Straight answers, InVideo to NeuroAds

InVideo is genuinely best for marketing teams and creators who want to turn a prompt or script into a publish-ready first-draft video fast, using templates, AI voiceover and stock. Skip it if you need frame-level creative control, long-form or highly bespoke production, or your usage would blow past the monthly credit allowance.

Four paid tiers plus a free plan, read on invideo.io/pricing on 5 September 2026. On annual billing: Plus $17 a month (750 AI credits a year), Max $85 a month (3,900 credits), Generative $170 a month (8,000 credits) and Elite $900 a month (42,500 credits); month-to-month the same tiers are $20, $100, $200 and $1,000. Credits are the meter: every AI generation, avatar minute and export draws them down, and the annual pool is what you actually buy. Always verify the live price.

The honest catch is the credit model — each plan is a fixed monthly credit allowance that different models consume at different rates, and unused credits do not roll over, so a heavy month can exhaust an allowance long before it renews while a slow month simply wastes what you paid for. There is also no free way in any more: on 31 August 2026 the pricing page published no free tier at all, so the cheapest route to trying it is the Plus plan at $20 a month. AI video is fast but generic by default: templated output needs real editing and brand direction to not look like everyone else's. Treat it as a first-draft engine, not a finished-studio replacement.

involve.me is genuinely best for marketers building interactive lead-gen — quizzes, calculators, assessments and payment funnels with built-in email sequences — who want a free tier to validate the concept first. Skip it if you just need a simple form (lighter tools do that free), or you don’t yet have the traffic to feed an interactive funnel.

(re-verified 7 September 2026 — the paid figures on the public page, the free plan measured inside the product, because involve.me publishes nothing about it) There is a free plan, and this is what it actually gives: 2 live funnels, publishing on a daanV.involve.me subdomain (or one of ten alternatives such as quizzes.cx, forms.ac and calculators.cx), the AI funnel builder, and involve.me branding on every page. No team seats at all. Paid, per person per month, annual against monthly: Start $29 / $49 with 3 live funnels and 1 user, Grow $69 / $99 with 5 funnels and 2 users, Scale $139 / $199 with 25 funnels, 5 users, A/B testing and lead verification. Enterprise is from $499/mo on annual contracts only. In the app the same tiers are priced in euros — €29, €69, €139 — and the annual toggle says “save up to 41%” where the public page says 40%. The tier pages also hide three meters that decide more than the funnel count does: funnel visits a month (10,000 / 25,000 / 100,000), contacts collected a month (300 / 1,000 / 3,000) and AI credits a month (50 / 100 / 300). Each is toppable: +5,000 visits €8.33, +200 contacts €8.33, +250 AI credits €7.50, +1 seat €7.50, +5 live funnels €7.50. Prices exclude EU VAT. Every tier is higher than at the 17 Jul 2026 reading, when Start was $19/mo annual and $29 month-to-month. Always verify the live price.

The tier pages sell live funnels, but the meter that empties first is contacts. Start collects 300 contacts a month against 10,000 funnel visits — so a funnel converting at 3% hits the contact ceiling and the visit ceiling in the same week, and the next 200 contacts cost €8.33 on top. That trio (visits, contacts, AI credits) appears only in the in-app comparison table, not on the public pricing page. The free plan is worse than undocumented: involve.me offers it ten times across the pricing page, the comparison table and the in-app upgrade screen, and specifies it nowhere. We measured it — 2 live funnels, involve.me branding, no team seats — and you only learn any of that by hitting the wall, because a free account has no usage panel at all: “Plans & Billing” goes straight to the upgrade page. And the honest fundamental for any interactive-funnel tool: quizzes and calculators convert traffic you already have — they don't create it, so validate on the free plan before the subscription outruns the pipeline.

Jibble is genuinely best for teams that need attendance records without a per-seat bill — if the free tier covers your case it is genuinely free, which nothing else in this category offers. Skip it if you need the paid features, because you will have to get those prices from them directly; also skip facial recognition without checking your local rules on biometric data, which is a legal question rather than a pricing one.

(read 2026-08-30 on jibble.io) There is no published price for anything above the free plan. The pricing page has been retired: jibble.io/pricing returns a 301 to /upgrade-plans, which returns a 301 to the homepage, and /plans does the same. What the homepage claims is a free forever plan with unlimited users, described as '100% free', with no credit card required and setup 'in under 2 minutes'. Where a price table would be, an impact calculator projects annual savings on three published assumptions — 40 hours a week, 48 working weeks a year, 5.5% payroll leakage — and labels the cost of Jibble Free as $0. The enterprise page names no figure either; its only call to action is a demo booking. (2026-09-02) Jibble's partnerships team confirmed to us in writing, through the PartnerStack programme, that there is no external pricing page. Jibble states an average of 4.8 out of 5 across major review platforms and app stores on more than 20,000 verified reviews. Always verify the live price.

Free forever with unlimited users is a real claim and unusual in this category, where per-seat pricing is the norm — that alone makes it worth a look for a team on a tight budget. Two things to establish before you rely on it. First, what the free tier actually excludes, because 'unlimited users' and 'unlimited features' are different promises and the paid tiers exist for a reason. Second, note that their pricing page leads with a calculator showing what you supposedly save rather than what you pay. That is a marketing choice, and the number it produces rests on assumptions about payroll leakage that are theirs, not measured in your business.

Joiin is genuinely best for finance teams and accountants consolidating multi-entity, multi-currency group reporting from Xero, QuickBooks or Sage without hand-built spreadsheets. Skip it if you run a single entity (your accounting platform's own reports cover it), or your ledgers live outside the supported integrations and you'd be importing spreadsheets anyway.

(re-verified 2026-08-17 against Joiin's own machine-readable pricing page) 14-day free trial, no credit card; unlimited users and reports on every plan. Priced by the number of companies you consolidate, with the page showing both columns: monthly against annual, per month. 1 company $28 / $23, 2 $36 / $29, 5 $70 / $57, 10 $111 / $92, 20 $167 / $139, 50 $217 / $174, 100 $336 / $252. Above 100 companies it starts from $336/mo plus $2.80 per additional company. Paying monthly runs roughly 20% above the annual rate at every step. Always verify the live price.

The $23 headline covers a single company on annual billing — but consolidation is the whole point of Joiin, and a real group of 10-20 entities lands at $92-139 a month. Month-to-month billing adds roughly two months per year, and it consolidates what its integrations reach: Xero, QuickBooks and Sage, plus spreadsheet imports for everything else.

Jotform AI Agents is genuinely best for teams already using Jotform (or wanting no-code) that need AI chatbots and service agents to handle leads, support and bookings tied to their forms. Skip it if you need a deeply customizable, standalone conversational-AI platform, or your conversation volume would make the per-tier caps expensive.

(re-verified 4 Sep 2026 on jotform.com/ai/agents/pricing, on the yearly tab; the same figures were read from a US exit on 26 Aug 2026. The page localises its currency — it quotes $34 / $39 / $99 to a US visitor and €34 / €39 / €99 to a Dutch one, the same numerals either way.) Starter is free. Bronze is $34 a month, Silver $39 and Gold $99, each billed annually, with 'save up to 20%' against monthly billing; Enterprise is quoted. On the AI Agents page the ladder is drawn in agents and conversations, not in forms and submissions: 5 agents and 100 monthly conversations on Starter, 25 and 1,000 on Bronze, 50 and 2,500 on Silver, 100 and 10,000 on Gold. Sessions, voice-call minutes, SMS and knowledge-base characters are metered alongside — 10,000 / 100,000 / 1,000,000 / 2,000,000 monthly sessions and 50 / 100 / 200 / 300 voice minutes across the same four tiers. Jotform defines a session as a chatbot view, a page refresh or a phone call starting, whether or not anyone interacts. Always verify the live price.

The gating detail is conversations, not features — Starter's 100 a month is a few days on a live site, and an agent that actually gets used will push you up a tier. Sessions are metered separately and Jotform counts a chatbot view or a page refresh as one, so a busy page burns allowance without ever holding a conversation; voice minutes and SMS meter on top as well. It's also tightly bound to the Jotform ecosystem: brilliant if you already live in Jotform forms, less compelling as a standalone chatbot if you don't. For form-driven support and lead capture, it's a fast, low-code win.

Jubilee is genuinely best for bankruptcy attorneys and legal professionals who want streamlined petition preparation, document automation and case management for filings. Skip it if you don't practice bankruptcy law, or you file so few cases that a general practice-management tool plus manual forms is enough.

Pay As You Go is $95 per case. The alternative is an annual subscription billed by yearly filing volume. Jubilee 36 is $995/yr (up to 36 filings, 2 users, $34.99/case over) and Jubilee 150 $2,495/yr (up to 150, 3 users, $26.99 over). Jubilee 300 is $3,995/yr (up to 300, 3 users, $17.99 over) and Jubilee 500 $4,995/yr (up to 500, 5 users, $12.99 over). Prices are for annual billing; above 500 filings a year the vendor quotes custom pricing (re-verified 2026-08-26). Always verify the live price.

It's a focused vertical tool — bankruptcy petition preparation and case management — so its whole value is bounded by that practice area; a general legal practice won't get much from it. The case-count tiers are the thing to size correctly: pick 36 vs 300 by your real annual filing volume, and check whether the pay-per-case option is cheaper if you file sporadically. For a bankruptcy practice, the automation and court-form handling are exactly the point.

Kartra is genuinely best for creators and coaches who want funnels, email, checkout, memberships and scheduling under one roof instead of five subscriptions. Skip it if you only need one of those pieces — a dedicated tool does that piece better and cheaper than an all-in-one.

(re-verified 2026-09-05 on their own pricing page) Four tiers, monthly against yearly: Essentials $59 / $52, Starter $119 / $99, Growth $229 / $189 and Professional $549 / $429, with yearly billing advertised as saving up to 22% and a 14-day trial. The tier names moved since our August reading — the $119 plan is now called Starter and the $229 plan Growth — while every amount stayed the same. The line that changes the arithmetic and is missing from most summaries: Essentials charges a 5% transaction fee on your sales, and the tiers above it charge 0%. On $10,000 a month of sales that fee is $500, which makes the $60 step from Essentials to Starter trivially worth taking. Contacts are capped at 500, 2,500, 12,500 and 25,000 across the four tiers; Essentials sends 10,000 emails and texts a month against unlimited above it and includes 1 custom domain. Kartra never blocks new leads: it upgrades you automatically to the tier that fits and charges a mid-cycle reconciliation fee for the move — two answers above that one, the same FAQ says a Kartra subscription is flat-rate and there are never any extra fees. Always verify the live price.

