Last verified 2026-06-18. STALE · 2026-06-18 Official citationsy.com/pricing returned HTTP 522 on 2026-06-18 (down). CORRECTION: an earlier version of this record's standard Pro of $4.99/month is the STUDENT rate; current third-party listings (G2, SpotSaaS, search corroboration) show standard Pro at $9.99/month, student $4.99/month, annual ~$49.99/year. Prices unverifiable against the live official page — secondary only. The page this record cites as its source (https://www.spotsaas.com/product/citationsy/pricing) is gone: on 2026-09-11 it returned 404, both from a residential connection and from a datacenter on another continent — so the page is gone rather than withheld from one asker. Nothing else in this record can stand in for it, so re-sourcing needs a live page read; the figure stands as last read. Cross-checked against g2.com.

Corrections to this record
Changes we made to our own record of Citationsy, newest first: a figure read again on the vendor's page, a plan it no longer lists, a note. None of them is a price change by Citationsy. Every correction on the site is in the corrections log.

Pro (Annual). Correction 2026-09-11: the annual discount of 58% was moved off "Pro (Annual)" onto "Pro (Monthly)". "Pro (Annual)" records $4.17/mo, which is its own note's $49.99 yearly total over 12 months — the annual price, with the saving already in it. The page prints the percentage as a discount off the figure in the same row, so the pair offered a reader $1.75/mo, a rate the vendor does not publish. The note names $9.99/mo month-to-month and "Pro (Monthly)" records exactly that, so the saving is true of that row and now sits there. No price moved on either row.

Dead citation disclosed, price unchanged. https://www.spotsaas.com/product/citationsy/pricing was read twice on 2026-09-11: it returned 404 from a residential connection and returned 404 from a datacenter on another continent. One reading is not evidence — 27 pages this sweep called gone answered the second machine perfectly well — so only the ones both vantages agree on are written down. The record now says the link is a dead end. No figure changed: a price read on a day was read on that day, and the page going away later does not unread it.

Citationsy currently holds a bronze deskmark here — Rank 5 of 8 · Citation Manager. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm and money never touches it.
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if Citationsy moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
