| Select to compare | Segment | Delivery | The lowest verified paid plan billed monthly, in USD, read from the vendor’s own pricing page. Free plans and custom quotes are not entry prices. | Free tierYes when the vendor’s own pricing shows a plan that costs nothing to start — a verified $0 plan or a sourced free-tier fact. | ActivityThe Activity Index: 0–100 for how much verified, dated change was logged for the tool in the last 90 days. It measures activity — not quality, usage, or popularity.0–100 · 90 days | The most recent change logged from a first-party source — a price, plan, release, platform, availability, or ownership change — and how long ago it happened. | When the oldest current fact or price on this record was last checked against the vendor’s page. Everything in the row is at least this fresh. | How many of the standard profile facts are verified with a source. Gaps read “Not yet verified” — they are never guessed. | ||
