Corrections
Affiliate disclosure: Same Sample may earn a commission from some links on this page. The commercial relationship is stated next to each product, and products we have no approved affiliate relationship with carry ordinary links. Affiliate status and commission rates are not inputs to the scoring model.
Same Sample logs every correction to a published figure on this page rather than editing a number quietly. Each entry names the affected page, the original statement, the corrected statement, the date and the reason.
How does a correction get made?
A reader or a vendor sends the primary source that contradicts a published figure. Same Sample re-checks against that source, corrects the page if the source supports it, and adds an entry here on the same day.
Write to [email protected] with the page, the figure, and the source. A report without a primary source is still read, but a figure only changes when a source supports the change.
Corrections are split into two classes. A material correction changes a number, a ranking order, or a recommendation. A non-material correction fixes wording, a typo or a broken link, and does not change what the page asserts.
What corrections have been made so far?
Four material corrections. Three on 2026-09-06 to plan prices, and one on 2026-09-07 to a claim about affiliate coverage that described the intended policy as if it were the current state. No measured accuracy figure has been published yet, so none has been corrected.
Changes made before a figure was ever published are not corrections and do not belong here. Method and protocol changes made before the first run are recorded on the methodology page instead.
The common cause of all three is the same, and it is worth naming rather than hiding: a pricing page that opens on the annual billing option shows a monthly-looking number that is not the month-to-month price. Reading such a page without switching the toggle produces a figure that looks right and is not. Every price on this site is now read with the toggle set to monthly, and the gap between the two is published as its own section on the comparison page.
| Date | Page | What was published | What it says now | Why |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-07 | Affiliate disclosure | Every product on a comparison page carries our referral link | One of the five carries a referral link and four carry ordinary links | The sentence described the intended policy as if it were the current state. Only Snov.io has approved an affiliate application. Two are pending and two vendors have no programme relationship. Found by an external review of the site, not by an internal check, which is why a new gate was added to the build. |
| 2026-09-06 | Comparison, Apollo.io alternatives, Hunter.io vs Apollo.io | Apollo.io Basic 49 USD per user, Professional 99 USD per user | Apollo.io Basic 65 USD per seat, Professional 99 USD per seat | The two figures were on different bases. 49 USD is the annual price divided by twelve and 99 USD is the month-to-month price, so the same product was listed with one annual number and one monthly number. Both are now month to month. Organization was removed from the monthly table because it cannot be bought monthly. |
| 2026-09-06 | Comparison, all Hunter.io pages | Hunter.io third plan named Business, 299 USD | Hunter.io third plan named Scale, 299 USD | The price was right and the plan name was wrong. Hunter.io's pricing page lists Starter, Growth, Scale and Enterprise. No plan called Business exists. |
| 2026-09-06 | Comparison, credit mechanics section | A 49 USD per-user plan costs 147 USD for three people | A 65 USD per-seat plan costs 195 USD for three people | Consequence of the Apollo.io correction above. The worked example used the annual unit price. |
What happens to an old result when a page is re-run?
A re-run does not overwrite the previous edition. Each benchmark carries a version, and an older version stays readable so a reader can see what changed between editions and why.
That rule exists because a comparison site that silently replaces last quarter's numbers with this quarter's is unfalsifiable. Keeping both is what makes a claim checkable.
