What AI tools' pricing pages actually show, tracked from source

First snapshot 2026-10-07 · re-scanned when content changes ship · machine-readable data

This page records what 60 vendor pricing pages displayed on the day we fetched them: 699 price-like strings observed across 44 pages, 16 pages rendered no readable figures in raw HTML at all, and 3 refused our fetch. It is a drift record, not a price list: the same pages re-fetched over time show which vendors change pricing, how often, and whether the page a buyer sees matches the page a comparison site quoted. What a page displays is an observation; our verified price claims live on each tool's profile with a check date and a source.

Reading the table

"Prices observed" lists distinct price-like strings the page contained, verbatim, capped at five. A dash means the raw HTML carried no figures: most pricing pages compute totals in JavaScript, so the fetched document is a shell. That is itself the finding for a machine reader: a crawler or an AI assistant quoting those vendors without executing JavaScript is quoting nothing. Every string ships with 120 characters of surrounding context in the machine-readable data, so any extraction can be audited against its page.

Method

  1. Fetch each tracked vendor's pricing page (the exact URLs cited as price sources in our tool index) with our research user-agent.
  2. Record HTTP status, final URL after redirects, and a sha256 prefix of the body, so an unexplained change is detectable before prices are re-extracted.
  3. Extract price-like strings with a documented regex (stored with surrounding context for human audit); extraction is observational, not a price claim.
  4. Observed strings are not our price facts: money claims enter tool YAMLs only after Ray's verdict. This dataset tracks what pages display.
  5. One vantage point; geo-priced pages may render non-USD currencies. Recorded as observed.

Extraction regex: (?:USD|EUR|GBP|AUD)?\s?[$€£]\s?\d{1,6}(?:[.,]\d{1,2})?(?:\s?\/\s?(?:mo|month|user|seat|yr|year)|\s?(?:per\s+)?(?:mo|month|user\/?mo|seat|yr|year)\b\.?) — deliberately broad, because precision comes from the stored context, not the pattern. Vantage: TestedActually build machine, datacenter IP, 2026-10-07. Geo-priced vendors may render non-USD figures to other vantages; we record what our fetch displayed and nothing more.

Limitations

Reproduce

The scanner is a single script (scripts/price-drift-scan.mjs) in the site's repository; each run appends one dated snapshot to /research/price-drift.json, no manual edits.
