How we compiled this
Published self-serve USD pricing was collected from each provider's official pricing page on the accessed date. Where the official page returned 403/JS-only, a reputable 2026 pricing-comparison or review page was used as primary source and is flagged in that vendor's provenance; a second independent review site is recorded as corroboration. monthlyUsd records the month-to-month rate in USD; where only annual billing exists the annualized monthly rate is used and the month-to-month rate is noted. Transaction-fee-only platforms (no monthly subscription) are represented with a single plan at monthlyUsd 0. For usage-metered services the published unit rate is noted in the plan notes. minutesIncluded, callsIncluded, overagePerMin, and overagePerCall are null on every plan (non-telephony vertical). HIPAA/BAA fields are null unless the vendor explicitly states compliance.
Last verified 2026-06-15. We re-check published prices and compliance on a recurring cadence and update this page when they change.