If your core need is polished course delivery, Kajabi's creator features are stronger; Kartra wins on all-in-one breadth, not course depth.

Katana MRP is genuinely best for product makers and small manufacturers who need live inventory, production scheduling and multi-channel order sync in one cloud platform. Skip it if you're a simple reseller who doesn't manufacture (a plain inventory tool is cheaper), or your volume is too low to justify the add-on-driven real cost.

(re-verified 2026-08-17) A Free plan covering 30 SKUs with unlimited users, integrations and locations plus full features and API, then Core starting at $299/mo with unlimited SKUs and users and 24/7 support, and an Advantage tier on custom pricing. The add-ons are where the real cost sits and they are priced separately: manufacturing routings and insights $199/mo, end-to-end traceability via batch or serial numbers $249/mo, warehouse management with bin locations and pick-and-pack $149/mo, plus an optional $2,000 item on the page. Higher monthly sales-order volume also raises the effective cost. Always verify the live price.

The $299 headline is the floor. Production routings and traceability are paid add-ons on top, and those are exactly the features most manufacturers need, which is why real bills often land two to three times higher. Cost also rises with sales-order volume, so a busy month is a bigger month. It's genuinely capable manufacturing software; just price the add-ons you need, not the base plan.

Keap is genuinely best for service-based small businesses, coaches and solopreneurs who want CRM, email, payments and automation in one tool — and will invest the time to learn it. Skip it if you're price-sensitive, want a modern UI, or only need simple email — the cost and learning curve bite.

Starting at $299/mo billed monthly for the whole platform, with no feature-based tiers and no free plan (re-verified 2026-09-05 on their own pricing page). That $299 is what the calculator quotes for its own minimum: 2 users and 1,500 contacts. Raising only the contact count on the same calculator gives $335 at 2,500, $449 at 5,000, $539 at 10,000 and $719 at 25,000, and users beyond the first two are $39 a month each. Keap also requires paid implementation services — strategy consulting, data import and migration — quoted separately before you go live. Text marketing is bundled at Tier 1 (500 messages and 100 voice minutes) and steps to $24, $39, $79, $139 and $279 a month above that, with overages at $0.015 a message and $0.01 a voice minute; it is US-only. Cancelling an annual contract before its term ends carries a $299 early termination fee, and cancellation must be started by phone at least ten days before the next invoice date. Keap has been acquired by Thryv; its own pages now route training to Thryv Academy. Always verify the live price.

Cost is the big one (56% of reviewers flag it), the interface feels dated, and there's a real 2–4 week learning curve on the automation builder. Billing and cancellation complaints are common — their own terms carry a $299 early termination fee on an annual contract and require ten days' phone notice — and email design is thinner than dedicated email tools.

Keeper Security is genuinely best for teams that need shared credentials with real admin control and audit, and that will genuinely use the provisioning and role-based access that separate this from a consumer password manager. Skip it if you are under five people wanting a shared vault, since Business Starter is scoped at 5–10 users and Keeper's own Personal plan at $4.34 a month, or Family at $9.28, covers that case for less.

(re-verified 2026-09-06 on their own business and add-on pricing pages) Three business tiers, all billed annually: Business Starter at $2.00 per user per month, described as protection for 5–10 users; Business at $4.00 per user per month; Enterprise at $6.00 per user per month, sold through Request a Quote. The amounts are injected by script, so a page fetched without rendering shows the tiers with the figures missing. Personal and family plans are priced on their own page: Personal $4.34 per month ($52.02 billed annually) and Family $9.28 per month ($111.31 billed annually). The add-ons carry their own list: BreachWatch and KeeperChat $24 per user per year, Advanced Reporting & Alerts and Compliance Reports $12 per user per year, Endpoint Privilege Manager $36 per endpoint per year, Secure File Storage from $132 per year, Professional Services from $270 per year, with Connection Manager and Keeper Secrets Manager quote-only. Always verify the live price.

The per-user price is the smallest part of the bill. Read the add-ons page next to the plan page and the shape becomes clear: BreachWatch and KeeperChat are $24 per user per year each, Advanced Reporting & Alerts and Compliance Reports $12 per user per year each, endpoint privilege management $36 per endpoint per year — so a Business seat at $4.00 a month can quietly double once you add the monitoring and reporting most buyers assume is included, and Connection Manager and Secrets Manager are not even priced. Annual billing is stated on every tier, so there is no month-to-month option to test with, and Business Starter is scoped at 5–10 users. Ask for the base plan and each add-on you need as separate lines, because a bundled quote here hides which part is actually costing you.

Kinsta is genuinely best for business-critical WordPress sites where speed, uptime and expert support directly affect revenue. Skip it if you run a small, low-traffic site on a tight budget — entry-level shared hosting or a caching plugin gets you most of the way for a fraction of the price.

(re-verified 2026-08-17 on their own plans page, USD, tax excluded) Managed WordPress hosting from $35/mo for a single site, or $30/mo billed annually $350 a year, with the first month free on top — Kinsta advertises annual as two months off. That entry plan carries one WordPress install, 10GB storage, 125GB CDN bandwidth and 14 days of backup retention, and you choose whether it is metered on bandwidth (20GB) or on visits (35,000), which is a real change from the visit-only plans older reviews describe. Multi-site plans start at $59/mo $700 a year for two installs, and agency plans start at $340/mo, or $284/mo billed annually at $3,400 a year. It is a premium tier — cheaper shared hosts exist. There is no exclusive discount code to look for: Kinsta confirmed to us on 28 Jul 2026 that it gives no partner-only or affiliate-only discounts. Always verify the live price.

You're paying a premium for managed speed, Google Cloud infrastructure and expert support — worth it if performance and hands-off management matter, wasteful on a low-traffic hobby site a $5 shared host would carry fine.

Kit is genuinely best for creators, writers and coaches building an audience-first business who want email, landing pages, digital products and a creator network in one. Skip it if you're an e-commerce store (commerce-native email tools fit better) or your list is big-but-cold — clean it before paying per subscriber.

(re-verified 2026-09-02) The free plan is $0/mo and covers up to 10,000 email subscribers, with unlimited landing pages and forms, unlimited email broadcasts, audience tagging and segmentation, and digital products and subscriptions. Kit renamed the old Newsletter plan to Free and took automation out of it: Visual Automations and email sequences are now Creator-and-above, and Kit's affiliate briefing of 2 September 2026 adds that new free accounts open with a 14-day Creator trial and that accounts already on the Newsletter plan keep what they had. Creator is $39/mo billed monthly, or $33/mo billed yearly ($390 a year, saving $78), and adds unlimited Visual Automations, unlimited email sequences, Kit MCP, SMS marketing and branding removal. Pro — the tier that adds Subscriber Signals, engagement analytics, deliverability reporting, a newsletter referral system and unlimited users — is $79/mo billed monthly, or $66/mo billed yearly ($790 a year, saving $158). Paying yearly saves 17%. Every paid price on the page is quoted for 1,000 email subscribers and Kit bills by list size, so read the tier for your own list before you budget. Paid plans open with a 14-day free trial without a card, and migrations are free. Always verify the live price.

Three honest notes. Subscriber-based pricing counts everyone on your list — cold subscribers cost the same as fans, so prune before you price. The free plan changed shape in 2026: it now runs to 10,000 subscribers rather than 1,000 (re-verified 2026-09-02), but Visual Automations and email sequences came out of it, so the free tier sends and captures without automating anything — what puts you on Creator at $39/mo, or $33/mo paid yearly, is wanting a welcome sequence rather than list growth. And the 35% price hike in 2025 changed the value math: the free tier is still arguably the best in creator email, but paid tiers now deserve comparison shopping rather than default loyalty. The creator-first features (tip jars, paid newsletters, recommendations) remain the real differentiator.

Kite is genuinely best for shopify stores that want the discount mechanics themselves — gift with purchase, buy X get Y, tiered and volume pricing, with progress bars pushing the cart toward the next reward — built on native Shopify Functions rather than theme edits. Skip it if your promotions are simple enough for Shopify's own discount engine, or you are on Advanced or Plus and unwilling to start at $49 — and if all you need is a pile of unique codes, a code generator does that for a third of the price.

(prices read 2026-09-06 on apps.shopify.com/kite-free-gift) Four plans, billed in USD every 30 days. The Free plan is free to install and covers the first 50 discount orders each month; the listing states that $29 a month is billed only if you go over 50 orders. Starter is $29 a month, or $299 a year at a stated 14% saving, and adds unlimited discount orders, combined offers, progress bars and up to 10K bulk codes. Growth is $49 a month, or $499 a year at 15%, and raises bulk codes to 100K with multiple rules per offer and campaign links. Pro is $99 a month, or $999 a year at 16%, and adds custom discount functions, checkout gifts (Plus only) and segment targeting. The three paid tiers carry a 7-day free trial. Free and Starter both say 'Not for Shopify Advanced and Plus'. Always verify the live price.

'Free to install' is doing a lot of work on this listing. The free plan covers the first 50 discount orders a month, and the same panel says $29 a month is billed once you pass them — so it is a threshold with an invoice behind it, not a free tier you can settle on. A store running one decent promotion will cross 50 discounted orders in days and be on Starter money without choosing to upgrade. The second catch is written on the plans themselves: Free and Starter are both labelled 'Not for Shopify Advanced and Plus', so if you are on either of those Shopify plans your real entry price is the $49 Growth tier, not the $29 the listing leads with. And the feature most likely to sell the app to a large merchant — free gifts added at checkout — is marked Plus only and sits in the $99 Pro tier, which means the Plus stores it is built for pay $1,188 a year to reach it.

Kiwi Sizing is genuinely best for apparel and accessory stores where sizing drives returns, and that want charts plus an AI fit recommender without building either — 4.7 stars from 1,188 reviews on 4 September 2026 is a genuinely strong base, though the recent ones read differently from the aggregate. Skip it if you sell one-size or non-wearable products, where a size chart answers a question nobody asks, or you need more than ten charts and would land on a tier whose order-volume charges are not published.

