Why this exists
Most calculators are marketing dressed as math.
Vendor calculators undercount their own fees. AI-generated tool sites copy numbers without showing when they were checked. We read the primary pricing pages, model the edge cases, and publish the result with sources and verification dates visible.
Each dataset has its own review cadence. If a comparison favors a competitor of ours, we say so anyway.
Verification dates shown
Every calculator states when its underlying rates were last checked. Faster-moving datasets are reviewed more often.
Sources cited inline
Every fee, rate, or percentage links to the vendor's own pricing page. If we can't cite it, we don't publish it.
Affiliate-honest
Some links are affiliate. We mark them clearly and never let them re-rank the comparison. Our reputation > one signup.
Built by operators
We run real cross-border ecommerce ops. The math is what we use ourselves before we ship it to you.
Every pricing change, logged.
We record meaningful pricing, methodology, and calculator changes so you can see what moved and when the underlying data was checked.
