The actor never opened the top-right menu, where Pricing sits; this is not a claim that the site has no pricing link.

Two “Not now” clicks were never dispatched, yet the summary reports the demo failed after declining. Excluded from the trusted ranking pending review.

Whether the step-1 “No thanks” click or the Product Hunt banner opened the extra tab is unresolved.

The report misread the pricing table (Starter / Growth / Enterprise; AI credits 200 / 500 / Unlimited) and the FAQ clicks were never dispatched. Excluded from the trusted ranking pending review.

The run mixed the candidate and recruiter purchase contexts; the $49 figure describes the recruiter service, not the free candidate profile.
