How this page was put together
Only tools with an affiliate-program feature on some plan, sorted by the lowest paid monthly price. Check the plan named in the row: on some tools it starts above the lowest plan.
Prices are each vendor's own list prices in US dollars before tax, for the lowest paid plan. Features come from the vendors' public pricing and help pages, linked in every cell. The monthly check re-reads those pages; a page whose data is older than 45 days is taken down until it is checked again. Spot something wrong? Send a correction.
