Pricing
The handsofflinks ledger is $0. The pipeline is $99. With both reviews it is $299.
The first one is not a product. The ledger, its 181 failures and the twelve live links you can fetch yourself cost nothing and ask for nothing, and reading them is the honest way to decide. The pipeline is $99, paid once. Two written placement reviews on top of it are $299, paid once. Most buyers do not need the second one.
The argument about what renting links costs, the channel tables and the per-day chart all live on the home page. This page is the comparison, the five questions people actually ask, and the refund.

Card payment through Stripe. No account to create here or at checkout, nothing kept on file, nothing renews.
One number on this page is small, and merging it with the big one would be the easiest lie here. The 413-row ledger is my own operating history with this method, 413 built, 232 passed audit, 181 did not, across 16 sites in 37 days. The zip you buy is the rewrite of the code that built that history, carrying the same gates and 94 tests, and the rewrite's own lineage has produced 2 independently verified live links so far. Two different numbers, two different things, and they stay that way on every page here.
Questions
Five questions, answered before you pay.
What do I actually get for $99?
A zip file. handsofflinks-v1.0.5.zip, 415,822 bytes, with its SHA-256 printed beside it, and the download opens the moment Stripe confirms the payment. Inside is the full source, 94 tests, the 8 active publishing channels and the 116-entry channel registry with every reject reason written next to the entry that earned it. It runs on your machine, under your accounts and your own scoped tokens. Nothing is hosted here and nothing phones home. Unlimited sites, unlimited runs, and client work is allowed.
What is the difference between the pipeline and the review tier?
Software against my time. The $299 tier ships the identical zip under the identical licence and takes nothing away. What it adds is two reviews written by hand, your first ten publishing targets before you run them and your first live placement after it goes up, three business days each. One thing to know before you pay. The automatic download gate is wired to the $99 payment link only, so the $299 download link reaches you by email within one business day instead of appearing on the next page.
What happens if it does not work for me?
You email hello@handsofflinks.com inside 30 days and the money goes back to the card you paid with, in full. No reason required, no form, no call. If you followed the first-link guide and no ledger row ever reached LIVE, attach the run log. Same refund either way, and the log is what fixes the channel for the next buyer. What I guarantee is that the software runs and that I repair channels as they break. Never rankings.
Do I need the review tier?
No, and most buyers do not. The pipeline is the whole product. The review tier adds no code, no channel and no licence right, so nothing is held back from the $99. Buy the reviews only if you would rather have somebody read your target list before you publish into it than find out from your own ledger afterwards. Nothing about the $99 expires and the review tier stays on sale, so it is not a decision you have to make today.
Is there a refund?
Thirty days, unconditional, on both paid tiers. One email, no reason required. There is no account for a refund to be trapped in as credit, no contract to buy out, and no card left on file. It is source code, so a refund cannot claw the zip back and I would rather say that out loud than pretend otherwise. You keep it either way. The policy in full is on the refund page.
Refund
Thirty days, unconditional, on both paid tiers.
Email hello@handsofflinks.com within 30 days of paying and you are refunded in full, to the card you used. No reason required, no form to fill in, nobody to schedule a call with.
No balance, because there is no account to trap one in. No buyout, because there is no contract. No card on file to forget about. And you keep the source, because clawing back a zip is not possible and I will not pretend it is.
What is guaranteed is that the software runs and that I repair channels as they break, with those repairs reaching you as included updates. Never rankings. The full policy, including how it sits against your statutory rights in the EU, is on the refund page, and the licence terms are on the terms page.
