Pricing contradiction
Two pages state different prices for the same plan.
Why it matters
Two pages state different prices for the same plan. A visitor who sees both cannot tell which is real, and this is the point at which most people leave rather than ask. If one of them is out of date, the page still stating it is the one people will quote back to you.
How ShipReady detects it
Two facts stated differently on two pages of the same site. SITE-scoped because that is the only scope that can see a second page. Zero additional HTTP requests: every page it reads was already fetched by the crawl. Detection is comparison over DETERMINISTICALLY EXTRACTED claims, never over an interpretation of the copy. A price claim is only compared when the extractor recovered all of plan, amount, currency and billing period from the page's own bytes; a claim missing any of those is dropped rather than guessed at. Every emitted finding quotes both pages verbatim, so a reader who disagrees can see exactly what the scanner saw. Contact rules are narrower still: a difference in the LOCAL PART of an address at the same domain is never reported, because sales@, support@ and press@ at one company is normal and correct.
Detection is deterministic. ShipReady reports this only when it observes the condition directly, and prefers to miss a real problem over inventing one. Rule version 1.0.0.
How to fix it
This is the prompt ShipReady puts in your report — written to be pasted straight into Cursor, Claude Code, or whichever assistant built the app.
Two of your pages state different prices for the same plan: the lower price on one page and the higher price on the other. Decide which figure is current, then update the other page. Once they agree, remove the duplication that caused it — define your plans and prices in one place (a constants module, your CMS, or your billing provider's API) and render every pricing surface from that source, so the homepage, the pricing page, checkout, and any email templates cannot drift apart again. Also check your billing provider: the price a customer is actually charged should match what both pages now say.
