questions
Frequently asked
›Why group plans by price bucket instead of by vendor?
Because that's how people actually shop: you have a budget in mind and want to know what each vendor gives you at that number. Buckets put the true alternatives next to each other.
›Are annual prices included?
Where a vendor publishes an annual rate, we show the effective monthly equivalent next to the monthly price. The headline number is always month-to-month billing.
›Do these plans include API credits?
Generally no — chat subscriptions and API pay-as-you-go are separate bills at almost every vendor. Coding plans (like Claude Max or GLM Coding) meter agent usage inside the plan instead.
›How often are plans checked?
Last verification was 2026-08-31. Vendors add and reprice tiers frequently; the changelog lists every change we record.
