Submitted via form by the vendor 2026-10-22 05:38 UTC (2026-10-21 22:38 PDT); editorial entry written independently from live pages on the site's Pacific working date 2026-10-21. Prices were read from three surfaces that agree: the application/ld+json Offer array on /pricing (0.00, 4.00, 39.00, 19.00, 179.00), the rendered plan cards and the limit-by-limit comparison table on the same page, and /legal/billing which restates US$4/month or US$39/year and US$19/month or US$179/year; the site's llms.txt carries the same figures. Category was reclassified from the submitted 'Writing & Productivity' to Productivity after reading the product pages - it is a gear-inventory and studio-operations app, not a writing tool. Legal pages read in full: /legal/privacy (last updated 2026-10-19, 16 sections), /legal/terms (2026-10-02, 13 sections, California governing law, liability cap of the greater of six months' fees or US$100), /legal/billing (refunds, renewals, California Automatic Renewal Law notice) and /legal/notice; all four return 200 and the Terms' reference to /legal/billing resolves. Privacy section 1 names the controller as Dylan Andersen, GearDex, 842 St Vincent, Irvine, CA 92618, matching /legal/notice and /contact. Trackers were checked on the served pages rather than assumed: Google Analytics G-BNVX42Q1BT loads with Consent Mode defaulting analytics_storage and ad_storage to denied and send_page_view false, and the policy scopes Analytics to accepted cookies, with an Accept All / Reject All banner present in the markup. Contact route: geardex.app publishes no MX (DNS returns only the SOA for the apex), so the address on every page and in the submission - geardex.help@gmail.com - is the working route, not a @geardex.app address. Domain registered 2025-06-28 with Namecheap on Vercel DNS, 16 months old at the check. The privacy policy describes iPhone and Android apps that are not shipped - /download offers Safari Add to Home Screen for iPhone, lists no Android app and carries no App Store or Play link - and that discrepancy is recorded in cons rather than treated as a blocker. Vendor usage claims (300+ photographers, 6,100+ items tracked, $722K+ managed) are unverified by us. No purchase or account was created and no checkout was exercised.

Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat is available for work or education without an additional Copilot license and supports metered pay-as-you-go agents. Microsoft 365 Copilot Business is displayed at a promotional $18/user/month, paid yearly, versus a $21 list price. Microsoft 365 Business Standard with Copilot is $23.50/user/month paid yearly, and Business Premium with Copilot is $32/user/month paid yearly. Prices are USD, annual subscriptions that auto-renew, and may vary by market.

This verification is scoped to Microsoft 365 Copilot for business, not every consumer or product-specific service branded Copilot. Microsoft 365 Copilot works in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, Loop, and other Microsoft 365 surfaces; it uses Microsoft Graph data the user is permitted to access and includes Copilot Chat, Copilot Search, agents, and app-specific drafting, summarization, analysis, and meeting capabilities. Prompts, responses, and Microsoft Graph data are not used to train foundation LLMs. Interaction content is stored under the customer's Microsoft 365 contractual commitments, encrypted at rest, manageable through Microsoft Purview, and deletable through Copilot activity history controls. Microsoft does not claim ownership of service output but does not determine whether output is copyright-protected or enforceable. Its Copilot Copyright Commitment can defend qualifying commercial customers against certain copyright claims when required guardrails and content filters were used. The official privacy and overview documentation was updated July 9, 2026. Re-verified 2026-10-01: The official Microsoft 365 Copilot pricing page still shows the recorded promotional $18/user/month Business price against the $21 list price, plus the $23.50 and $32 Business Standard/Premium-with-Copilot rates; no drift detected.
