Frequently avoided
questions.

This is a beta with a small curated catalog. Repository indexing and reviewed recommendations are separate. Some projects have no suitable match; others await research. You can request coverage or submit official evidence through Contribute. Every lead is reviewed before publication. Even our invoices require paperwork.

We believe your time is valuable. Verified unit prices sort highest first within each currency, unit, period and billing cycle. Configurations still differ, and a component is not a complete bill. Quotes and usage models remain separate. Even we have standards.

Recognizing the problem is often the hardest step. Take your time. Your budget isn’t going anywhere, which is precisely our concern.

Search now uses an actual repository index and a small researched catalog. Product classifications are scoped research judgments with official evidence. Price observations have sources, configurations and review dates; they are not live quotes. Pending product classifications and unverified amounts are withheld. No affiliation or endorsement is implied.

We appreciate your curiosity and have forwarded it to the appropriate department. The department has reluctantly confirmed: yes. This entire project is open source under the MIT license. Frontend, backend, and original assets included. The contradiction is a core feature.

It means more expensive. We have been remarkably consistent about this. Price ranking is a joke, not a quality score or purchasing recommendation.

Search terms appear in the address bar and are sent to our API. The application does not store search history or add analytics; hosting and proxy logs depend on deployment configuration. Contribution drafts stay in your browser until you copy, download or submit them yourself on GitHub. Your language preference is saved locally. We are deeply disappointed by this missed monetization opportunity.

No. We provide this service completely free of charge. Please allow us some privacy during this difficult admission.
