How we know what we know.
Every price you see has a quality grade and, when possible, a public source URL. This page spells out where the numbers come from and what re-distribution rights apply.
- verified — pulled directly from a public brand or government page
- estimated — composite of public sources + multipliers
- crowdsourced — user submissions (Phase 3)
Numbers from public corporate pages (Apple, McDonald's), national statistics (KOSIS, BLS, ONS), and World Bank ICP can be re-published with attribution. Numbeo and The Economist data are internal cross-checks only — never re-shipped via our API.
- FX rates — daily (ExchangeRate-API)
- Apple prices — monthly (apple.com scrape)
- Big Mac Index — half-yearly (Economist)
- Local statistics — quarterly (national APIs)
- Snapshots → price_history weekly
