How we compiled this
Each vendor's official pricing page was re-verified via WebFetch on 2026-06-15. Where a vendor's pricing page returned incomplete/empty content (tl;dv app/pricing, Fellow on first fetch), prices were corroborated via official redirect targets, vendor blog posts, and a third-party comparison (claap.io), with cross-source agreement. Compliance (HIPAA/SOC2/GDPR) was confirmed only where the vendor explicitly states it on a pricing/security/trust page or official blog; otherwise left null. monthlyUsd reflects the published 'billed monthly' rack rate per seat; enterprise/contact-sales tiers with no published monthly price are set to null. annualDiscountPct recomputed from verified monthly vs annual per-seat figures. All accessedAt = 2026-06-15.
