Software pricing dataset

One record per tool: entry price, free plan, free trial, pricing model, AI feature and billing model, rating, category, every comparison and migration guide it appears in, and the date and source page each figure was verified on.

AI pricing dataset

How each vendor actually charges for AI — bundled free, flat-fee add-on, metered by credit or resolution, or custom quote — with the plain-English detail of what that means on your invoice.

Comparison index

Every head-to-head comparison and migration guide on HelpCompare, with the tools each one covers and when it was last verified — the edge list of the graph.

Price history

Point-in-time snapshots of the cheapest published entry price in each category, captured on a rolling schedule so price drift can be measured rather than guessed.

How the data is produced

Every figure originates on a HelpCompare comparison page, where it was recorded from vendor pricing pages and documentation at the time of research. The datasets above are generated from those pages, so each record carries verified (the date it was last checked) and the slug of the comparison it came from. Nothing is modelled, estimated or filled in — where a vendor does not publish a number, the field is null and the tool is marked as quote-only or percentage-priced.

Known limits

  • Entry price is a floor, not a forecast. It is the cheapest published seat or plan, before add-ons, minimum seat counts and annual-billing discounts. Several tools cost far more in practice; the comparison pages model that.
  • Quote-only vendors are not estimated. Tools without public pricing carry a null price rather than a guess.
  • Ratings are point-in-time. Aggregate ratings and review counts were captured during research and are not refreshed continuously.
  • Coverage is deliberate, not exhaustive. We track tools we have researched head-to-head rather than listing every product in a category.
Using this data in something public? We would rather you cite it than scrape it — the JSON is stable, versioned by its generated timestamp, and served with permissive CORS so you can fetch it straight from the browser.
