How to read this
- not published means the provider lists the product but shows no figure anywhere public — you have to phone a sales rep to find out. That is a pricing signal in itself, so we record it rather than guess.
- Where a provider advertises “From $X”, we record $X and say so in the note. Promotional prices are recorded with the list price in the note.
- A row marked UNREACHABLE means the provider's site returned HTTP 403 to us. We would rather show a hole than invent a number to fill it.
Spot-check any row: click its source link and compare. That is the whole point — every figure is falsifiable in about 30 seconds.
