Frequently Asked Questions

How does ideology scoring work?

Each product is evaluated on 7 criteria: anti-planned-obsolescence, durability/repairability, ownership over subscriptions, decentralization, open standards, low recurring costs, and resilience. Scores range from 0-100, with detailed reasoning for each recommendation.

Do you use affiliate links?

No. We provide direct product links without affiliate tracking. Our recommendations are unbiased and based solely on ideology alignment, not commission potential.

What data do you store?

We don't store your search queries by default. We only store anonymous daily usage counts (for rate limiting) and webhook event IDs (for idempotency). No prompt storage, no tracking.

How do I cancel my subscription?

You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime from the subscription management page. When cancelled, you'll return to the free tier (1 search per day).
