How the data is kept honest
Every record lists the vendor pages we read and the date we read them. Prices are copied as published, in the published currency, with the billing period. We don't convert currencies or average them.
Labels like "good for" are our editorial judgment and are marked as such. Nobody pays to be listed or ranked. Spot something out of date? Email info@datamodelingtools.com with the source. Read the method.
