Reading the site

We use Vercel Web Analytics to count page views. It does not use cookies and does not track you across sites. The site does not set cookies of its own.

We also use Google Analytics 4 to see which pages are useful. Until you press Accept on the banner, it is set to "denied": it does not read or write analytics cookies. When a visitor declines, Google may still receive cookieless pings and use them for modeling, as Google describes in its own documentation. If you accept, Google Analytics sets cookies and receives your page views, approximate location and device details, and Google's privacy policy applies. We have turned off ad personalisation and ad storage. Your choice is remembered in your browser (local storage) and you can clear it to be asked again.

Reporting a switch

When you report that you replaced one tool with another, we store: the two tool names, the reason you chose if you chose one, the time, and a one-way salted hash made from your IP address and browser type. We use the hash only to stop the same device reporting the same switch repeatedly and to limit how many reports one device can send in an hour. We do not store your IP address, your name or your email, and there is no account.

After a report you can add, if you want to, what you paid before and what you pay now (in US dollars a month) and a short note of up to 200 characters about what you gave up. Please do not put personal details in the note. Links are refused. We store these with the same report, and the same hash links them to nothing else.

Reports are shown as raw counts, and amounts only as a median once at least three people have given them for the same switch. A note is read by me first and shown only if I approve it, as one person's view with no name. None of it changes the order of anything on the site. If you name a tool we do not list, the name is kept so we can consider adding it. You can ask for a report or note to be removed (see below).

Saying you use a tool

When you tap "I use this" on a tool, we store the tool, the time and the same kind of salted hash as above, which stops the same device counting twice for the same tool and limits how many taps one device can make in an hour. The total for each tool is shown as a raw count. It never changes the order of anything on the site. Your browser also remembers which buttons you pressed (in local storage) so the button shows the right state.

Suggestions and corrections

When you suggest a tool or report a wrong price, we store what you write (the tool, the link, your note), the credit name if you give one, the time, and the same kind of salted hash as above, used only to limit how many you can send an hour. If you give a credit name or handle we thank you with it on the change history when a fix is made or a tool is added. Please do not put personal details in the text.

The bot check

The forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to tell people from bots. The Turnstile script is loaded only when you open or scroll to a form, not when you load a page. It usually runs without showing anything; if Cloudflare is unsure it asks you to tick a box. Cloudflare's own privacy policy applies to that check.
