How prices are collected

Every price on this site links to the page it came from.

1. A script opens each vendor's public pricing page in a headless browser and saves the text.
2. Prices were then recorded together with the exact strings that prove them (for example $0.0504/h).
3. On every run the script checks those strings are still on the page. If one disappears, the row is marked needs review and an entry is added to the price-change log.
4. Where a vendor's units can't be converted without guessing (credits, "units", GB-seconds), the normalised price is left blank or flagged partly verified. We never fill gaps with estimates.
5. Pages that could not be read are listed as unverified.
