For each tool we take the cheapest published plan whose allowance covers your monthly usage. Where a vendor only shows a slider we could not read, we assume the same per-unit rate and tag the result "estimate". Plans we could not confirm are tagged "not verified" and never ranked.

Prices come from each vendor's official pricing page. Currency conversion uses Frankfurter API (ECB reference rates), https://api.frankfurter.dev/v1/latest?base=USD rates (as of 2026-10-22) and is approximate. Prices exclude GST/VAT and other taxes; vendors may add tax at checkout. Prices change often, so check the vendor page before buying.
