Prices are a reviewed snapshot in US dollars, converted to a monthly figure when a plan is billed yearly. Per-seat plans are counted at one seat. Usage-based and "contact sales" plans are excluded from the median. Always confirm the current price with the vendor.

How this index works

How is the median entry price calculated?

For each tool we take the cheapest real monthly price a buyer can pay: the lowest paid plan on its pricing page, converted to a monthly figure when the plan is billed yearly. Free tiers and 'contact sales' plans are excluded from the median and counted separately. The median is the middle value of those prices in a category.

Are these prices current?

They are a dated snapshot. Each row names the range of review dates behind it. Vendors change prices, limits, and plan names frequently, so confirm on the vendor's pricing page before you buy.

Why is my category missing?

A category appears only once at least 5 of its tools have a captured price. Below that a median describes the sample, not the market.
