What this has cost, week by week

Output price at each refresh since 2026-10-08. A vendor change is the provider changing its price. Our correction means this board changed what it prints and the provider's charge did not move — the two are never merged, because publishing the second as the first would be a price rise that never happened.

Nothing has moved since we started tracking it.
