How this index is built
The index covers every tool in our AI tools rankings. For each one we copy the price of the cheapest paid plan, word for word, from the vendor's pricing page as shown to US visitors, and record the date. The median uses only verified prices above zero. The free plan share counts permanent free plans, not trials.
Vendors price in different units, so a $10 per user plan and a $10 per account plan are not the same deal. Use the table to compare like with like. Questions or corrections: editorial@rankozo.com.
