How

How the data stays honest

01

Edited by humans

All data lives in a JSON file in our public git repo. Every change is a PR, fully audited.

02

Verified by robots

A daily script fetches each vendor's pricing page and confirms our numbers still appear in it.

03

Flagged when stale

If a vendor changes their page and verification fails, the row gets a yellow badge and the failure reason is shown.

04

No paid placement

Vendors cannot pay to be added, removed, or re-ranked. There is no advertising. The site is funded by the operating company.
