How public marketing plans are structured.

496 tools (63.3%) expose at least one plan classified as free. 0 (0%) include a usage-based plan, and 1 (0.1%) include at least one public “contact sales” label.

Groups overlap: one product can expose free, monthly, usage-based, and quote-based options. Counts describe active public labels, not negotiated prices or a complete total-cost estimate.

Buyer lens

Use the benchmark as a starting point.

Audience size, sends, channels, and annual commitments often matter more than the advertised entry price.

Every underlying listing retains its official pricing URL and verification time. Regional taxes, promotions, negotiated contracts, and unpublished limits are outside this aggregate.
