How we collect prices

Every price on SoftwareTab comes from the vendor's own public pricing page. Here is exactly how.

1. We read the official page every day

Our collector visits each vendor's public pricing page once a day, identifies itself as SoftwareTabBot, respects robots.txt and never logs in or bypasses any block. It saves the page text with the date.

2. Two AI models read the prices independently

Claude Opus reads the page and records every plan, price and limit, copying the exact words from the page for each number. A second model, Claude Haiku, reads the same page separately.

3. Code checks every number against the page

Every quoted phrase must appear on the page and contain its price, and both models must agree. Anything that doesn't match goes to a person for review before it is published.

4. We keep every version

Old versions are never overwritten, so each pricing page shows when prices changed.

What we don't do

We don't accept payment to change prices, rankings or data. We don't claim to have tested products we haven't used. Paid placements, if we add them, will be clearly labelled.
