How we compiled this
Published self-serve USD pricing was collected from each vendor's official pricing page on 2026-06-14. For each plan the monthlyUsd records the effective monthly cost for one seat / the smallest billable unit. Where only annual-billing rates were published, that annualized monthly rate is recorded and notes explains; month-to-month rates are noted separately when discovered. annualDiscountPct is set only when both annual and monthly rates were explicitly published on the same official source. Quote-only and enterprise tiers carry monthlyUsd null. Prospero's correct domain is goprospero.com (the earlier prospero.io was wrong); its official pricing page publishes a confirmable self-serve price of $19/user/month month-to-month or $12/user/month billed annually. Bidsketch pricing was read from bidsketch.com/pricing/ and corroborated via softwareadvice.com. All telephony fields (minutesIncluded, callsIncluded, overagePerMin, overagePerCall) are null for every plan as this vertical is non-telephony.
