The method, in full
This page is the contract behind every number on this site. If a comparison here ever breaks one of these rules, write to us and we will correct it — dated, on the page.
What we record
A tracker reads the public pricing page of each covered vendor once a day (05:40 UTC) and stores: the HTTP status, a content fingerprint, the prices found on the page, and — whenever anything changed — a full snapshot of the page. Observations are append-only: new facts are added, old facts are never edited or deleted.
Coverage now: 67 vendors across 8 software categories (email & marketing, SEO, VPN & security, hosting, site builders, project tools, AI), tracked daily; email & marketing since 25 August 2026, the rest since 26 August 2026. Vendors that block automated reading are recorded as unread on any page that mentions them, never guessed.
Rules we hold ourselves to
- No guessing. A page we could not read on a given day is recorded as unread. A price we could not parse is shown as “last verified” with its date — never silently shown as current.
- Source on every row. Each fact links the vendor page it came from and the date we read it.
- History is never rewritten. Corrections are appended and dated. The wrong version stays visible as struck text.
- Facts only from the vendor. Prices, plans and limits come from the vendor’s own pages. We do not copy marketing prose, and we do not republish third-party review scores.
- Staleness is shown, not hidden. Every page displays when its data was last verified. Data older than 90 days is flagged on the page.
Disclosure
Some outbound links earn us a commission if you buy. Those links are marked — with the label required in your market — and they change nothing about the data: which vendors we track, what the record says, or how comparisons read. No vendor can pay to be included, excluded, ranked, or described differently. If a vendor has no commission program, they are covered exactly the same way.
Corrections
Found an error? [email protected]. Verified corrections are published with the date and what changed, and the page keeps its history.
