How to read this: "From" is the cheapest paid plan billed monthly, and "Yearly" is the cheapest per-month price when billed annually. Credits and limits differ a lot between tools, so open a tool to compare what you actually get. "unverified" means we couldn't read that number on the official page this week, so we show nothing instead of guessing.

What changed this week.

One short email every week: price changes, new free tiers and the deals actually worth it. No hype.
