How FairBuyAI earns your trust.
We would rather be honest about what we know than impressive about what we don't. This page explains exactly how the platform works, what data shapes a FairBuy Score, and the limits we try to be upfront about.
How FairBuyAI works
You paste a link, price, quote or renewal. We extract what we can about the offer, compare it against typical market signals, and return a FairBuy Score with plain-English reasoning. Nothing is stored unless you save it.
How FairBuy Scores are created
Scores blend price fairness, value, retailer and provider trust signals, scam and risk indicators, fake-discount cues and negotiation opportunity. Each factor is weighted and shown to you on the results page so you can see what drove the number.
What data we use
Public information from the page or text you share, plus our own market reference signals for the relevant category. We do not pull from your accounts, browsing history or anyone else's checks.
What data may be limited
Live retail prices change constantly, niche products have thin comparable data, and some pages hide key details behind logins. Where this matters, we lower the confidence level instead of guessing.
How confidence levels work
Every result shows an overall confidence and, where useful, a breakdown across pricing, trust, scam-risk and market comparison. High means we have strong corroborating data, Low means treat the result as a directional opinion only.
How recommendations are generated
The recommendation is one of Buy, Wait, Negotiate or Avoid. It is derived from the score band, the warning signals we found and the negotiation opportunity. We never base it on who pays us — nobody does.
How you stay in control
You decide what to check, whether to save it, and whether to act on the result. We do not auto-buy, auto-renew or share your check with sellers.
How we protect trust
We do not take affiliate fees that influence scores. If we ever introduce labelled commercial links, they will not change a FairBuy Score and they will be clearly marked.
How FairBuyAI is funded
Our preferred model is subscription-led. The user is the customer. That keeps the incentive aligned with showing you the truth, even when the truth is 'wait' or 'avoid'.
What we can and cannot guarantee
We can analyse, flag, explain and suggest. We cannot guarantee live price accuracy, guarantee savings, confirm every scam, replace professional advice, or provide regulated financial or legal advice.
