I get this comment a lot. I agree that it makes sense to compare also local salaries to see which city is the cheapest one to live in as an employee. However, Expatistan is not abo…

At the moment I have no plans to open the data completely. I do sometimes share the data with particular projects or developers on a case-by-case basis. If you are thinking about u…

Yes, currently we have only one accommodation type. We started collecting prices for different ones a while ago. We are now reaching the point where we already have enough data to …

Yes, there are a number of international institutions collecting this data, and almost every single national statistical office collect price data regularly. Sadly, they tend not t…

The creator of Expatistan here. No, it is not the same data. Both sites follow a similar principle but we do not share data.

Expatistan.com creator here. No, we are not affiliated with numbeo in any way. As far as I know, they collect all their prices in their website, just as we do in Expatistan.

The creator here. That's a nasty error. Mountain View is stored internally as "Mountain View, California" and therefore the usual form of Mountain View does not match. Moreover, th…

Other acquisitions that I would call successful (at least from user adoption point of view): * Picasa (Picasa - Jul 2004) * Google Earth (Keyhole Inc - Oct 2004 ) * Analytics (Urch…

I may be able to answer to that too. I've been living in Prague 4 of the last 6 years. I've lived also in Madrid, Frankfurt and Barcelona for extended periods of time. Things that …

It seems that you have not implemented any in-page SEO. * You have no description meta in any page (even at the home page). Help the search engines to show a good snippet of your p…

The way I see it, the "what about emergencies?" argument is not so much about someone in an emergency being able to reach you to ask for help or to inform you. It's a matter of YOU…

"This feels a little like meaningless link bait till then". Spot on. When I saw the title of the article I assumed that they already got the 10,000 sign ups and were explaining how…
