The fine print, in plain English.
Do vendors pay to be listed or ranked higher?
No. Never have, never will. Pricing here funds the reviews — not placements. The scores are identical whether or not a vendor has ever spoken to us.
What's actually free?
Every tool's 8020 Score, tier, written verdict, strengths and trade-offs, and all category leaderboards. The free tier is genuinely useful — not a teaser.
What do I get with Pro?
The dimension-level breakdown behind each score, historical data so you can see how a tool has trended, a comparison builder, and alerts when something you care about is re-scored.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Monthly plans cancel in one click and you keep access through the end of the period. No retention dark patterns.
Is there a discount for annual billing?
Two months free on any annual plan. Students and nonprofits get 50% off Pro — just reach out.
