AI Subscription Prices Compared (Official Plans)
Monthly USD list prices from each vendor's official pricing page, manually verified on 2026-10-23. Every source is re-fetched automatically (last check 2026-10-23 10:54 UTC); if a stored price disappears from the page, the row is flagged.
Save money the safe way: use free tiers, annual billing and official student/teacher offers. We never recommend shared, resold or "group-buy" accounts — they break vendor terms and can get you banned or leak your data.
