- AI tool plans: plans.csv. One row per plan of a researched tool (139 plans): its monthly and yearly price, what it includes and its monthly allowance, checked on the same days.

What the numbers are
- Prices are what each vendor published on its pricing page on the day in
prices_checked, in US dollars a month. We re-check them every week and record each change in the tool's price history. Check the vendor's page before you buy. - A price per unit is our calculation: a plan's monthly price divided by the allowance the vendor states, assuming you use all of it. It is not a measured cost.
- How we research every tool: how we research and test.
