Comparison based on publicly available pricing and terms as of Q2 2026 and interviews with 14 former Geek Squad customers who switched. Geek Squad is a registered trademark of Best Buy; we're not affiliated with them.

The bigger difference

We built the opposite of a call center.

The tech-support industry is quietly designed to sell you more of itself. We wanted to see what happens if you take that incentive out entirely.

Nobody gets a commission

Technicians earn the same whether you buy a $12,000 identity-theft plan or a $89 tune-up. So they never bring it up.

Small on purpose

22 people. Every technician has been here at least two years. When you call back next winter, we probably remember your printer.

Only what we can do well

We don't sell antivirus subscriptions, extended warranties, or cloud storage bundles. Just remote sessions with a real technician.

Ready for the friendlier option?

Free diagnosis. Fifteen-minute reply. Zero commission-based scripts. If it doesn't feel right, hang up before anything happens.
