Corrections to this record
Changes we made to our own record of Matter, newest first: a figure read again on the vendor's page, a plan it no longer lists, a note. None of them is a price change by Matter. Every correction on the site is in the corrections log.
-
Basic. Annual discount withdrawn, price unchanged. The record held 25% off $1, but the note calls $1 the annual-billed rate and names no month-to-month one, so the page offered a saving off a price that already had the saving in it. The annual discount is a percentage of the monthly price and had no base to be one of.
-
Pro. Annual discount withdrawn, price unchanged. The record held 25% off $3, but the note calls $3 the annual-billed rate and names no month-to-month one, so the page offered a saving off a price that already had the saving in it. The annual discount is a percentage of the monthly price and had no base to be one of.

Matter currently holds a platinum deskmark here — Rank 1 of 8 · Employee Recognition. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm and money never touches it.
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if Matter moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
