Pay less. Find better tools. See what you give up before you switch.

Free to explore. Search the whole site, see dated price evidence and understand the trade-offs before you switch.
Works from what you already pay for, and what is trending
Most things you pay for have a free route. What matters is what you give up, and whether anyone has checked.
Find a better route
Stash and Circuit make the first decision easier.
Four things we do
Saving money is the start. The rest is what is worth knowing about now.

Find better tools
Every stamped tool comes with proof from our own test run.
- Verdict and what you lose, stated plainly
- Maker's own page, every time
Save time
Step-by-step guides built from each provider's own help pages, with the minutes it takes.
- Honest time estimates
- An undo step for every switch
How it works
From a bill you want smaller to a switch you can undo.
- Tell us what you pay for
Search a tool or tick it in the checker. Nothing to sign up for.
- See the swap and the price we read
Each card shows the price with the date and page we read it from. If we have not read a price, it says so.
- Check what you give up
Every swap lists what you keep, what you lose and how to undo it.
- Switch when you are ready
Where we have a guide, it comes with the time it takes. Keep the old plan until you are happy.

What you can rely on
And what we will not claim.
We show our sources
Prices carry the date and the page they came from. Where we could not read one, the card says "price not verified yet".
"Tested" means a narrow thing
The tick means the free tool installed and started in a sealed test box with the internet switched off. It does not mean we judged how good it is, or that it works on your computer.
Nobody pays to be listed
We do not take payment to recommend a tool.
Warnings come with a reason
If a tool has a use-terms question, is only a research paper, or copies a paid product, the card says which and why. You decide.
Questions
Is this live?
No. Yes. Free tools, resources and News are live. The member experience shown here is a concept; paid access is not active.
Does it cost anything?
Looking things up is free. Paid plans for members are planned and not priced.
Why do some cards show a price in dollars?
We show the price as the seller states it, with its billing basis and the date we read it. We do not convert, so you never see a made-up pound figure.
Will the free tool work on my computer?
We do not know. Our checks ran in a Linux test box. Check the maker's page for your system.
Is this financial advice?
No. It is a software cost review.
