pricefog

/ˈpraɪsˌfɒɡ/nounVerified New

Technology & AIWork & Economy

The condition of never knowing an object's real price because every shopper is shown a different one.

The fare, the room, the ticket — all dynamically priced, all personally targeted, none comparable. Pricefog is the opacity personalized pricing creates: not hidden prices, but prices hidden in variance.

Etym. — *price* + *fog*, on the -fog family; versionfog's commercial sibling.
