Monthly price before VAT on the cheapest plan that fits, free plans included. Billing period is marked in each row. Currencies are not converted, so a tool billed in another currency sits after the others. “Not read” means we have no reading at that exact size and will not estimate one. No price here was read before 5 November 2026.

Every price has an age
A software price means little without the date it was true. Here each blip is one tool. The closer to the centre, the fresher the reading. At the rim, it is due again. Move across the sonar, or tap it, to read any tool.
We open each price list in a browser, set the size and write down what it says, with the date. How the reading works
Who holds your data
“GDPR ready” on a marketing page says little about where your data ends up. Each boat is a tool, moored where its legal documents put your data. Pick one to see the source.
