How we compute this

  • A tool is listed when one of its published plans costs 0. Limits and features come from the vendor's plan description as captured on the check date.
  • The upgrade price is the cheapest paid plan per month, in the vendor's currency. Free plan limits change often: confirm them on the vendor page before relying on them.