(read 5 September 2026 on apps.shopify.com/kiwi-sizing) Four tiers, and the interesting line is not the price but the sentence under it. Free publishes up to three size charts with 22 templates and unlimited CSV import, and puts a Kiwi watermark on your storefront. Premium is $7.99 a month for up to ten charts, removes the watermark, adds Google Analytics and auto-translation into English and Spanish, and states plainly: no additional monthly charges. Plus, the tier the store marks Popular, is $14.99 for up to twenty charts, ten size recommenders and six languages. Ultimate is $26.99 for unlimited charts and recommenders and 22 languages. Both Plus and Ultimate carry the same caveat that Premium does not: additional charges apply based on order volume, and the listing does not say what those charges are. Import credits are an optional add-on on every paid tier, and all three come with a 14-day free trial. The listing adds that all charges are billed in USD and that recurring and usage-based charges are billed every 30 days. So the cheapest paid plan is the only one whose bill you can predict, and the one the store pushes is not. Always verify the live price.

The free plan is not limited by the chart count most people assume. Three charts is generous for a small catalogue; the real limit is the Kiwi watermark sitting on your storefront, and removing it is what the $7.99 buys. Judge the free tier on whether you can live with that watermark in front of customers, not on how many charts you get. And read the small print above Plus and Ultimate before you upgrade: both add order-volume charges that the App Store listing never quantifies, while Premium says in writing that it has none.

Kixie is genuinely best for outbound sales teams living in their CRM that want a serious power dialer with local presence, SMS and automation. Skip it if low call volumes (per-seat + minutes math won't pay back), or you want monthly flexibility without contract fine print.

(2026-08-18, read on their own pricing page) No seat price is published. Three plans are listed — Professional, Single-Line PowerDialer and Multi-Line PowerDialer — with a quarterly/yearly toggle but no amount rendered anywhere on the page. The core phone system is identical on all three; what separates them is dialling. There is no PowerDialer on Professional, one line on Single-Line, and up to four simultaneous lines on Multi-Line — also the only tier offering AI human voice detection, as a premium add-on. ConnectionBoost, Conversation Intelligence and DNC compliance are add-ons at every tier. The plan cards claim unlimited US/Canada minutes while the FAQ prices unlimited US and Canada minutes at $30 a month per user, so which of the two applies belongs in writing in your quote. First US/Canada number free, extra local numbers $5.00 a month, porting in free. Texts from $0.011 each on a registered 10DLC number, inbound free. 7-day trial, no credit card. Always verify the live price.

Plan for 30-60% above the sticker: minutes, the multi-line dialer and AI human-voice-detection all bill separately, and the quarterly auto-renewing contract only allows downgrades in its final 30 days — read that clause before signing. The dialer itself is genuinely fast and CRM-native; just buy it with the full basket priced and the calendar reminder set (our Renewal Radar exists for exactly this).

Koongo is genuinely best for Shopify merchants selling across several European marketplaces — Bol, Zalando, Allegro, Cdiscount, Miinto and the rest — who need inventory and order sync to run automatically, and who have priced their own item, feed and order counts against the surcharge table rather than the headline. Skip it if you sell on one channel or need product feeds only, where the feed-manager-only form from $14.50 or a dedicated feed app is cheaper; or your catalogue and order volume sit far enough above the included limits that the surcharges, not the plan, become the price.

(read 2026-08-23 on apps.shopify.com/koongo, listed as “Koongo: Sell on Marketplaces”, and on koongo.com/pricing) Four tiers on the listing, separated by update frequency rather than by capability. Free covers one store language, 100 items or SKUs, 5 product feeds, one marketplace wizard and up to 10 orders a month, updating once a day. Lite is $39 a month and updates every 6 hours, Starter is $79 and updates every 30 minutes, and Pro is $119 and updates every 15 minutes. All three include 1,000 items, 5 feeds, two marketplace wizards with the second free on a summer promotion, and 100 orders a month. All three also carry a 7-day free trial. Every paid tier states surcharges for extras used — items, feeds, marketplaces and orders — and each is also sold in a feed-manager-only form, from $14.50 for Lite, $29 for Starter and $41 for Pro. All charges on the listing are billed in USD and recur every 30 days. The vendor's own pricing page sells the same four plans in euros at €0, €35, €69 and €99 a month, and states that all prices exclude VAT. Each plan is broken into Core, Marketplace Manager, Feed Manager and Ads Manager modules with separate prices. There is also a surcharge table for extra stores, items, orders, marketplaces, feeds and team seats, where an extra 100 orders runs from €10.00 down to €2.00 as volume grows. Developer Koongo, a product of NoStress Commerce s.r.o., Prague; the app launched on 5 November 2014 and had 98 reviews at a 4.4 average at the time of writing. Always verify the live price.

The headline price is a base, not a bill. Each paid plan includes 1,000 items, 5 feeds, two marketplace wizards and 100 orders a month, and the listing says plainly that surcharges apply for extras used across all four of those dimensions. For a store with a real catalogue selling on several European marketplaces, every one of those limits is one you pass in week one. Price your own numbers on koongo.com's surcharge table before you take $39 seriously. The two pricing pages also do not quote the same bill. The App Store lists $39, $79 and $119 and bills in USD. koongo.com lists €35, €69 and €99 and states that all prices exclude VAT. Depending on where you trade and how you are registered, those are meaningfully different amounts for the same plan, and nothing on either page reconciles them. Then the record, which is the most useful thing on this listing. 4.4 from 98 reviews is the lowest average in this category among the apps Shopify shows beside it, and the breakdown explains why: 84 five-star ratings sit alongside six one-star ones. The critical reviews are specific rather than vague, which makes them worth reading in full. In July 2026 a Belgian merchant described a repricer set to Monitoring Mode that still blocked updates to live Bol offers because of MinimumPrice errors, so a delivery-promise change never reached the marketplace. In January 2026 a UK merchant described unresolved integration errors on OnBuy and a refused refund, with Koongo replying publicly that they had reached out several times without response. Neither is disqualifying on its own. Together they describe an app whose complexity is real and whose marketplace integrations sometimes need support to untangle — which is consistent with the vendor's own listing offering personal onboarding for complex setups. One more line to read before you install: the listing states the app views sensitive customer data as well as device and activity data, and can view and edit products, orders and custom data. Marketplace order sync needs customer details to work, so that is expected, but it makes this a processor of personal data on your behalf rather than a feed formatter.

KrispCall is genuinely best for sales and support teams that need virtual numbers across many countries with a shared dashboard, dialer and CRM hooks at a budget seat price. Skip it if your calling is domestic-only at low volume (simpler tools suffice), or you need enterprise reliability guarantees over price.

(re-verified 2026-08-17 against the vendor's own pricing page) Essential $12 per user/mo billed annually or $15 monthly, for solo agents and teams up to 5 people; Standard $32 per user/mo annually or $40 monthly, for teams scaling up to 50 users; Enterprise custom. Annual saves 20%, which the page puts at $36 per user a year on Essential and $96 on Standard, and each plan comes with $1 of free calling and SMS credit. Calls and SMS are otherwise pay-as-you-go from a separate credit balance, and numbers carry their own one-off and monthly charges (from $4.50 one-off and $1.50 a month at the time of reading). Always verify the live price.

Same honest math as most budget VoIP: the plan buys the platform, the meter buys the conversations — per-minute and per-SMS charges land on top of every seat, so the comparison that matters is call-rate-per-country at your volume. The 100+ country number coverage is genuinely the draw; verify number availability and local regulations for your specific target countries before committing.

Landingi is genuinely best for budget-conscious teams, international businesses and anyone needing bulk or programmatic page generation across 29 languages. Skip it if you need AI traffic routing, real-time collaboration or deep technical control — that's where Unbounce earns its higher price.

(re-verified 2026-08-17; the English page quotes USD while the same page served from a Dutch address quotes euros at the same numerals, so check your own currency) Four plans, billed annually: Build $24/month, Optimize $119/month, Scale from $229/month and Enterprise from $1,199/month. Annual billing includes two months free against monthly. Custom domains are metered: 1 on Build, 3 on Optimize, 10 on Scale and 100 on Enterprise, with extras at $5 a month each. AI credits come with the plan (2,500, 10,000, 20,000 and 60,000 a month) and top-ups are pay-as-you-go at $15 for 5,000, $25 for 10,000 and $40 for 20,000. A promotional rate roughly half the Build price appears periodically — it is a limited-time offer rather than the standard rate. Always verify the live price.

You trade away the high-end optimisation: no AI traffic routing like Unbounce's Smart Traffic, no real-time collaboration, and thinner technical control (script containers). Excellent value, but not the conversion-optimisation powerhouse.

LangShop is genuinely best for Shopify merchants selling into several language markets who want machine translation they can correct by hand — glossary rules, brand terms, bulk editing — plus a geolocated language and currency switcher, and whose catalogue and language count fit inside a published tier. Skip it if you sell in one language; or you need more than five languages or more than 5,000 products and are not willing to negotiate a plan that is not published; or your translations must land in metafields without checking, which is precisely what the recent one-star reviews say is unreliable.

(read 2026-09-10 on apps.shopify.com/langshop) Four published tiers, billed in USD every 30 days. Free costs nothing and covers one language and 50 products, with limited manual and AI translation, the standard language and currency switcher and multilingual SEO. Basic is $10 a month or $100 a year, and raises that to 250 products with five glossary rules, unlimited editing of translations, bulk editing and removal of LangShop branding. Standard is $40 a month or $400 a year: three languages, 2,000 products, 100 glossary rules, automatic sync of 50 new items, and the point at which the named engines (OpenAI, DeepL Pro, Google Cloud Translation), the advanced switcher and translation of dynamic content and third-party apps become available. Advanced is $75 a month or $750 a year: five languages, 5,000 products, 250 glossary rules, sync of 125 new items, ten content-exclusion rules and Shopify Flow support. The annual price saves 17% on every paid tier and each carries a 14-day free trial. The plan table ends with a link to 'more pricing plans', so the top of the ladder is not on the listing; ask before you assume Advanced is the ceiling. Always verify the live price.

Two things sit awkwardly next to each other in the plan table. The headline promise is 'unlimited words', but every tier caps how many products you may translate and how many languages you may run, so the meter you actually pay is catalogue size. And the named engines that the listing leads with — OpenAI, DeepL Pro, Google Cloud Translation — are a Standard-tier feature at $40 a month; below that you get limited manual and AI translation. The app is old enough to judge (launched 15 September 2016, developer Aheadworks) and most of its 480 reviews are positive, but 23 of them are one-star, and the recent negative ones are specific rather than vague: a Slovak store reporting that metafield translations ignore both the AI store context and the glossary rules, and a Swedish store of almost three years reporting that products duplicated from another product carry the wrong translation across. If metafields or duplicated products are central to your catalogue, test exactly that during the 14-day trial.

