About & data methodology

How we collect prices, what "hidden fees" means here, and why you can trust the data.

SaaSFor exists to make SaaS pricing legible. Pricing pages bury per-seat math, usage overages and add-on fees; older directories list tools but no prices, and price changes go unnoticed until renewal. We track the real cost of 1,000+ tools, record how prices change over time, and map every alternative — so choosing, switching and budgeting becomes a decision you can defend.

Our one rule: every price is sourced and dated, hidden fees are stated as fact (not opinion), and affiliate links never affect rankings, ratings or which alternatives we show.

How we collect prices

1

Source from the official page

Prices come from each vendor's official pricing page. We record the source URL and the date the figure was captured.

2

Update weekly

An automated job re-checks prices weekly and writes each reading to a time-series, so the price-history curve grows over time. We never discard old data points.

3

Human review for changes

When a price change or a scrape failure is detected, it goes to a human review queue before publishing. If a scrape fails, we keep the last known price and label it "data delayed — verify with vendor."

4

Flag hidden fees factually

Per-seat billing, usage overages and add-ons are noted only when they appear in official terms, phrased as facts — e.g. "per official pricing, AI is +$8/seat/mo" — never as judgements.

What we don't do

Affiliate & neutrality disclosure

Some "Visit site" links are affiliate links and we may earn a commission if you sign up. This supports the project but has no effect on prices shown, ratings, ranking, or which alternatives appear. Where a tool has no affiliate program, it's listed and ranked identically.

Found an outdated price?

Accuracy is the whole point. If a price looks wrong, report it here with the tool and the correct figure — these go straight to our review queue. Prices are always "as of" the date shown; treat the vendor's page as the source of truth.
