Corrections
Every price, model name, quota, and licensing term on this site can go wrong in one of two ways: we published an error, or the fact was right and the vendor later changed it. This page is the standing policy for both.
Updated August 2026 · The status statements on this page — what is running and which contact channels exist — are accurate as of August 11, 2026.
The policy in three lines:
- Anything wrong — a factual error, a stale price, a changed term — is corrected in the page text itself, and every meaningful correction leaves a short, dated note on the affected page.
- A displayed “updated” date changes only when something meaningful actually changed, never to look fresh.
- A public channel for reporting errors will be published. None is live yet.
What counts as a correction
Three situations trigger this policy. All three end the same way: the page text is fixed against the current official source, and the fix is disclosed.
| Type | What happened | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| Factual error | The page states something the official source never supported — a wrong price, model name, quota, feature, or licensing claim. | The claim is corrected in place against the official source and a dated note records what was wrong. |
| Stale price | A price was correct on its stated verification date, but the vendor has since changed it. | The figure is re-read from the official pricing page; the number and its verification date are updated, with a dated note where the change is meaningful. |
| Changed terms | Licensing, commercial-use, or free-tier terms changed after publication. | The affected statements are rewritten against the current official terms, with the new verification date and a dated note. |
What does not trigger a correction note: typo fixes, wording changes, and layout changes that alter no factual claim. Those ship silently, and they never move a displayed “updated” date.
How corrections appear on a page
Corrections are made in the page itself, not on a separate list. Concretely:
- Fixed in place. The wrong fact is replaced with the verified one, carrying the date it was checked against the official source.
- Dated update note. Every meaningful correction or update adds a short note on the affected page, in the format
YYYY-MM-DD — what changed, and which tables or verdicts were revised as a result. Pages whose results are materially affected by model or pricing changes keep a visible update log. - Honest dates. The displayed “updated” date changes only because of a meaningful model, price, feature, or methodology change — the one recorded in the note.
- Stable anchors. Section headings and tables keep their ids through corrections, so a link or citation pointing at a corrected section resolves to the corrected content, not to a dead anchor.
Standing re-verification schedule
Corrections do not wait for someone to notice. Two mechanisms run on top of reader reports:
- On every edit: when a page is edited for any reason, the volatile facts it carries — prices above all — are re-read from the official source before the edit ships. No figure is carried over from an earlier version unchecked.
- On a calendar: each page type is re-checked on the schedule below.
The site launched in August 2026 and is publishing its first pages. Each row applies from the day the first page of that type is live; the audio-assets row takes effect once the standardized audio benchmark is running (see the status note below).
| Page or data type | Checked |
|---|---|
| Flagship ranking pages | Monthly; re-examined on major model launches. |
| Provider reviews | Every 1–2 months; re-examined when the provider’s models materially change. |
| Pricing data | Monthly — and re-read from the official source on every edit of a page that carries it. |
| Comparison pages | When either provider changes materially. |
| Alternatives pages | Quarterly, or after a major market change. |
| Educational guides | Every 6–12 months, unless the technology moves faster. |
| Benchmark datasets | Quarterly, or on important releases. |
| Audio assets | Reused until a methodology or model change makes them stale. |
Where verification stands today
This site’s standardized audio testing system is designed but not yet running. No audio benchmark has been performed, and no page claims otherwise. Until it runs, every factual claim on the site is verified against official vendor documentation — pricing pages, terms of service, developer documentation — and carries the date it was checked. What that system is, and what changes on this site when it starts running, is described on the methodology page.
How to report an error
A public contact channel for corrections will be published. None exists yet — the site launched without an email address or contact form, and this page will be updated when one is live. Until then, corrections originate from the re-verification schedule above.
What gets published in the first place — sourcing rules and what this site will and will not claim — is governed by the editorial policy. No commercial relationship decides whether a correction is made; how the site is funded is described at how we make money.