Later is genuinely best for creators and visual-first brands (Instagram/TikTok-centric) that want drag-and-drop visual planning, link-in-bio and scheduling in one. Skip it if you need deep multi-network publishing, listening and team workflows at agency scale (suite-class tools fit), or the post caps chafe immediately.

(re-verified 2026-08-17) Starter $18.75/month, Growth $37.50 and Scale $82.50, all billed yearly, which Later advertises as three months free and 25% off against monthly. Every plan opens with a 14-day trial, and on the page as we read it on 31 August 2026 that trial is the only no-cost route offered: three paid tiers, nothing beneath them, and an FAQ that discusses users per plan rather than any zero-price option. Our earlier note here also described a permanently free option, which we could not source; Later has historically run a no-cost link-in-bio product that may still sit behind the signup flow, but the pricing page does not sell it. The add-ons are where a growing team pays more: extra Social Sets are $11.25 a month each, extra users $3.75 a month each, and extra AI credits $3.75 a month per 100 credits. Starter covers casual scheduling; Growth adds the inbox, approvals and longer analytics; Scale is aimed at enterprise-level analytics without an enterprise contract. Always verify the live price.

The Starter caps are where the price really lives: 30 posts per profile and 3 months of analytics run out fast for an active brand, pushing real users toward Growth — so compare at the tier you'll actually need, not the entry price. Later's visual-first planning (born from Instagram) is still its strength; if your world is link-in-bio commerce and grids, that focus earns its seat.

Leadfeeder is genuinely best for B2B teams with real website traffic and a sales team that will actually work the list — the free tier is enough to find out whether your traffic contains anyone worth calling. Skip it if your traffic is mostly consumer or very low volume, because company identification needs business networks to match against and thin traffic produces a thin list.

(read 2026-08-26 on leadfeeder.com/pricing over a US connection) Lite is free forever with a 14-day full trial, seven days of visitor history and the last 100 companies a month. Discover starts at $79 a month, Activate at $369 and Scale at $599, all billed annually, which the page marks as 30% off. Worth knowing: the page carries both currencies with the same figures — $79 for an American is €79 for a European, not a converted amount — so the euro price is the more expensive of the two. Always verify the live price.

The words doing the work are 'starting at'. What actually sets your price is how many companies you identify a month, and the page shows that allowance as 'Tiered' with no figures at any level. So €79 is the floor of the smallest bucket, and you cannot tell from the page which bucket your traffic puts you in. Get that table before you talk price. Two other things: month-to-month costs 43% more than annual on the same plan (€113 against €79), and Scale is annual-only, so the tier most growing teams land on cannot be tried for a month.

Leadpages is genuinely best for small businesses building landing pages and simple funnels who want unmetered traffic — no per-visitor anxiety, unlike metered rivals. Skip it if you need deep A/B experimentation or enterprise features — the Conversion tier jumps to $299/mo fast.

(re-verified 2026-08-17 against Leadpages' own machine-readable pricing file, which they last updated 2026-07-10; USD) Two lines, six paid plans, no free plan, and a 7-day free trial that requires a credit card and converts unless you cancel. Publishing plans: Starter $10/mo or $8 billed annually ($96 a year), 5 pages, 1 site, no third-party integrations; Pro $29/mo or $23 annually ($276), 25 pages, 1 blog, API access; Business $49/mo or $39 annually ($468), 50 pages, 2 sites. Optimization plans add testing and personalisation: Grow $99/mo or $79 annually ($948), unlimited pages, 4 sites, manual A/B testing; Optimize $199/mo or $159 annually ($1,908), 6 sites, multivariate testing and Smart Traffic; Scale $399/mo or $319 annually ($3,828), 10 sites, heatmaps, auto-personalisation and 10 seats. Annual billing is 20% off across the board. No plan has a traffic cap. Add-ons: $20 a month per extra seat or extra custom domain, $40 per extra client workspace on Scale, and AI credit top-ups from $2.50 for 2,000 credits down to $0.60 per thousand at the largest pack. Always verify the live price.

It's the value pick, not the optimisation pick — if you're spending big on ads, Unbounce's Smart Traffic and Instapage's 1:1 personalisation go deeper.

LearnWorlds is genuinely best for course creators and training businesses that want a branded school with interactive video, assessments, certificates and a built-in checkout. Skip it if you sell only occasional courses (a lighter or transaction-fee-only platform may cost less) or you just need to host a few videos behind a paywall.

(re-verified 2026-09-05 on their own pricing page, which now carries the browser title New Pricing 2026) Starter $29/mo (or $24 annually) but with a $5 fee per paid enrollment — still the single most important number in this ladder; Pro Trainer $99/mo, or $79 billed annually, with no enrollment fee; Learning Center $299/mo, or $249 annually; Corporate quoted. The High Volume tier we recorded in August is gone: the ladder is now Starter, Pro Trainer, Learning Center and Corporate. Annual billing saves 20% and the trial is 30 days. Limits published alongside: 1,000 / 2,000 / 2,000 monthly active learners, 1 / 5 / 25 admins, 300 / 500 / 1,000 AI credits a month, email support 24/5 on Starter against 24/7 above it, and a 99.90% uptime commitment (99.95% on Corporate). All prices exclude VAT, which is added for EU customers unless a valid EU VAT number is given, and your payment gateway (Stripe at about 2.9% + $0.30) charges on top regardless of tier. A branded mobile app is still a separate add-on, but the page now lists it as having multiple price options and prints no amount, so the roughly $149/mo we carried in August is no longer confirmable. Two reading notes: the page opens by asking which of four goals brings you there and recommends a plan on that basis — the figures above were read with the branded-academy goal selected — and the plan cards print their numbers with no currency symbol at all, the only dollar signs on the page sitting on the $5 enrollment fee and the Stripe example. Always verify the live price.

The detail most people miss is Starter's $5-per-paid-enrollment fee — at any real sales volume it quietly makes Starter more expensive than the flat Pro Trainer plan, so the "cheap" tier often isn't. Starter also runs on a single admin seat and 24/5 email support against 24/7 above it, and the branded mobile app is a separate add-on whose price the pricing page no longer states. Price it against your expected enrollment volume, not the sticker.

Leavo is genuinely best for teams that want straightforward time-tracking, attendance and overtime banking with transparent per-user pricing. Skip it if you need a permanent free plan (this is a 30-day trial), or you're a tiny team where a shared spreadsheet already covers hours.

(price re-verified 2026-08-17 against leavo.com) (2026) 30-day free trial with unlimited members (a trial, not a permanent free plan). Professional $2.49/user/mo billed yearly (about $448/yr for 15 users) adds unlimited features and overtime banking; Premium $4.15/user/mo yearly (about $747/yr for 15). Priced per user, annual billing. Always verify the live price.

The tidy per-user numbers are annual-billed, and it's priced per seat — every employee you track adds to the bill, with no volume break shown. And the “free” is a 30-day trial, not a permanent free tier: budget for the paid plan from day 31.

lemlist is genuinely best for outbound teams that live in cold email and want multichannel sequences, warm-up and a big template community in one per-seat tool. Skip it if you send occasional one-off campaigns — the entry plan starts at 69€/month and only pays off with steady outbound volume.

(re-verified 2026-08-17; the page served us DOLLARS today where our previous reading was in euros, with the same numerals — check your own checkout) No free plan, 14-day trial. Email is $69/month, or $55/month on yearly billing, covering unlimited users and 50,000 emails a month. Multichannel is $109/month per user, or $87/month yearly, with unlimited emails and messages and 5 senders per user. Quarterly billing saves 10% and yearly 20%. Enterprise (5+ users) is quote-only. Contact data is billed separately through rechargeable credits where 1 credit = $0.01: a 1,000-credit pack is $10 and buys roughly 200 email lookups or 50 phone numbers, with a phone number costing 20 credits. Always verify the live price.

The per-seat plus per-email-account model makes total cost unpredictable as you scale, and reviews flag support response times and the LinkedIn Chrome-extension's reliability.

LettrLabs is genuinely best for local businesses and e-commerce brands using robotically handwritten mail (~$0.49/piece incl. postage) to stand out where email gets ignored. Skip it if your audience or offer doesn't justify ~$0.49 per contact — direct mail only pays at decent response rates and order values.

(price re-verified 2026-08-31 against the vendor's own pricing page) (2026) Postage is included in every per-piece rate. Three published tiers: Starter is free and pay-as-you-go; Premium is $399/month billed annually or $449 month-to-month; Enterprise is custom-priced. On Starter, postcards are $0.76 (4x6), $0.79 (6x9), $0.85 (6x11) and $1.15 (11x18 tri-fold), and handwritten pieces are $1.56 (handwritten envelope with printed letter), $1.66 (handwritten postcard), $2.86 (card and envelope) and $3.11 (bi-fold card and envelope). Premium's card shows $0.54-$0.88 for postcards and $0.85-$1.71 for handwritten, Enterprise's $0.56-$0.88 and $0.81-$1.52 — but both are labelled 'as low as with spend commitment', so those floors need volume as well as the subscription. Handwritten insert media (a card with no envelope, shipped inside a package rather than mailed) is listed from $0.49 and is not offered on Starter. New accounts get $30 in free credit. Always verify the live price.

Direct mail only pays off with a tight list and a real offer — it's a leverage channel, not a cheap thing to test blindly.

Lindy.ai is genuinely best for teams that live in Slack and want one shared teammate that sits in their meetings, runs scheduled routines and drafts replies inside the tools they already use. Skip it if you want flat, predictable automation costs across a large team — Lindy charges for every seat that touches it and the credits expire each cycle, so you pay for people whether or not they used their allowance.

(re-verified 2026-09-04, read on their own pricing page; the 12 August figures were unchanged) Now sold per user, and the credit allowance is published again. Plus is $29.99/mo per user (3k credits per user per month), Pro $99.99/mo per user (15k credits, 5x Plus) and Max $199.99/mo per user (35k credits, ~12x Plus). Enterprise is quote-only. Every seat's credits pool into one workspace balance, refresh each billing cycle and do not roll over; the page sizes work as 2-250 credits for an everyday ask, 250-1,000 for deep work and 1,000-2,500 for a big build. Anyone who uses Lindy takes a paid seat, including colleagues who only @mention it in Slack — those who join that way get a 7-day free trial first, direct signups are billed straight away. All four tiers connect up to 5 inboxes, and computer use, model selection and MCP support are no longer tier-gated. Always verify the live price.

