HOW STANDWATCH WORKS

Free means free. The core service costs nothing for the military community: founder-funded today, designed to stay free through clearly labeled advertising and affiliate partnerships.

We never sell your information. No lead lists, no cold calls, no spam. Most tools need no signup at all; a Watch needs only an email to alert you.

We show our work. Every figure comes from a primary source with its date shown. How we are paid never changes what the numbers say.
