How the price is worked out

Each tool is priced at its cheapest plan whose stated limits cover your usage. We use only the tiers on the vendor's own pricing page, never a number in between. A free plan counts only when its limits are published and fit. A plan without a published limit for your usage is not guessed: the tool is listed under "can't be priced at this usage" instead. "You give up" comes from the plan each feature starts on, as stated by the vendor; where the vendor doesn't say, we say nothing.
