How this list is scored

Entry price only matters next to what the entry plan tracks, so every tool below shows its prompt allowance, engines and trial next to the price.

  • x1 Prompts per price. Is the prompt allowance clear and fair for the entry price?
  • x1 Engine coverage. How many AI engines does the entry plan include, without paid add-ons? 5 or more is Yes, 3 to 4 Partial, 2 or fewer No.
  • x1 Public pricing and trial. Are prices public, with a trial or free tier?

Yes scores 1, Partial 0.5, No or not documented 0, times the weight. Data from each vendor's own pages, verified on 23 to 24 September 2026.
