Why we built these (and made them free)

Choosing a vanity phone number involves real research. You need to know what spells what on a keypad, what the actual ROI math looks like, what the going prices are, and what your industry's recall economics look like. Most providers obscure this information to push buyers toward higher-priced subscriptions.

We built these tools because: (1) buyers make better decisions with clear information; (2) free tools become natural backlink magnets, which helps our SEO; (3) building useful infrastructure is the right way to compete in a market with established incumbents.

Use these on your own site

If you're a blogger, marketer, or consultant who'd find these tools useful for your audience — feel free to link to them directly. We don't track, don't require signup, don't gate behind email collection. If you want the tools embedded in iframe form, contact us via the contact form and we can provide embed snippets with attribution.
