Frequently Asked Questions

Can I really save that much money?

Yes! Our users save an average of $4,800/year by choosing the right tool, avoiding hidden fees, and staying on appropriate plan tiers. Some teams save $10K+/year.

How accurate are your cost estimates?

We use a 5-layer accuracy system. MVP launches with 85% accuracy (manual research + scraping). Over time, user bill submissions and API integrations push accuracy to 98%.

Do you have affiliate relationships with these tools?

Yes, we earn commissions from some tools (Make 30%, Webflow 50%). However, our cost data is objective — we show true costs even for tools we don't earn from (Zapier, Airtable, Notion have no public affiliate programs).

Can I cancel anytime?

Absolutely. No contracts, no penalties. Cancel with one click.
