What it means

If you are about to renew, compare the price you signed with the page today: panel tools do change between months.

Main limitation

The tools we can read automatically, two reviewed rounds so far; differences are only price changes after review.

The same 78 tools, every month: what their pricing page shows, whether it moved, and the terms that decide what you actually pay. The panel was fixed on 2026-10-07 and does not grow, so month-to-month counts compare like with like. Price Watch covers every tool we review; this panel is the part we can compare cleanly.

Month by month

“Confirmed change” means a person read the captured lines of both months and found a real price change (the type is in brackets). “Reviewed: no price change” means the amounts on the page differed but the review found something else: a currency switch, a toggle, a failed capture. “Awaiting review” differences are not counted as changes.

The panel

Method

Captures: our Price Watch reads each tool’s pricing page at the start of every month and keeps every amount it can read. The panel is the 78 tools whose pages had readable amounts in August, September and October 2026; it was fixed on 2026-10-07 and tools are never added later. A tool whose page stops being readable stays in the panel as “not comparable”.

Changes: for each pair of months, identical sets of amounts count as unchanged. Different sets go to review, where a person reads the captured lines of both months; only then does a difference become a confirmed price change, with its type (increase, decrease, restructure, withdrawn). The review is the same one behind Report 04 and Price Watch.

Terms: entry price and plan, per-seat pricing, usage meter, required annual contract, free plan and quote-only pricing come from our hand-researched dossiers, with the dossier’s reading date. AI access and export options are not recorded in a structured way yet and say so; we do not fill them in by guessing.
