What does it actually cost you a year?

Not the monthly number on the button. The yearly total, the price it renews at once the first term ends, and whether the free tier is a free tier or a trial in a hat.

We read the checkout screen Prices come off the page or screen where you would actually be charged, not off a press release or a comparison table someone else built.

Every figure is dated A price with no date on it is a rumour. Ours carry the day we read them, and we say so when a figure is older than we would like.

We don't review the product Whether it is any good is someone else's job. We tell you what it costs and what happens in month thirteen.

The spread, right now

Across 80 services on the ledger · checked 26 Aug 2026

$19.80 cheapest paid tier we track, per year
$3896.88 dearest paid tier we track, per year

That is a gap of $3877.08 a year between the cheapest paid tier on the ledger and the dearest. Another 5 records cost $0.00 a year and have no paid tier at all, which is the floor everything above has to justify itself against. The whole ledger is at every price we track.
