$20/mo, billed monthly is the default on this page.

$200/yr, billed annually is the default on this page.

Default is the most common listed individual price on this page, not a usage ranking. Monthly prices use the verified monthly price. Annual prices use the verified annual total. A plan with no verified annual total uses the monthly price times 12 and is labelled monthly only. Comparable means the same audience and the same unit, per plan or per seat. Limits are not matched.

Prices are subtracted only for the same audience and the same unit. Plans outside that pair are left out of this list.

No cheaper verified plan in the same audience and unit is on this page when a list has no Save line.

Haus Research,

Perplexity’s report was quite short and lacked the depth and analysis provided by the other AIs.

Perplexity tries to do the first pass of the research for you.
