Was That Price Just for You? Run a Session Audit

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: no general federal ban on personalised pricing. One state requires a point-of-sale disclosure when algorithmic pricing uses personal data, 35+ states have pricing bills pending, and the Federal Register plus your state legislature are the authoritative check.

Automated decision this documents: algorithmic pricing that uses personal or device data

Free path, in order (no cost):

  1. FTC consumer alerts and reports on surveillance pricing
  2. Your state attorney general's consumer protection division
  3. Consumer Reports or a consumer advocacy organisation that tracks pricing complaints

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.
