The honest print. Until 31 October 2026 the whole Bureau is in open access — the free allowances above take effect on 1 November 2026. The Factbook, the Barometer, the rankings and the forecasts are open to every reader today; no plan walls them off, and this page will not pretend otherwise. Prices are in US dollars — one price, every country. What you see is what you are charged.
