▶ How this works
We match tools to tasks by what they are actually for, then rank free tiers first and cheaper plans ahead of dearer ones. No sponsored placements, no invented scores. Pricing and free-tier detail were verified against each vendor's own page in August 2026, see the full pricing comparison or tally what you already pay in the subscription auditor.
