Same-basket price comparison
Known estimates request digital download. Promotional totals are shown only when the provider record contains a distinct documented promotion.
Shared format coverage
Both provider records cover 13 of the same modeled formats. Confirm the exact cassette, film, or photo type on each provider profile before ordering; similar-looking media can have different support.
Important uncertainties
A known estimate is not a final checkout total when inbound shipping, originals return, cloud access, output media, or special handling lacks a published amount. The scenario cards keep those gaps visible rather than selecting a winner from a partial total.
