How We Evaluate a Deal
A large percentage is not enough. A useful deal must be understandable, current and relevant to the person considering it.

1. Establish the real offer
We identify the exact product or plan, billing interval, eligibility rules, required code and end date. “Up to” discounts are treated differently from a discount on a named plan.
2. Compare like with like
Monthly and annual prices should not be compared without accounting for the commitment. Renewal price, user limits, usage allowances and mandatory add-ons can matter more than the first invoice.
3. Check freshness and evidence
We consider the source, synchronization time, verification time and whether the destination still shows compatible terms. Older evidence leads to a needs-verification state rather than an unqualified claim.
4. Use price history carefully
A historical low is meaningful only across observations we hold. Sparse history, changed product tiers or different currencies can make a simple comparison misleading.
5. Separate facts from placement
Featured status helps organize the site but does not change the recorded price, verification result or expiry. Affiliate compensation cannot convert an unverified offer into a verified one.
