How Prices Are Read
Read by the index desk on
Growth service prices in this index are read, not bought. The desk opens each service's public pricing, terms and FAQ pages, copies what they state, and records the date. 40 services were read on 2026-11-15.
Which pages are read
Only public pages are read: the pricing page, the terms or refund page and the FAQ. No account is opened, nothing is ordered and no login is used.
Every read keeps its read date. Where a web archive returns a copy of the page it is linked on the price page, and the price history says when none came back. Screenshots are kept as well, so a figure can be checked against what the page showed that day. Each price page links to the page the figure came from.
What "not stated" and "not readable" mean
"Not stated" means the pages read do not say. A service that writes no refund window shows "not written" in the refund column, and one that never mentions your password shows "not stated" in the password column.
"Not readable" means the page could not be read at all. 2 services fall in that group on 2026-11-15: a page that answers with an error or a redirect gives the index nothing to copy, so every field stays empty.
How the From price is chosen
The From price is the lowest price the service displays for its own billing. For a subscription it is a monthly figure, kept with the billing length it belongs to: monthly, quarterly or yearly. For a pack it is the lowest one-time price shown.
The billing basis is stored beside every price on its price page, so a yearly rate shown per month is not mistaken for a monthly-billing price there. Each price page lists all the prices the service shows, and the From figure is the lowest of them.
Why nothing is ranked
The index lists facts and orders its table by one of them, the longest written refund window, then the lowest price. Clicking a column re-sorts it by that column.
No score, star or order of merit is attached to any service. A tag on a row marks a written refund window of two weeks or longer together with no password request, and nothing beyond that.
How corrections work
A reader or a service can report a figure that reads differently on its page. Reports go through the contact page. The desk re-reads the page, replaces the figure if it has changed, and lists the correction with its date in the next monthly issue.
