See what's really 'free' before you click
You search for a free PDF editor. Four results in, you've made an account, hit a paywall, and downloaded something with a watermark. ReallyFree puts a coloured dot on every search result before you click. GREEN: genuinely free. YELLOW: free with a condition, named in one word. RED: it costs money. No one can buy a green rating. It's earned. No account, no signup, no tracking. Nothing about your browsing reaches us. Free, and staying free.
ReallyFree is a browser extension that color-codes search results to indicate whether a service is genuinely free (green), free with conditions (yellow), or paid (red). It operates without tracking user data, requiring no account or signup.
Scored deterministically. Only candidates that fire a story trigger are sent to a model, so this one has no written angle.
Gaps in our data, not findings about the product. Their weight is redistributed across the 5 we did measure.
A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
