How the TopTechTrends trackers collect, check and update their data.
AI Tool Radar
- Source: each tool’s official pricing page.
- Schedule: checked once a day.
- What we record: every self-serve plan, its price per month when billed monthly and when billed yearly, the free tier and key features.
- Entry price: the cheapest paid plan for one person, billed monthly. If a tool only lists a yearly price, we show its monthly equivalent.
- Currency: we only publish prices shown in US dollars. If a page shows another currency or hides its prices, we skip that day’s update and keep the last confirmed price.
- Price changes: when the entry price moves, the tool is flagged as changed for seven days and the old and new prices are shown.
Funding Pulse
