meebsAbout Meebs
Meebs compares fix, refill, used and new, and finds the best option for you. It makes one call and shows every option beside it, with the price, where the price came from and the day Meebs read it.
Independent. Nobody pays to rank higher: there are no sponsored placements.
How Meebs ranks
First, the option that avoids making a new thing: keep it, buy less, repair, used, refurbished, refill or switch, then a better new one, then wait.
Cost decides inside that order. A cheaper option moves ahead of one above it only when its cost per year of use is at least 30% lower.
Some things are gates, not scores. An option that can’t make your date, or a machine that won’t fit your opening, stays on the page but is never the pick. A price Meebs read today comes before an old one, and an old one before none.
Every option stays visible. Nothing is greyed out or hidden behind “show more”.

Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace and OfferUp are links only. Meebs can’t read them, so it never prices or ranks what’s there.
