How to verify ToolHund

Tool records combine manual editing with automated price checks. Only part of the catalog has a recent verified price, and sponsorship never changes the ToolHund Score. Check the evidence yourself:

  • Methodology — Score weights and what the score does not measure.
  • Live price coverage — How many tracked tools have a recent price check right now.
  • Disclosure — How ToolHund is funded: affiliate links and labeled sponsorship.
  • Trust & limits — What is automated, what is not, and what we can't guarantee.
