WHAT THEY SAY

The claim

The author says this saved their dad a little over $400 a year: $444 a year at renewal against about $35 a year (about $24 storage and $11 domain).

@Handicapper_Gen asked the bot

Move my dad's photo site off SmugMug before the renewal.

Grok Bot: what it did

Helped build and deploy a copy of the father's SmugMug site, then handled the move of 9,000 high resolution photos and videos to it, ahead of a renewal at $444 a year.

Paraphrased from the post, not the exact words.

WHAT THE POST SHOWS

Evidence: Provider confirmation shown Stage: Reported done

SmugMug's account page shows the Pro plan renewing at $444 a year on 15 Nov; the move and new costs are in the post.

One screenshot of SmugMug's account page: Pro (annually), next renewal 2026-11-15, renewing at $444.00 a year. It doesn't show the new site, the migration or a cancellation, and at the time of the screenshot the renewal was still set. The new cost of about $35 a year is the author's estimate.
