The whole page fits in a few paragraphs, which is the point.
When the calculator gives you an answer, it offers a next step: compare real prices from local glass shops. Those quotes come from Glass.net, a shop referral marketplace. If you choose to request quotes there, Glass.net pays us a referral fee. That is the only way this site makes money.
We don't sell your information; we never ask for it. No email, no phone number, no account. We don't take money from insurance companies. We don't get paid extra for steering you toward filing a claim or away from one; the referral fee is identical whatever the calculator concludes. And when the calculator tells you to file an insurance claim instead of paying cash, we earn exactly nothing, and it tells you anyway.
Every other party in this decision has a side. Glass shops that bill insurers are paid more when you file. Insurers price renewals on claims you filed. We wanted the one seat at the table where the math can be honest, and that only works if the money can't lean on the answer. A referral to a price comparison is the most decision-neutral revenue we could find: whichever way the verdict goes, you probably still need glass fixed, and knowing the real local price makes the verdict better anyway.
Links and buttons that say things like "get a real price near you" lead to Glass.net. They're referral links. If you use them, we get paid. We flag this next to the button itself, not just here, because that's how disclosure is supposed to work.
Questions about this page: it changes only when our business model does, and the change will be written here in the same plain language.
