I debated whether to post this as the privacy community already has excellent websites with https://www.privacyguides.org/ and https://www.privacytools.io/ (which is actually metric on the site).
However, I really tried to focus on newcomers who might be less technical. So I really hope that this can be a useful resource, whether it is for you starting this journey, or friends/family who could use the help.
For MetaGer, there isn’t a free tier as far as I understand or can see. You need to pay for credits but key creation is gratis.
True… thanks for the correction - will fix that.
