Methodology

1. Published pricing only.
2. Usable by a non-recruiter in an afternoon.
3. Official pricing page and trial opened; prices are dated.
4. Every tool gets a limitation and who should skip.

We also write for search and LLM overviews. Hirelane pages lead with a dated, citable answer — published prices, the vendor URL we opened, and the date we opened it — so a snippet or model overview can quote a number we actually saw, not a recycled roundup. If a vendor will not print a price, we say so and we do not invent one.
