How we check prices

Short version: from the source, with a date, and honest about what we couldn't confirm.

Where prices come from

• Every price comes from the vendor's official US pricing page, in US dollars, excluding sales tax.
• We record the date we checked it. That date is shown next to every price.
• We currently track 74 tools across CRM, email marketing, payroll, accounting, help desk, project management, field service and construction software.

"Checked" vs "Being checked"

Some vendors hide prices behind scripts or block automated visits. When we couldn't read a price directly on the official page, we mark it Being checked and show the best figure available until we confirm it. We never present such a figure as confirmed.

When prices change

We re-check prices regularly. When a vendor changes a price, we keep the old price, the new price and the date in our SaaS Price Tracker, so you can see the history.

How we order tools

Lists are ordered by our quality rating (features for the price, ease of use and reputation) and how widely a tool is used. Commission never affects the order. Tools that pay us nothing appear in the same way as tools that do. See how we make money.

How we use AI

We use AI tools to help collect public pricing information and to draft text. Prices are taken from official pages, and people on our team review the pages before and after they go live. If you spot a mistake, tell us and we'll fix it.
