How we check every price

We take each price from the issuer's own page: CompTIA, ISC2, Microsoft, Cisco, GIAC or Coursera. We never copy prices from blogs or resellers. Every price links to its source and shows the day we checked it. We re-check every price once a month. If we can't confirm a price, we don't show a number. Checked on Nov 10, 2026.

The method

Open the issuer's own price page with the country set to the United States.
Copy the price and a short quote of the exact words around it.
Log it with the page address and the date. Every page on this site reads its numbers from that one log.
If the page won't load or shows no price, we mark it "needs a human check" and show a link instead of a number.
Once a month, check each price again and update the date.

Some issuers load prices with JavaScript, so a simple page download shows nothing. For those, we load the page in a real browser and read what it shows a US visitor.

The full log is public: every claim, its source and quote (JSON).

What we couldn't confirm yet

The Security+ V8 (SY0-801) voucher price. CompTIA hasn't posted it yet; the exam starts Nov 17, 2026. We show a link to the official page instead of a number.

Corrections

Nov 10, 2026: we first said ISC2 didn't list prices for its two-try exam option. It does: $299 for CC, $328 for SSCP and $998 for CISSP. ISC2's pages load those prices with JavaScript, and our first check missed them. We've fixed this on every page.

Who runs this site

intocybersec is run by March River Group. Draft wording

We don't run ads or use affiliate links. After launch we may add course links that pay us a commission; each one will be labeled. Draft wording

We're not tied to CompTIA, ISC2, Microsoft, Cisco, GIAC, Google or Coursera. Links to TryHackMe and Coursera are plain links that pay us nothing.
