Free practical tool · no merchant offers required
Deal Lab: compare the real cost of two offers
A lower sticker price isn’t always a better purchase. Compare two offers in the same currency, including shipping, taxes and one-time fees. Your numbers stay in this browser; nothing is submitted or saved. This is a comparison calculator, not a live price tracker.
Offer A
Offer B
Offer B is 29 NOK cheaper overall in this example, even though its item price is higher.
Enter fees as amounts, not percentages. Compare equal quantities and the same currency; this tool doesn’t convert currencies or calculate hidden duties, recurring subscription costs, returns or warranty value. The sample numbers are illustrative, not real retailer offers. Future verified price alerts will require actual merchant data and consent.

Opportunity Radar: official source library
We are expanding beyond United States grants. These are official websites and established organizer directories, not claims that every listing is open to you. Check each individual call's organizer, country requirements, costs and deadline before applying.
- NorwayInnovation Norway — grants ↗Norwegian startup and innovation financing. Eligibility depends on business registration, type and project.
- NorwayResearch Council — current calls ↗Research and innovation funding. Many calls require qualifying Norwegian organizations or partners.
- EuropeEuropean Commission — Funding & Tenders ↗EU and associated-program calls. Eligibility depends on the exact topic, partner and location rules.
- EuropeEuropean Innovation Council ↗Deep-tech startups and research commercialization funding; not generally open to personal hobby projects.
- Global discoveryDevpost online hackathons ↗Browse organizers' challenges; remote format does not guarantee your country is eligible.
- United StatesGrants.gov ↗Official US federal grant listings; many are limited to US applicants, entities or specific jurisdictions.
Source directory only. No automated monitoring or applications are performed from this page. Future matching and alerts require a verified data feed and optional consent-based account features.
Preparing for Opportunity Radar
We're building a source-verified opportunity discovery service. While there is no live matching database or paid alert service, you can use this simple readiness checklist before applying anywhere.
- Confirm the organizer's official website and genuine application link.
- Check region, age, student/company status and remote-participation eligibility.
- Check the deadline in the organizer's own time zone and whether entry is really free.
- Read the prize terms, costs, intellectual-property terms and judging rules.
- Keep a direct link and last-checked date; don't trust an expired repost.
These are practical checks, not verification of any particular opportunity or an enrollment service.
How we'll keep this useful and trustworthy
- Quality before quantity: editorial review before publishing guides, product recommendations or opportunity listings.
- Verified information: show an official source and last-checked date for time-sensitive opportunities, prices and deadlines.
- Choice and privacy: no unsolicited email, no access to private Studio entries and no purchase required for free tools.
- Clear commercial disclosure: future affiliate recommendations or paid partnerships will be clearly marked and never presented as independent first-hand testing without evidence.
