How this index is maintained
- Prices are taken from each tool's official pricing page — not from press releases or third-party lists.
- All prices are USD, monthly billing, unless the notes say otherwise. Annual billing is usually 20–30% cheaper.
- Every row is re-checked once a month. The verification date at the top of this page reflects the last full pass.
- Enterprise and custom-quote tiers are excluded — this index covers plans with public prices.
- Found an outdated price? The full review of each tool (linked in the table) shows the same data with more detail on what each plan includes.
