Start with your task. Keep your budget.
Build a shortlist from your task, budget and existing plan. A private, browser-based check of documented conditions, not an account eligibility test.
Find a starting point, not a winner
Choose the task and your total monthly subscription budget. For a US reference check, the tool returns the lowest listed matching plan from each provider. It does not rank answer quality, estimate task capacity or recommend combining all the plans.
Outside the United States, it shows options to verify locally without deciding affordability from US prices. “Research” means general research assistance, not a guaranteed Deep Research quota. The Docs option means writing and summarizing inside Google Docs. Plus has other Google-app benefits; some US personal Gmail AI features are free. This is not a blanket Google-feature eligibility test.

Choose your conditions to begin. No sample budget is assumed.
Your choices stay in this browser tab. This checker does not send them to an AI service, save them to a server or connect to your accounts. Ordinary site analytics and hosting still follow the site's privacy policy.
How the shortlist is produced
- Match the documented task and surface, not a subjective performance score.
- For US checks, retain reviewed prices at or below your total budget and show the lowest matching plan per provider, alphabetically.
- Keep unknown or overdue prices out of affordability decisions. Link to the provider for verification.
- Show the selected existing plan separately. It may not meet your task or budget, and this tool cannot confirm your entitlement.
Higher tiers can differ in capacity and features. “Lowest matching” is not “enough for unlimited use.” Business accounts, API-only projects, regional offers, trials and age eligibility need separate checking.
Evidence and update policy
This independent reference is checked against provider documentation during editorial preparation, with software assistance. It is not an account-level test or a head-to-head benchmark. Prices, access notes and updates share one catalog, so a reviewed correction can flow to all five pages. Fetching a page or saving an edit does not, by itself, renew its verification date.
Each record has an explicit review deadline, no more than seven days after its check. Overdue records are labeled and excluded from price-based recommendations. Offers with an explicit expiry stop displaying as active after that time. Missing evidence means “not verified,” not “free,” “unavailable” or “no incident.”
Official sources establish documented terms; your provider account and local checkout establish your actual access and charge. We do not inspect either. There is no universal model ranking, automated publication of scraped claims or promise of continuous human coverage.
