CLEVER PICKS. BETTER BUYS.
FREE BUYER TOOL / 001

Know the true cost.
Not just the sticker price.

Compare up to five products using the price you pay today, recurring subscription fees, and estimated annual upkeep. This tool uses only your inputs: no invented ratings, no hidden scoring.

Product namePurchase price ($)Monthly subscription ($)Annual upkeep ($)3-year total

What this calculation includes

Total cost = purchase price + (monthly fee × 12 × years) + (annual upkeep × years). Enter estimated costs for batteries, filters, cloud storage, consumables or servicing. This simple model excludes sales taxes, financing, resale value, inflation, utility use, and replacement unless you account for them in the inputs.

Lower cost doesn't always mean better value. Before choosing, compare performance, warranty, reliability, privacy, compatibility, installation, and the features you actually need. For security cameras, consider whether footage requires a subscription and what happens during an internet outage.
