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: 35+ states have live algorithmic-pricing bills, at least one disclosure requirement is in force, and federal enforcement priorities are shifting — re-check every 30 days while you are complaining.

Automated decision this documents: state and local algorithmic-pricing rules

Free path, in order (no cost):

  1. The Federal Register and your state legislature's bill tracker (free, authoritative)
  2. Your state attorney general's consumer division
  3. State or local consumer advocacy groups that track pricing legislation

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.

BASIS / NOT A VERDICT

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.
