Aurora tours, compared by operator and by base
148 products from two aurora bases, each read from the seller's own page on a dated day, plus two columns nobody sells you: how dark it gets, and how often the sky is actually clear.

Start with a place
One page per place, each with the same table in the same order, so two places can be read against each other.

How we check
There are good single-country aurora comparisons, and several of them are written by the companies selling the tours. What did not exist is a dated, per-operator table that runs across more than one base at once, with the see-nothing policy quoted next to the price. This is the first batch of one.
Two of the columns here are not for sale anywhere. Dark hours by base and month are computed from solar position, which needs nobody's permission. The clear-sky share is observed sky cover from the weather station at each base, ten years of it, from a public-domain record. Both are on the best-month page, for six bases including three with no price table yet.
148 products from 72 operators across Tromsø and Rovaniemi, each row carrying the URL it was read from and the date.
Reykjavík has no prices here. Every Iceland source that holds them refuses our reader, and that page says so instead of borrowing figures.
No affiliate programme is live yet, so every link in a table goes to the page the row was read from.
