Methodology: numbers with receipts

The web is full of invented software prices — AI search summaries and SEO farms now fabricate figures for vendors that have never published one. During our research we documented the same fictional “$49/month” attributed to two different funeral vendors, and a comparison site listing detailed Passare tiers that exist nowhere else. Our defense is boringly strict.

The rule

A number appears on this site only if we opened a page containing it. Each figure carries its evidence class, its source (linked), and the date it was true. If we can’t verify a number, the page says unknown — and explains what we tried.

The five evidence classes

Verified · current list priceSeen on a live page (vendor site or a directory the vendor supplies), dated.
Verified · historical list priceThe vendor’s own page from an earlier year, retrieved from web archives (Internet Archive / Common Crawl), byte-verifiable, always dated. Old prices are still gold: they anchor negotiations and expose when hiding began.
An amount a customer states they paid — reviews, public filings, documented reporting.
Derived estimateArithmetic on the vendor’s own public statements (e.g., “less than an average funeral per year” × the NFDA average). Always labeled; never dressed as a quote.
UnknownNobody has published it. We say so, and list what we checked.

What we never do

No “prices typically range from…” filler. No aggregator guesses laundered into facts. No affiliate placement disguised as ranking. When a directory shows conflicting vendor-reported prices, we print both with dates instead of choosing.

Corrections

Vendors and customers: if a number here is wrong or stale, write to hello@funeralsoftwareprices.com with a verifiable source. We correct fast and log the change on the page.
