We make the hidden time cost of money visible.
A price can tell you what leaves your account. It cannot tell you how long you worked to earn it, what the recurring cost becomes over a year, or whether today’s purchase takes money already promised to next week.

QUICK ANSWERS
Before you decide.
Should I subtract my trade-in?
Yes—but only the credit you are confident you will receive after inspection and fees.
Does this include the service plan?
No. Keep service separate unless the upgrade changes your monthly plan cost.
