How we verify pricing
The problem: AI tool pricing changes every few months — vendors reprice, rename plans, and pivot entire product lines. Most comparison sites publish once and never update. While building this site we found popular listicles quoting prices 20–50% off from what vendors actually charge today.
Our rule: if it's on this site, it came from the vendor's official pricing page, and you can see exactly when we last checked it.
The process
- Official sources only. 10 of 11 tools currently tracked are verified directly against the vendor's own pricing page. When a vendor blocks automated access, we mark the data "aggregated" and cross-check at least three independent sources.
- Dated verification. Every tool shows a "verified" date. Site-wide last check: June 10, 2026.
- Annual vs monthly clarity. Vendors love advertising the annual-billing rate as the headline price. We show both columns separately, and mark estimates clearly.
- "Watch out" warnings. Credit expiry rules, intro discounts that revert, per-seat surcharges — the fine print that pricing pages bury, surfaced on every tool page.
- Quality signals are sourced, never invented. We do not publish our own review scores — we haven't run a controlled test of every tool, and we won't pretend otherwise. Instead we aggregate third-party signals you can verify: G2 and Trustpilot user ratings (with review counts), and blind-vote model benchmarks from the Artificial Analysis Video Arena. Where no reliable score exists, we say so instead of making one up.
How this site makes money
Some outbound "Try it" links are affiliate links — if you subscribe, the vendor pays us a commission at no extra cost to you. Two hard rules: affiliate status never changes a price we display, and rankings are computed purely from price data, not commission rates. Tools that pay us nothing are listed identically to tools that do.
