How Course Platform Index reads vendor pages, dates every price in US dollars, says where a vendor's own pages disagree, and updates guides when plans change.

Last reviewed October 4, 2026

Prices and plan limits were last read on October 4, 2026; where a vendor's own pages disagree, the guide says so.

Evidence before recommendation

Merchant claims are attributed to the merchant. Pricing pages, help articles, terms and customer reports answer different questions and are not treated as interchangeable proof.

What earns a recommendation

A recommendation must explain likely fit, drawbacks, alternatives, current cost or terms where available, and the evidence supporting the conclusion. Commercial value alone is not enough.

How conflicts are handled

When a vendor's own pages disagree, the guide names both pages, says which figure it uses and uses the same figure on every page. Unknown information stays unknown rather than being filled with assumptions.

Corrections and updates

Changes to price, plans, limits or terms trigger review. Recommendations can change when stronger evidence appears, and material changes are rechecked before publication.
