How we collect this data

Every price comes from the tool's official pricing page, never from third-party sites, and is stored with the date it was checked. Prices are in US dollars, exclude tax, and use monthly billing unless a row says otherwise; many vendors charge less when billed yearly. Promotional and first-month prices are noted where they apply. Tools whose pricing we could not confirm on the vendor's site are left out rather than estimated. New tools join the tracker as soon as their pricing is verified.
