What we know, and what we do not
HMRC’s recognition list gives a supplier name and a product name. Everything below is either taken from that list, derived from the product’s own name, or read from Ciphr Limited’s website on 25 September 2026. We have not used the product, and we do not publish scores or star ratings, because we would be making them up.

We do not publish a price for this product. Not because we could not find a figure, but because reading prices off marketing pages automatically proved wrong about half the time: tiers, promotional rates, third-party costs and customer testimonials all look alike to a machine. The methodology gives the examples. Check Ciphr Limited’s own page for the price, and treat anyone publishing a confident figure for all 177 products with suspicion.
