FAQ

Is this tool really free, and do I need an account?

Yes—it's free to use. You can run the fit finder and print/export results without creating an account.

Does it recommend Ring doorbells?

It’s designed to surface low-maintenance Ring alternatives and doorbell “archetypes” that fit your constraints, especially if you want fewer subscriptions and less ongoing admin.

What inputs does the recommendation use?

It uses practical install constraints like existing wiring/transformer access, mechanical vs digital chime, Wi‑Fi strength at the door, budget range, and how much you want to avoid subscriptions.

Can I save results for multiple homes (e.g., Mom’s house and my apartment)?

Yes. You can save multiple profiles with notes and export a JSON/TXT results pack for each home so you can compare later or share with others.
