Three plans, and one thing that is in all of them.
What cannot be told by looking is on every plan, including the free one, in full and never behind a watermark. Putting that behind a paywall would be selling silence.
Before anything else
- All prices are in US dollars (USD) and include VAT at 20%. The price shown is the price taken.
- Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel. You are told before each renewal.
- Cancelling is one action on your billing page. No offer, no survey, no call.
- No top-up packs and no wallet. Allowance is not money and cannot be cashed in.

What you pay for, and what is never charged for.
Free, always
The family a cable narrows to. The complete list of what cannot be told by looking at it. The safety wording, in full and never obscured.
Knowing which family it is halves the problem. Knowing what you cannot find out stops you acting on a guess. Neither of those is worth charging for.
What a plan adds
The full order of looking, what each step rules out, the differences within the family, and the printable where-to-look cards.
Turning a cable over and finding the small symbol beside the contacts is the step that actually settles something — having it or not having it makes two different cables. The cards are the only thing you can hold in one hand while holding the cable in the other.
The uncertainty itself is the uncomfortable part. A drawer of cables nobody dares throw away is that uncertainty in physical form. That is what a plan is for — not more information, but fewer things left open.
What allowance is, exactly.
What each action uses
- A question answered1
- Narrowing to a family2
- Same-ends card and where-to-look cards5
And what it is not
- Not money.
- Not stored value, and not a payment instrument.
- Cannot be redeemed for cash, and has no cash value.
- Non-transferable — it cannot be sold, given away or moved.
- Does not roll over. It belongs to the period it was issued for.
- There are no top-up packs and no wallet.
Everything you are agreeing to, on one screen.
This is what the checkout shows immediately beside the payment button — not on a page you have to go and find.
Start on Free. You do not need an account to try it.
Describe the two ends and you will get the family and the full list of what cannot be told by looking, straight away, without paying and without signing up.
