Tools — built on the record

The toolbench

Every tool here runs on the same daily record as the comparisons — which is why they can answer questions marketing pages won’t. The first is in build now.

LIVE · True-cost calculator → Your list size in, real cost out: promo expiries counted (Mailchimp’s headline price doubles at month 13), send-cap overage risk flagged, annual-billing maths done. Live now for the compiled vendors; more join as their plan tables are verified.

Queued · “Was it cheaper when you signed up?” A tool plus a date → the recorded price then, next to the price now. Possible only because the log is append-only.

Queued · Promo-trap index. Vendors ranked by the gap between the advertised promo and the real renewal price.

Want one of these sooner, or want a different question answered from the record? Tell us — the queue bends toward what people actually ask for.