Cost tracks headcount rather than output: every colleague who so much as @mentions Lindy in Slack takes a paid seat, and a seat you remove runs to the end of the cycle with no mid-cycle proration. Credits are published now, but as ranges: an everyday ask is 2-250, a big build 1,000-2,500. So a month is still an estimate. And when the shared pool runs dry there is no top-up — Lindy pauses credit-using actions until the reset, unless an admin moves the workspace to a bigger plan.

Livestorm is genuinely best for teams running a predictable programme of webinars to a known audience size, where buying a year of attendance up front is cheaper than a per-seat platform. Skip it if your webinar schedule is irregular or experimental, because paying a year ahead for attendance you cannot forecast is the wrong shape; a per-month platform is safer while you find out what works.

(re-verified 2026-09-05 on their own pricing page) There is still no plan price. Pro is sold as attendee credits, bought as a yearly pack up front, with sessions up to 4 hours and unlimited team members; Enterprise is quote-only with sessions up to 12 hours. The rate depends on the currency you pick on the page, and the two are not conversions of each other: €2.50 per attendee in euros, $3.00 in dollars. Their own definition, worth reading twice because it decides your bill: one credit is spent for each unique participant, per session, over a 12-month period. Someone attending two different sessions costs 2 credits; the same person joining live and later watching the replay of that session counts once. Registrants who never show up cost nothing, and your own team members never consume credits. New since August: the FAQ now says what happens when the pack runs out — you get alerts as you approach the limit, and once you reach it new attendees cannot join a session until you move to a higher yearly tier. What still is not answered anywhere on the page is what becomes of credits you have not used at the twelve-month mark. Always verify the live price.

This is a bet on attendance that you place a year in advance. You buy credits up front — €2.50 each in euros, $3.00 in dollars, set separately rather than converted — and a credit is spent per unique participant per session, so a four-part series to the same 200 people is 800 credits, not 200, which is €2,000. A webinar that does better than expected runs you out, and the page is now clear about what that means: new attendees cannot join until you buy a higher tier. The page publishes the per-attendee rate but never a total. Before you commit, count sessions times expected attendees for the whole year, and ask what happens to unused credits at the twelve-month mark, because the page does not say.

Lucrovox is genuinely best for local service businesses — HVAC, plumbing, roofing, med spas — losing revenue to missed calls who want a 24/7 AI receptionist that books jobs straight into Google Calendar, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan or Jobber. Skip it if your call volume is tiny (100 Starter calls is the whole point) or your callers expect a human — ring their live demo line first and judge the voice yourself.

(re-verified 2026-08-24 on lucrovox.com/#pricing and lucrovox.com/lucrochat, both read in a real browser with the pages fully loaded) The phone agent has three published tiers and the plan table is back on the page: Starter $199 a month for up to 100 AI-handled calls, Pro $499 for up to 500 calls with CRM integration and advanced lead qualification, Enterprise $999 for up to 2,000 calls with white-label branding and multi-location support. Higher volume is quote-only. Starter and Pro carry a 14-day trial, Enterprise 30 days. On our previous reading, 17 August, the pricing page opened with a missed-call ROI calculator and the tier list could not be retrieved at all; it is worth knowing that the plan table on this site comes and goes, and that the calculator's outputs ($500 average job value producing $750 a week and $39,000 a year of lost revenue) are illustrations rather than prices. LucroChat, the website chat product from the same vendor, sits on lucrovox.com/lucrochat with its own table metered on monthly conversations rather than calls: Starter $29 for up to 1,000 conversations on one website, Growth $59 for up to 3,000 conversations on up to three websites, Professional $199 for up to 10,000 conversations on unlimited websites, each with a 14-day trial and no card required. Its own FAQ agrees, describing pricing as starting at $29 a month for 1,000 conversations. One number on that page does not agree with the rest: the ROI calculator above the table reports its result “Based on Growth plan ($99/mo)” while the table prices Growth at $59. Read the plan table, not the calculator. Two products, two meters, one domain — price them separately. Always verify the live price.

The meter is AI-handled calls: Starter’s 100 calls a month is roughly three a day, so a genuinely busy shop outgrows it quickly — and the steps are steep ($199 → $499 → $999). The ‘callers can’t tell it’s AI’ claim is the vendor’s own: they offer a live demo number, so test that before you commit. One more thing to read carefully on the sibling product's page. LucroChat's ROI calculator reports its return “Based on Growth plan ($99/mo)”, while the plan table on the same page prices Growth at $59 a month (both read 24 August 2026). The $99 is the higher of the two, so nobody is being lured with a low number, but a page that quotes two different prices for one plan is a page whose figures you check at checkout rather than take on trust.

ManyChat is genuinely best for creators and brands running comment-to-DM and multi-channel (Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp) marketing funnels — its killer feature works reliably. Skip it if you want true conversational AI support, or you have a fast-growing contact list — the flow logic is rigid and contact-based billing climbs fast.

Read on their own pricing page, 6 September 2026. Free: $0, 25 active contacts, 2 channels, 1 user. Paid tiers are banded by active contacts and priced two ways — month to month, or the lower rate if you pay for the year. Essential $17/mo or $14/mo billed annually ($168, 18% off), 250 contacts, 2 channels, 2 users. Pro $39/mo or $29 annually ($348, 25% off), 2,500 contacts, 3 channels, 3 users. Business $99/mo or $69 annually ($828, 30% off), 7,500 contacts, unlimited channels, 5 users. Advanced $199/mo or $139 annually ($1,668, 30% off), 25,000 contacts, unlimited channels, 10 users. Going over your allowance does not stop your automations: each extra active contact is billed at $0.10, $0.05, $0.025 and $0.004 on monthly billing, or $0.082, $0.038, $0.018 and $0.0028 on annual. Essential and Pro carry a 14-day free trial. Always verify the live price.

Flows are button-and-script based, not natural language — type something unexpected and the bot falls back. The AI add-on is closer to keyword-matching than real conversational AI, billing scales with contacts (a viral Reel can spike your bill), and support is email-only and slow.

MarketerHire is genuinely best for companies that need a vetted senior marketer (growth, paid ads, email, more) matched quickly, without the time and risk of a full-time hire. Skip it if you need cheap, task-level help (a freelance marketplace fits) or you can't yet brief and direct a senior marketer toward a clear goal.

(read 2026-09-01 on marketerhire.com/pricing) No rates are published. The page says there is "no plan to pick and no retainer to guess at" and that after one call you are matched with a marketer "at a budget you agreed to". The terms it does publish: a free consultation with no obligation, a match within 24-48 hours, a two-week refundable trial, and month-to-month billing you can cancel at any time. The retainer tiers reported elsewhere at roughly $5,000, $10,000 and $15,000 a month, and hourly rates of about $100-$200 with 10-20 hour weekly minimums, do not come from MarketerHire and are not on its pricing page; treat them as a historical anchor for sizing the conversation, not as a quote. Always verify the live price.

This is expert freelance talent at expert prices — the value is speed and vetting (their pricing page promises a match within 24-48 hours, against a months-long hire), but it is a real five-figure-a-month commitment for serious engagements, not a cheap gig marketplace. Because it's talent, not software, outcomes depend on the individual and how well you brief them; the rematch guarantee helps, but you still own the strategy. Right when a great marketer would pay for themselves, wrong as a budget stopgap.

Marketing 360 is genuinely best for small businesses that want one vendor handling website, CRM, ads, email and reputation with real humans to help, and prefer done-for-you over DIY. Skip it if you're comfortable assembling your own stack (it'll cost far less), or you need transparent, predictable pricing you can budget upfront.

Quote-based, and deliberately so (verified 6 September 2026 on their own site). Marketing 360 does publish a page called How Plans & Pricing Work, and it carries no prices at all: the only numbers on it are the annual-revenue bands — $0-$250K, $250K-$1M, $1M+ — in the six-question form that stands between you and a quote. Reported core software runs around $395-$419/mo with marketing consultations, but design and custom website work are separate and can run from $2,000 into five figures, and managed ad services layer on top. This review carries no pricing screenshot rather than a placeholder. Get a full written quote. Always verify the live price.

Two honest cautions. Pricing is hidden and quote-driven, and reviewers repeatedly flag that the real cost — software plus design plus managed services — climbs well above the headline, sometimes with recurring fees for features you don't use. And it's an all-in-one "we'll do it for you" model, which is great if you want a single vendor and a human team, but it can mean less flexibility and more lock-in than assembling best-of-breed tools. Ask exactly what's included before signing.

Meeri is genuinely best for small Shopify stores that want a cart-recovery channel which costs almost nothing and takes no commission on what it recovers — and that are willing to treat the free 300 notifications a month as a measurement of their own push opt-in rate before paying anything. Skip it if you need the recovered contacts anywhere other than the browser that opted in, you run recovery through Klaviyo, Postscript or another stack you want this to feed, or you cannot get the usage-based charge on Pro quoted as a rate before you enable it.

(read 2026-08-23 on apps.shopify.com/meeripush-push-notifications, listed as “Meeri Abandoned Cart Recovery”, and on meeritech.com) Two plans, and the free one is a real plan rather than a demo. Basic is free to install and covers up to 300 push notifications a month, which the listing itself translates as roughly 100 recovered carts. It carries unlimited subscribers and segmentation, the abandoned-cart recovery campaign, scheduled promotional campaigns, AI-generated campaign content, intelligent delivery timing and basic email support, and it takes no commission on recovered revenue. Pro is $4.99 a month with a 7-day free trial and adds up to 3,000 push notification impressions, unlimited campaigns and automations and premium support. All charges are billed in USD, and recurring and usage-based charges are billed every 30 days. The plan text says Pro “upgrades as you grow” and that additional usage-based charges are billed every 30 days, without printing a rate anywhere on the listing. The vendor's own site sells the same two tiers at the same prices, calling Basic free forever and Pro's allowance 3,000 notification impressions a month, and it does not print a usage rate either. The app is English-only, works with Shopify Admin and sits in Shopify's abandoned-cart category. Developer MEERI TECH L.L.C-FZ, Dubai; the app launched on 23 February 2024 and carried 9 App Store reviews at the time of writing. Always verify the live price.

