Common questions

Is it free?

Yes. The core tool and its standard result or export are free to use.

Do I need an account?

No for the core utility. An account or private management token is requested only for capabilities that must persist, such as editable dynamic QR links.

Can I trust the result?

The method and assumptions are visible above. Time-sensitive tools name their sources and freshness; important financial, safety, legal, or operational decisions should be verified with the primary authority.
