The shelf is the market
What a part costs is what it sells for, where it can actually be bought. List prices and press releases are opinions about that.
Company
Pricify builds and maintains a pricing and supply dataset for the components that set the cost of computing: graphics cards, processors, memory, storage and power supplies.
Why
Components used to get cheaper on a schedule. That stopped being true. Graphics cards sell above their launch price long after launch, memory and storage swing with supply, and a part can be on every shelf one month and on none the next.
The people who build, sell and buy hardware make decisions on that market every day, mostly with quotes, list prices and anecdotes. The facts exist: they are on retailers' shelves and listings, changing by the hour. They were not being kept as one clean record.
That record is what Pricify is.
What we believe
What a part costs is what it sells for, where it can actually be bought. List prices and press releases are opinions about that.
A wrong price is worse than a missing one. We would rather show less and be right.
The same observations run consumer trackers that buyers check before they spend money. Errors don't survive long in front of them.
A module that is in development is labelled in development. You should never have to discover that in a contract.
Public network
Pricify runs a family of consumer price trackers on the same observations. They are free for buyers, and they are where the data is tested every day by people about to spend their own money.
Customers, design partners for the modules we are building, and people who want to argue about a definition are all welcome.
