Questions readers ask
- Why do software prices on Tools Ledger have dates?
- Software prices change often and without much notice. A price with a date tells you when it was true, so you can tell whether it still is.
- What is per-seat pricing?
- A price charged for each user, or seat, every month or year. A tool at $20 a seat costs a five-person team $100 a month.
- What is usage-based pricing?
- A price that rises with how much you use the tool, such as emails sent, contacts stored or AI credits spent, instead of a flat fee for each user.
