And sometimes we don't have a definitive answer, or we get things wrong. But nontheless, we promise to be honest about everything.

Yes the newsletter is completely free. And no, we don't make money by selling your data (as some other free newsletter does 👀).

But feel free to shoot us an email if you have any other ideas! We're always open for suggestions.