Start with the numbers on the vendor's own homepage, because they do not match the App Store. meeritech.com says “5.0 on Shopify App Store”, “100% five-star reviews” and “5.0 average — 8 verified reviews on Shopify”. The listing itself, read the same day, shows 4.6 from 9 reviews: eight at five stars and one at one star. The vendor's figure is what you get if you leave the one-star review out. Nothing about the app is settled by that, but a marketing page that rounds its own rating up by dropping the worst review is a useful thing to know before you weigh the rest of the page. The review base is thin whichever number you use. Nine reviews on an app that launched in February 2024, with the three visible on the listing all from stores trading from Pakistan, and two of them carrying near-identical wording. That is not evidence of anything wrong; it is very little evidence of anything at all, and it cannot tell you how this behaves on a store like yours. Then there is the channel itself, which is the real decision. Web push needs a browser-level subscription, and the app's own pitch is that no email or phone number is required to get one. That cuts both ways: the list is easier to build and worthless off the browser that built it. You cannot export those subscribers into an email tool, you cannot reach them anywhere else, and your recovery ceiling is set by opt-in rate rather than by the app. Measure the opt-in rate first — 300 free notifications a month is enough to find out — because it decides everything the paid plan can do for you. One more limit worth reading before you install: the listing names English as the only language, and Shopify Admin as the only integration. There is no Klaviyo, no email platform, no SMS tool on that line, so this sits beside your existing stack rather than inside it.

MeetGeek is genuinely best for people who run many external meetings and need a searchable record — the summaries earn their keep when you cannot remember which of four calls a detail came from. Skip it if your meetings are internal and few, because the note-taking in your existing conferencing tool covers that; also skip Pro if you record daily, since twenty hours will not last.

(re-verified 2026-09-04, read on their own pricing page in a rendered browser) The page loads on annual billing, so the figures it shows first are the annual ones; both terms are given here. Basic is free with 3 hours of transcription a month. Pro $9.99 per user per month billed annually, $15.99 billed monthly, with 20 hours of transcription. Business $17 per user per month billed annually, $27 billed monthly, with unlimited transcription and team multi-meeting analytics. Enterprise is quote-only: SSO, SCIM, org-wide settings, on-premise storage, custom retention, custom voice agents and a dedicated account manager. Extra transcription hours are $0.50 each. Downloads and exports and admin user management start on Pro, not Business; API and MCP access are listed on the free Basic plan. A 14-day free trial runs on Pro. Always verify the live price.

The meter is transcription hours and Pro gives you twenty a month, which is about an hour a working day. That sounds generous until you count the meetings you would actually record — a sales rep on four calls a day passes it in the first week, and the overage is $0.50 an hour. Unlimited transcription is the real reason to be on Business at $17, so treat Pro as a plan for occasional recording rather than a cheaper version of the same thing. Worth checking before you buy: consent. A recorder that joins every meeting changes what people say in them, and that is a policy decision rather than a pricing one.

Melio is genuinely best for small businesses that want to pay bills by bank transfer or card and get paid, starting free with no subscription. Skip it if you already run AP through robust accounting software with bill-pay built in — a second tool adds little.

(re-verified 2026-08-17 on their own pricing page) A free Go plan, $0 forever, with 5 free ACH payments a month and $0.50 for each one after that. Core is $25/mo, or $20 billed annually, with 20 free ACH a month; Boost $55/mo, or $44 annually, with 50 free ACH; Unlimited $80/mo. The detail our earlier note missed: every paid plan adds $10 a month per additional user, or $8 on annual billing, so a three-person finance team on Core is $45 a month rather than $25. Card payments carry a flat 2.9% fee and check and wire payments have their own charges. There is a 30-day trial. Always verify the live price.

The free plan is genuinely useful for low bill volume, but the value case narrows as you scale into paid tiers — and the 2.9% card fee only makes sense when you're deliberately floating cash on a card for rewards or timing.

MigrationPro is genuinely best for merchants moving an existing store into Shopify who want products, customers, orders and — critically — URLs and 301 redirects preserved, and who would rather pay once than subscribe to a tool they will use for a week. Skip it if you are migrating away from Shopify or between two other platforms, since this only imports into Shopify; or you need a final price before you start and cannot get the add-ons for your source platform quoted up front.

(read 2026-08-23 on apps.shopify.com/migrationpro-shopify-migration-app and migrationpro.io/pricing) The App Store listing prints no number at all. It shows one plan, free to install, with the line “Pricing is tailored to the entities you migrate, with no subscription fees” and a note that all charges are billed in USD. The numbers live on the vendor's own pricing page, which is a calculator: you enter your product, customer and order counts and it quotes you. Two routes are sold there, both as one-time payments rather than subscriptions. The Automated app plan, where you run the migration yourself, starts at $29 based on store size, with add-ons selected and paid individually. The Done-for-you plan, where their team handles mapping, testing and go-live with a dedicated specialist, starts at $300 with every add-on included. Both carry a 30-day guarantee and need no credit card to start, and every migration begins with a free demo of up to 10 products, customers and orders. Their homepage puts a typical store at $49 to $299 based on actual record counts. The app is English-only, migrates from WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, BigCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop, OpenCart, Shopware, Etsy, Amazon, CSV and Excel among others, and covers products, customers, orders, collections, images, URLs and 301 redirects, with Smart Sync to re-import changed data after the main run. Developer Migrationpro, LLC, Dover, Delaware; the app launched on 10 May 2022 and had 178 reviews at a 5.0 average at the time of writing. Always verify the live price.

The listing tells you nothing about what this costs. “Free to install. Additional charges may apply”, and a single plan block saying pricing is tailored to the entities you migrate. To learn a number you have to leave the App Store for the vendor's calculator, and the first number you find there — $29 — is the floor for the smallest store on the self-service route, not the price for yours. Their own homepage says most stores land between $49 and $299. Run the calculator before you form an opinion about value. The add-on structure is the part to pin down in advance. On the automated plan the add-ons are chosen and paid for individually, and the page that says so does not price a single one of them. That is the difference between a $29 migration and an unknown one, and the only way to close it is to ask which add-ons your specific source platform needs before you start. The vendor's marketing also runs ahead of the evidence in one place. migrationpro.io says “TRUSTED BY 250,000+ STORES”. The App Store record behind it is 178 reviews, and excellent ones: a 5.0 average with 173 of them at five stars. But 178 is the number that is independently visible, and a quarter of a million is a claim only the vendor can see. Weigh the reviews, not the banner. One practical limit sits in the reviews themselves rather than the marketing: a merchant migrating a very large catalogue in July 2026 noted plainly that large volumes take a very long time, and that the team helped speed it up. That is a fair description of what data migration is, but if you are moving tens of thousands of records, plan for elapsed days rather than an afternoon, and plan for the trial migration to be the thing that tells you which.

MindStudio is genuinely best for operators and teams that want to build and deploy real AI agents and workflows visually, across many models, without engineering time. Skip it if you need one simple chatbot (simpler tools exist) or deeply custom logic that ends up easier in actual code.

(prices read 2026-08-17 on mindstudio.ai/pricing) The subscription is a floor, not the bill: every tier reads “+ usage”, so model calls are charged on top. Free is $0/month plus usage and caps you at one agent and 1,000 runs a month. Individual is $20/month plus usage, or $16/month plus usage billed yearly, and lifts both caps to unlimited agents and unlimited runs. Business is quote-based. Because the metered part is uncapped, the tier you pick says little about what you will actually pay - the run volume does. Always verify the live price.

The no-markup model pass-through is genuinely fair — but it also means your real cost is subscription PLUS model spend, and an agent that loops or processes big documents burns provider credits invisibly until you set limits. The honest build discipline: start every agent with usage caps, and treat 'no-code' as no-code for the plumbing — the logic design and prompt quality are still entirely on you.

Miro is genuinely best for teams that think visually — brainstorms, flowcharts, retros, workshops and planning on an infinite shared canvas with strong templates and facilitation tools. Skip it if your work is mostly documents or task tracking (a doc or PM tool fits better) or most of your company would only ever need to view, not edit.

(price re-verified 2026-09-02 on miro.com/pricing/) Free plan: 3 editable boards workspace-wide, unlimited members, AI published as a limited trial rather than a credit count. Starter $8/member/mo and Business $20/member/mo, both billed yearly; Enterprise custom priced from 30 members. The yearly toggle is marked save 20%, which puts the monthly rates at $10 and $25. AI credits are published per plan: 25 per member per month on Starter, 50 on Business. MCP calls are a separate published meter: 500 a day on Starter, 2,000 on Business. Currency note: the served page defaults to USD, but rendered from a Dutch connection the same numerals appear as €8 and €20, so the symbol follows the visitor region. Always verify the live price.

Per-member pricing charges for every member added to the workspace, so an org-wide rollout multiplies at full headcount — and the free plan's 3-board cap is workspace-wide, not per person, so real teams outgrow it in days. Model who truly needs to edit before you buy seats.

Mktg.ai is genuinely best for marketing teams with real media spend across channels who want an always-on AI analyst — unified creative visibility, live performance signals and plain-language questions over their own data. It layers on top of your existing platforms rather than replacing them, with the vendor putting real-time data in week one and full onboarding at two to three weeks. Skip it if your ad spend is modest (the value scales with budget waste, and yours is small), or you want transparent self-serve pricing before a sales call.

No public pricing (re-verified 6 September 2026): mktg.ai/pricing still returns 404 and the navigation carries no pricing item, so every route ends at 'Book a Demo'. The tiers themselves are no longer secret, though — the FAQ names Growth and Enterprise above the entry level and describes what they add (dedicated onboarding on both; a dedicated customer success manager, SLA-backed response times and quarterly business reviews on top of that). Email support is on every plan; custom integrations and EU data residency are Enterprise-only, with US data centres the default. The machine-readable llms.txt is Wix boilerplate advertising an MCP endpoint and carries no price either. Rates require a sales conversation. Always verify the live price.

Two honest cautions. First, the price is still hidden — a 404 where the pricing page should be, and no pricing item in the navigation — which for a tool that promises spend transparency is an irony worth noticing, and the FAQ makes it sharper: its own introduction says it covers what the platform costs, and then no answer in it names a figure. What the FAQ does publish is the tier names, Growth and Enterprise, and the fact that EU data residency is Enterprise-only. Second, the ROI story is the vendor's own: the homepage tile assumes a $5M budget and puts a 3% efficiency gain at $150K alongside $100K of reallocated spend, which is 2% of the same budget. Ask for verified case numbers at your spend level on the demo call.

