How GougeProof makes money

Today

GougeProof earns no money. It shows no ads, no lender or insurer offers and no affiliate links, and it sells nothing. The calculator is free and needs no account or signup.

What is planned

These are plans, not features, and none of them is on the site yet:

• Offers from lenders and insurers, shown beside the math. Each would be a link to one company’s own website, and we may be paid by that company when you follow it or take its offer.
• A low-priced paid tier, likely with more saved deals and a check of a dealer’s paperwork from a phone photo. Because a paid tier is likely, we do not promise that the calculator will never change. We do promise what is printed below.

If any of this starts, this page changes the same day, and the pages that show an offer will say that we may be paid.

The promises that limit it

• Every default shows where it came from and the date it was checked.
• We never sell or pass on your details.

There are no offers on GougeProof yet, so there is nothing to rank. When there are, this promise applies: Offers are never ranked by what they pay us.

No dealer can pay us either. GougeProof lists no dealers, and if it ever does, no dealer will be able to pay for a place on that list or for where it appears.
