02The 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.
