How prices are checked
The full method- Every price, seat limit and free-tier cap is read from the vendor’s own pricing page, help centre or licence file, and dated. The current set was read on 27 October 2026.
- A figure we could not read at source is left out and the gap is named, not filled with a guess or a reseller’s number.
- Costs are worked out at real team sizes, so seat minimums, seat caps and flat packs show up in the total.
- Nothing here claims hands-on testing yet. Each profile says what its evidence is.
- Vendors can pay to be evaluated. They cannot pay for a position, a verdict or a removed criticism.
