Re-verified monthly · last check Aug 29, 2026
Every price on this page was read off the vendor's own pricing page by us, on the date shown — never lifted from a roundup, a review site, or an AI summary. That distinction is not pedantry: this month we found a plan still quoted across 2026 buying guides that no longer exists, and live prices a full tier above the numbers circulating secondhand. Prices rot. Dates are the preservative.
Each tool here has been through our lab or is in the queue; where a review exists, it's linked. Promos are listed with the expiry the vendor stated — if the date has passed, assume the promo has too. Pricing your own services instead? That's the pricing worksheet.
The books themselves. All four ran identical sample books in our lab.
