LIMIT FIRST: This is a record-keeping and comparison aid, not legal or financial advice. It cannot prove that a price was personalised, and it does not know what a company's pricing model does internally.

Cost and free path

Cost: Free: one complete run in this browser, no account. Optional $4 one-time unlock allows unlimited runs of this tool on this browser. The free path and safety guidance never require payment.

Rule status (mixed route): Status, 2026-10-03: disclosure duties are state-level and uneven; the FTC's pricing guidance is the current federal reference, and state attorneys general have opened surveillance-pricing inquiries.

Automated decision this documents: undisclosed algorithmic price individualisation

Free path, in order (no cost):

  1. USA.gov's complaint finder to locate the right regulator for retail pricing
  2. Your state attorney general's consumer protection division
  3. FTC consumer alerts for the current legal position on personalised pricing

What this cannot do: It cannot prove that a price was personalised, and it does not know what a company's pricing model does internally.

This tool reduces uncertainty; it does not replace a bank's fraud department, a mental-health professional, legal advice, a school privacy contact, or qualified technical help, and it cannot prove that a call, message, account, decision, or AI system is safe.
