Listings and accuracy
Founders are responsible for their submissions. We may edit, label, decline, unpublish, or remove listings to preserve the integrity and usefulness of the index.
Your submissions
By submitting or publishing an operating update, you confirm that you are authorized to share the information and grant permission to display its public fields. Dated snapshots may remain visible as historical records after later updates. Never submit confidential credentials or sensitive customer information.
Founder attribution
Founder profiles are optional. Each project may show the account name and portfolio, show only a submitted social handle, or remain anonymous. Handle-only projects do not link to the named RealCost portfolio, although the external social profile itself may reveal identity. Detailed stacks and costs can also make a business recognizable, so these controls are not a guarantee of complete anonymity.
Paid placements
Successful sponsor payments automatically start a campaign in the first available placement for the duration shown at checkout. RealCost does not guarantee impressions, clicks, or conversions. Placements may be removed for misleading, unsafe, unlawful, or materially changed destinations. A paid request that cannot be assigned inventory is refunded in full.
Service availability
The service is provided as-is. Data changes, evidence ages, and verification can expire. No listing promises a particular technical or business outcome.
Evidence and revisions
Owner-reported information is not independently audited. Verification applies only to the dated snapshot reviewed. A later owner update does not inherit prior verification. Material identity and destination changes may be held for moderation while the last approved version remains public.
