was checked (currently 1 October 2026). When a price can't be verified, the tools say “check current price” instead of guessing. Vendors change prices often, so always confirm on their site before you buy.
How recommendations work
Each tool uses fixed rules based only on your answers — usually “the cheapest plan that covers your volume and the features you asked for”. Affiliate commissions are not part of the rules, and where a free or non-affiliate option fits better, we say so.
Privacy
The tools run entirely in your browser. There are no accounts and no analytics or tracking scripts on this site. Your answers are only stored in the page URL (or, for the launch checklist, in your own browser's local storage). The only form is the optional email signup on the launch checklist, handled by Netlify Forms and used only for occasional update emails. The footer shows a badge image loaded from fazier.com (a product launch directory); like any image, loading it lets their server see a normal web request. It is not a script.