Modelize is genuinely best for Shopify fashion, jewellery and homeware sellers who need consistent on-model, lifestyle or flat-lay imagery across a large catalogue and cannot justify a photographer per drop. Skip it if you need art direction a preset cannot express, photography of the actual physical item in its real texture, or a vendor with a long public track record — this app is four months old.

(read 2026-08-19 on apps.shopify.com/modelize, listed as “Modelize: AI Product Photos”) Free plan available, then Starter $19, Pro $49 and Enterprise $99 a month. The free tier is 3 AI images once, not per month. Starter covers 100 images a month with 3 AI custom presets and 3 custom models, at standard 2K resolution and email support. Pro at $49 covers 250 images, 10 custom presets and 10 custom models, resolution up to 4K and priority support. Enterprise at $99 includes 500 images with $0.20 per additional image, unlimited custom presets and models, maximum 4K and dedicated support. On modelize.studio the same tiers are also sold annually at two months free, but only on Free, Starter and Pro — Enterprise is monthly billing only. All charges are billed in USD and recur every 30 days. Rating 5.0 from 13 App Store reviews. Developer Optify, Lyon, France; the app launched 20 April 2026 and carries Shopify's “Built for Shopify” badge. Always verify the live price.

The economics are flat: at roughly $0.19 to $0.20 an image on every tier, moving up the ladder buys resolution, custom presets and support, never a cheaper image. Read it that way and the pricing is honest; read it as a volume discount and you will overbuy. Two other things deserve a clear head. The output quality rides on Google's Gemini image models rather than on anything Modelize owns, so results and consistency can shift when Google ships a new version, and that is outside the vendor's control as much as yours. And the app is genuinely new — launched 20 April 2026, 13 reviews at the time of writing — so the five-star average is a small sample, not a track record. Finally, an on-model photo generated by AI shows a person who does not exist; check what your ad platforms and marketplaces require you to disclose before you build a catalogue on it.

Modge is genuinely best for desk-bound remote or hybrid teams of a few to a few hundred people who want time tracking, app classification, shift adherence, leave and payroll-ready timesheets in one seat priced between $4 and $7 a month, and who are happy to run screenshots as an opt-in rather than a default. Skip it if you need SSO or a SOC 2 report today, both are marked soon; your people work in the field, since the agent is desktop-only with no mobile or GPS on the page; or your security team will not accept a compliance claim without a document.

(read 2026-09-03 on modge.com/pricing, both billing toggles and the comparison table) Per-seat plans with a full-feature 14-day trial and no card. Basic is $5 per seat per month billed monthly or $4 billed annually: app and URL tracking with AI productivity classification, workforce dashboards, automatic time tracking with optional screenshots, timesheets, approvals and payroll exports, invoice creation, email and chat support. Pro is $7 monthly or $5.50 annually and adds shifts, scheduling and adherence, leave, breaks and overtime, client billing through Stripe, on-demand screenshots with 12-month retention, and custom roles, teams and project budgets. Premium, marked popular, is $9 monthly or $7 annually and adds automated project and task time tracking, workflow analysis, suspicious-activity and mouse-jiggler detection, burnout-risk and profitability insights, contract signing, 24-month screenshot retention and a dedicated account manager. Enterprise is custom, on annual billing with volume pricing, custom retention, customised onboarding and an SLA. Two add-ons are priced per seat: More Screenshots at $2 a month lifts capture from 18 to 60 an hour on Basic, Pro and Premium; Extended Data Retention at $2 a month or $1.67 annually keeps records for six years on every tier. The comparison table lists screenshot retention as 3 months on Basic, 12 on Pro and 24 on Premium, and marks SSO (SAML 2.0), SOC 2 Type II and ISO 9001 as soon. Always verify the live price.

The numbers on Modge's own pages do not agree with each other. The homepage says trusted by 1,000+ teams, the affiliate page says 1,800+ teams, the pricing page says over 2,000 users; the pricing page also shows three star ratings, 4.6 from 1,500 reviews, 4.8 from 2,000 and 4.2 from 800, without naming a single platform they come from. None of that touches the product, but it is the kind of copy a buyer should not repeat in a business case. What does touch the product is the comparison table: SSO through SAML 2.0, SOC 2 Type II and ISO 9001 are all marked soon, and HIPAA compliant appears with no report behind it. If your security review needs a document today, there is none to hand over. The desktop agent is macOS and Windows only, and the pricing page mentions no mobile app or GPS, so field teams are out of scope.

Momence is genuinely best for class-based businesses — studios, gyms, salons, schools — that want scheduling, memberships, payments and marketing in one system with a member app. Skip it if you only need a simple calendar-booking link (a lightweight scheduler is cheaper) or you won't accept platform fees on top of card processing.

(re-verified 2026-09-06 on the vendor's own pricing page) The tiers render in plain text again: Basic $0/mo with a 5% Momence fee on every transaction plus 4% passed to the client; Pro $60/mo with your fee halved to 2.5%; Custom $199/mo with no Momence fee, unlimited add-ons and dedicated support. Basic and Pro carry an identical exclusion list in their card tooltips — no add-ons, no phone number, no inbox, no retail products, no reporting or insights, no staff members, no locations — so Pro buys a lower commission and nothing else. Card processing is charged separately and published per country: US 3.9% + $0.30 online, 3.7% + $0.05 in person, 1.8% ACH; UK 2.5% + 20p, 2.4% + 10p, 2% + 20p BACS; Australia 2.75% + A$0.30, 2.75% + A$0.10, 2% + A$0.30 BECS; Canada 3.9% + C$0.30, 3.7% + C$0.05, 2% + C$0.40. One change since our August readings: on 15 and 19 August 2026 these cards were rendered and then covered by a lead form and a blur filter, so the figures existed in the page but were unreadable until you handed over your details. That gate is gone. Always verify the live price.

The 'free' plan is the most expensive one once you have real volume: a 5% commission on every sale overtakes Pro's $60 flat fee around $29k a year in processed revenue, and Pro in turn loses to the $199 Custom plan above about $67k a year. Pick your tier by volume, not by sticker — and note what the middle tier does not include. The tooltip on the Pro card lists the same exclusions as the free plan: no add-ons, no phone number, no inbox, no retail products, no reporting or insights, no staff members, no locations. Pro halves your commission and adds no features.

monday.com is genuinely best for teams who want one visual system for projects and work, and who will actually use the automations and views that justify the per-seat price at Standard or above. Skip it if you are two or three people who need a shared list. The free tier caps at 2 seats and 3 boards, and paying per seat for views you will not use is the most common way this gets expensive. Also skip it if you only want the CRM, since that is a separate subscription and worth pricing against dedicated CRMs.

(read 2026-08-26 on monday.com/pricing over a US connection, at their default of 10 seats on yearly billing) Free covers two seats. Basic is $9 per seat a month, a total of $90; Standard $12, down from $14, for $120 instead of $140; Pro $19, down from $22, for $190 instead of $220. Enterprise is quoted. The seat count is the thing to watch: the per-seat figure moves with team size, so a price read at ten seats is not what three or fifty will cost. Yearly billing is marked as 18% off, and each paid tier carries its own monthly AI-credit allowance rather than selling AI separately. Always verify the live price.

The seat price is not the product price. monday sells four products — Work Management, CRM, Dev and Service — each on its own subscription, and the $9 you see first is the cheapest tier of one of them. A sales team that wants the CRM is buying a second subscription on top of whatever Work Management costs, with a three-seat minimum of its own. The second number to find before you commit is the automation cap. Standard allows 250 automation actions a month across the whole account. If you are buying monday because of the automations you saw demoed, 250 is roughly one workflow running a few times a day — and the next step up is Pro at $19 a seat against Standard's $12. Free is capped at two seats and three boards, which makes it a preview rather than a plan.

Moosend is genuinely best for small businesses and marketers who want affordable email marketing and automation with a low entry price, a real free trial and a clean drag-and-drop builder. Skip it if you run a very large list where per-subscriber pricing adds up, or you only need transactional/API email — a developer-focused sender is cheaper for that.

(re-verified 2026-09-06) A 30-day free trial with no credit card. Pro is priced by list size across 21 steps from 500 to 1,000,000 contacts, quoted monthly, biannually (sold as 15% off) or annually (sold as 20% off). At 500 contacts it is $9 monthly, $8 biannual and $7 annual. The ladder is not monotonic per contact: paid annually, 8,000 contacts is $51 a month against $70 at 10,000, 75,000 is $333 against $499 at 100,000, and 500,000 is $2,317 against $2,829 at 600,000 — three steps up the slider that cost more per head than the step below them. The discounts round to whole dollars and so land short at small sizes: at 1,000 contacts $16 monthly becomes $14 biannual (12.5% off) and $13 annual (18.75% off). Instead of a subscription you can buy email credits outright with no expiry: 350,000 for $350, 500,000 for $500, 750,000 for $750 and 1,000,000 for $1,000 — a flat $0.001 per email with no volume discount. Above Pro the page shows Moosend+ (a custom plan assembled from add-ons: dedicated IPs, transactional emails, audience discovery, custom dashboards, hosted files, extra team members, SSO and SAML) and Enterprise, both quote-only. Always verify the live price.

The friendly $7-9 headline is the entry rate at the smallest list size (500 contacts), and the ladder above it does not fall smoothly: paid annually, 8,000 contacts costs $51 a month while 10,000 costs $70, so a list of 9,000 sits on the wrong side of the sharpest jump on the slider. The same reversal repeats at 100,000 and at 600,000. Read the comparison table before you assume Pro covers you, too: transactional emails, SSO and SAML, a dedicated IP, hosted files and an account manager are Moosend+ add-ons or Enterprise rather than included.

Motive is genuinely best for fleets large enough that ELD compliance and dash-cam evidence are already costing you money, and who will negotiate a quote rather than accept the first one. Skip it if you run a handful of vehicles and want to know the price before a sales call — that is not available here, and competitors in this category do publish per-vehicle rates.

(2026-08-30, read on their own pricing page) No prices are shown. gomotive.com/pricing resolves to a lead-capture form at /get-in-touch/?id=pricing — a four-step email capture before any figure appears, preceded by a geolocation prompt offering the UK site. No per-vehicle rate, no plan names with amounts, no contract length and no hardware cost is published on the pricing page, the Pro plan page or the products overview. Always verify the live price.

