How we compiled this
Published self-serve USD pricing was collected from each vendor's official pricing page where accessible, or from a clearly-cited reputable comparison/aggregator page where the official page returned a JS-only blank render or HTTP error. All prices are the recurring monthly cost: where billed annually, the annualized monthly rate is recorded in monthlyUsd and the month-to-month rate is noted in the plan notes; annualDiscountPct is set when both rates are published. Quote-only or 'contact sales' tiers carry monthlyUsd = null (never estimated). Telephony fields (minutesIncluded, callsIncluded, overagePerMin, overagePerCall) are null on every plan as this is a non-telephony vertical. Impact.com plans include a 2.5% transaction fee on partner-driven sales in addition to the flat monthly fee, noted per plan. AWIN plans carry a per-transaction tracking fee in addition to the flat monthly fee, noted per plan. accessedAt on all sources is 2026-06-14.
