How these numbers are put together
Entry price is the cheapest paid plan a vendor publishes, per month, in USD. A tool with a free plan shows Free plus the first paid figure. A tool that publishes no price shows Custom and sits outside every average, because a quote is not a comparable number.
Annual per month comes from the recommended plan where a vendor marks one, otherwise the first plan that publishes both a monthly and an annual price. The saving is the gap between the two. Most pricing pages load with the annual toggle already switched on, so the number you see first is usually the discounted one. A 20% annual saving is a 25% monthly premium.
Exclusions. Usage charges above plan limits, credit top-ups, setup fees, add-on seats and one-off migration costs are not in the entry price. Neither is tax. Enterprise tiers are ignored unless they are the only paid plan.
Scores and deals come from the same data as the reviews. Full method on how we test.
Frequently asked questions
- What counts as the entry price in this index?
- The cheapest paid plan a vendor publishes, per month, in USD. It is not the plan I would recommend, and it is not the annual figure unless the column says so. Where a tool has a free tier, the table says Free and shows the first paid plan beside it. Where a vendor publishes no price at all, the tool is marked Custom and left out of every average.
- How often are these prices checked?
- Once a month. Every vendor pricing page is opened, the entry price is recorded in USD, and any movement is logged on that tool's review page with a date. The figures in this table were checked September 2026. If a vendor changed a price this week, it shows here at the next monthly pass, not before.
- Why does the index lead on medians rather than means?
- The mean is dragged upward by a handful of advertising platforms priced in the hundreds. Across the paid tools here the mean entry price is $112 a month against a median of $48.50. The median is the better answer to "what does a seller tool cost", so both are shown and the median leads.
- Why are quote-only tools excluded from the averages?
- A tool that shows a price only after you enter your revenue or ad spend has no comparable number, and guessing one would move the median. 10 of the 82 tools here are quote-only. They stay in the table so you can see which vendors hide pricing, but they are counted separately, never averaged.
- Are the prices in US dollars?
- Yes. Some pricing pages are geo-locked and show GBP or EUR by location, in which case the page is opened from a US location and the USD figure recorded. That is the only way to put this many tools on one line. If you are billed in another currency, expect a conversion and sometimes a local premium on top.
- Where do the reader deals come from?
- Direct partner arrangements with the vendors. A deal is either a code you paste at checkout or a discount the tracked link applies on its own, and the label in the table says which. Deals never change a score or a position in this table, and tools without any affiliate programme are listed on the same terms as tools with one.
