The fair version

When each one makes sense.

Skip Genie makes sense if…

you run about 100 searches a month, so the plan covers them, or you rely on its relative searches and its weekly coaching call.

Tracer makes sense if…

you trace lists in the thousands, don't want a monthly bill, or want a balance that doesn't disappear when you pause.
