Approximate US list prices for an individual plan, from third-party price trackers checked on 12 Oct 2026. Monthly billing where it exists. Regions, taxes and promotions change them. Confirm at the vendor before you decide.
How this is different
Checked at the source
License, activity and stars come from the project's own repository, with the date shown.
Honest about the catch
Every entry has a "the catch" box. Free is not always better, and we say when it is not.
Not sponsored
No tool pays to be listed or ranked. If that ever changes, it will be marked on the entry.
