Could you build this?
Partial The browser extension and SERP DOM injection are straightforward, but labeling thousands of web tools with accurate pricing tiers requires an extensive, maintained database or web-crawling verification system.
What it would actually take: The client is a simple Chrome extension (manifest v3) that parses Google search results and injects visual badges. The bottleneck is the backend knowledge base: either a crowdsourced database or an automated scraping pipeline using headless browsers and LLMs to navigate target homepages, locate pricing/terms pages, verify feature limits (watermarks, trials, credit card requirements), and cache fresh ratings across millions of domains.