A pricing page with a form where the prices should be. That is the finding, and it matters more in fleet than in software generally. The real cost here is not a monthly rate: it is hardware per vehicle, a contract term that is usually multi-year, and an early-termination position you will not hear about until you want out. None of that is public. Before the demo call, decide your own numbers: vehicles, contract length you will accept, and what you currently pay per truck. In a quote-only category the first number you hear is anchored to what they think you can pay, not to a rate card.

MRPeasy is genuinely best for small manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors who want dependable production planning and inventory control without a heavy ERP or a dedicated IT team. Skip it if you're a large or highly complex manufacturer, or you need deep customisation, advanced analytics and forecasting — MRPeasy is built for simplicity, not complexity.

(re-verified 2026-08-24 on their own pricing page) Four tiers, per user per month: Starter $49, Professional $69, Enterprise $99 and Unlimited $149. Only Unlimited carries a two-user minimum. We had that minimum down as applying to every tier; MRPeasy's partnerships team wrote on 24 August 2026 that it applies to Unlimited alone, and their pricing page prints minimum 2 users under that one plan and nowhere else. Those four rates are what you pay month to month. Pay for a year and one month is free, which the vendor works out as effective rates of Starter $44.92, Professional $63.25, Enterprise $90.75 and Unlimited $136.58; the monthly and annual toggle did not change a single figure on the page when we clicked it in either direction, so those four are the vendor's arithmetic and not our own reading. Mind the currency, because it is not a conversion: the same pricing page served our European browser 39, 59, 79 and 125 euro per user per month on 24 August 2026, with the user bundle at 69 euro, which is about a fifth under the dollar list. Check what your own checkout quotes before you budget. All plans include unlimited orders and items. The scaling rule is unusual and worth understanding. The first 10 users pay the tier rate, and from the 11th user you add flat $79 bundles of 10 users. So 11 to 20 users is the base price plus $79, 21 to 30 is plus $158, 31 to 40 plus $237, and so on. Expert support is a separate purchase: one hour a month at $199 billed quarterly ($229 for a single month), two hours at $299 ($349 single) and four hours at $499 ($579 single), with training at $150 an hour. Always verify the live price.

Paying ~$50 per user just so a shop-floor worker can clock in and out feels steep when they'll touch a fraction of the features. Customisation and reporting are limited, and there's no advanced demand forecasting or AI — so larger or highly complex manufacturers will outgrow it.

Murf is genuinely best for creators, trainers and product teams that need studio-quality voiceovers in many languages without booking voice actors — explainers, courses, product videos. Skip it if you need real emotional acting range for premium brand work (humans still win), or your volume is tiny enough that free TTS built into your video tool suffices.

(re-verified 2026-08-17 in a browser; the page renders client-side and opens on annual billing, so check which column you are reading) Studio plans: Free $0 for 10 projects, 10 minutes of voice generation and one editor, with no downloads and no commercial rights. Creator $19/mo billed annually ($228 a year): 100 projects, 24 hours of voice generation a year, 1 editor, all 200+ voices, unlimited downloads and commercial rights. Business $66/mo billed annually ($792 a year): 500 projects, 96 hours of generation a year, business licence, PowerPoint integration and audio-to-text. Enterprise is custom and is where voice cloning, SSO and AI translation sit. Annual billing is advertised as saving 33%. Dub and the API are separate products with their own pricing — Murf's own homepage advertises API voice generation from $0.01 a minute, which is a different meter from the Studio hour allowances above. Always verify the live price.

The meter is generation hours per YEAR, not per month — 24 hours sounds generous until you count retakes, and regenerating a script three times bills three times. Voice quality is genuinely strong, but the honest test for any TTS is your specific language, names and jargon: generate your hardest paragraph in the trial before subscribing, because demo voices always sound better than your edge cases.

Mycroft is genuinely best for companies chasing an attestation they cannot staff for — CMMC or FedRAMP to keep bidding on defence and public-sector work, SOC 2 or ISO 27001 to get through enterprise procurement — that would rather buy the platform, the security stack and the people who operate it on one contract than assemble a GRC tool, a pen tester, a vCISO and a monitoring vendor separately and hold them together themselves. Skip it if you already have a security team and only need the evidence-collection and control-monitoring layer, because the managed half is most of what you would be paying for; or you need to compare cost before capability, because nothing here is priced anywhere and every tier ends in a sales conversation.

(read 4 September 2026 on www.mycroft.io/pricing) Mycroft has no public pricing: three packages, and not one number between them. Platform is the entry tier and the only one whose button says Get started rather than something sales-shaped; it bundles the full GRC platform for SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA and more, a Cloud Native Application Protection Platform, security, AI and privacy awareness training, 24/7/365 threat intelligence and monitoring, a Trust Center, and what Mycroft calls basic Agentic AI workflows. Scale says Book a demo and adds penetration testing, continuous third-party risk management, a customer success manager and expanded AI workflows. Managed says Talk to sales and adds customised frameworks, customised AI workflows and a dedicated CISO who doubles as your success manager. What the page never does is price any of it: no monthly figure, no per-seat rate, no starting-from, no annual floor, not even for the tier you are invited to start by yourself. We looked past the pricing page before writing that down, because the claim is usually wrong. The FAQ page, the product pages, the CMMC-as-a-Service page and the machine-readable llms.txt all describe the packages in detail and none of them names an amount; the sitemap holds no second pricing page; and the raw HTML of /pricing carries no hidden figure either. So the tiers tell you exactly what you get and leave what you pay entirely to a call. Always verify the live price.

The pricing page is a feature list with the prices taken out, and that is a choice rather than an oversight — Mycroft publishes what is in each package down to the individual capability, then stops short of the one line you came for. It matters more here than it would elsewhere, because what Mycroft sells is not a seat of software: it is a platform bundled with a managed service, secure enclaves, infrastructure and identity management, an audit coordinated on your behalf and, at the top, a dedicated CISO. That is a services contract, and services contracts scope on your environment, so the number genuinely will differ per company. It also means you cannot sanity-check the cost against doing it yourself until you have sat through a demo. The second thing to weigh is how much of the evidence is the vendor talking. What you can verify from outside is a handful of named case studies — SmashSend, Weave, Wisedocs, Unified — and the quotes inside them; there is no published customer count and no independent review base to read. The team is not thin: the CEO holds a CISA, the engineering co-founder a CISSP, and the product co-founder co-founded PartnerStack. But a young company promising CMMC and FedRAMP outcomes is asking for trust on a timeline where being wrong is expensive. Ask what happens if the assessment does not pass, and ask it before the second call.

Navan is genuinely best for companies that want self-serve travel booking with built-in policy control — genuinely free — and optionally unified expense management on top. Skip it if your travel volume is a few trips a year (any booking site does), or you need expense-only tooling without the travel layer.

Navan publishes no price list, re-verified 2026-08-17: the pricing URL is a marketing page and neither our July nor our August 2026 capture retrieved an amount. What we can state from our dated reading is the shape. Business Travel is genuinely free to the customer, funded by travel-supplier commissions, and includes booking, policy enforcement and basic expense capture. The Expense product is free for the first 15 users and then charged per user per month, which our reading put at around $15. Enterprise is custom for larger organisations. Because the travel side is commission-funded, the question to ask is not what it costs but what it steers — confirm that your negotiated rates and preferred suppliers survive the policy engine. Always verify the live price.

'Free' is real but has a mechanism: Navan earns commission on bookings made through its inventory, so the platform's incentive is that your travel flows through Navan — pricing on specific routes/hotels deserves an occasional spot-check against direct booking. The paid expense tier is where unified T&E gets real; the 15-free-users threshold makes the trial honest for small teams.

NeuroAds is genuinely best for small and mid-size Shopify stores that want a multilingual, catalogue-aware chat widget with product cards, order tracking and add-to-cart, and want to judge it on the genuinely usable free tier of 200 conversations a month. Skip it if you need a support desk with a track record, you cannot budget against a 'conversation' nobody has defined, or routing customer names, phone numbers and addresses through a ten-week-old vendor is not a trade you want to make.

(read 2026-08-19 on apps.shopify.com/neuroads-chatbot) Four tiers, priced by conversations per month. Free: 200 conversations, AI answers about products, collections and orders, rich product cards with add-to-cart, order status and tracking in chat, replies in the shopper's language. Starter $19 a month: 800 conversations, plus live human takeover and discount codes offered in chat, 7-day free trial. Growth $49 a month or $468 a year (save 20%): 3,000 conversations, plus a revenue and ROAS dashboard, A/B testing on the chat greeting, answer insights and Klaviyo, 7-day free trial. Unlimited $119 a month or $1,142 a year (save 20%): unlimited conversations, WhatsApp and Klaviyo, advanced reporting with CSV export, chat-only discount codes, removal of the 'Powered by NeuroAds' label, a year of conversation history and dedicated onboarding, 7-day free trial. All charges are billed in USD and recur every 30 days. Two things the pricing table does not settle. What counts as one conversation — a shopper session, a thread, a single message — is defined nowhere, and it is the only unit the whole ladder is built on. And the listing summary advertises a 30-day trial while every paid plan in the table shows seven days. Developer NEUROAD VENTURES LLC of Newport Beach, California; the app launched 5 June 2026 and has six App Store reviews. Always verify the live price.

The app is ten weeks old. It launched on 5 June 2026 and, as of 19 August 2026, has six reviews — all five stars, all posted between 7 and 15 August, by merchants who had had it installed for five, eleven and thirteen days. Nothing about that is suspicious on its face; new apps have new reviews. But six enthusiastic first impressions from people two weeks in tell you the setup is smooth and tell you nothing about what happens when the bot gets a refund question wrong in month four. On the same page, Shopify Inbox is free with 5,488 reviews. The listing contradicts itself on the trial. The summary at the top of the page promises a 30-day trial; the pricing table shows a 7-day free trial on all three paid plans. Assume seven days, because that is the number in the row you actually click, and check it in the charge screen before you rely on a month. And look at what it asks for. This app requests names, email addresses, phone numbers and physical addresses of your customers, plus geolocation and IP, sixty days of order history, your discount codes and your store pages. That is a defensible list for a bot that tracks orders and offers codes, and it is also a lot of customer data to route through a ten-week-old company on the strength of six reviews. Read the privacy policy, and check where the conversations are stored, before you switch it on for a store with EU shoppers.
