Methodology

How Priced Tools builds price-clarity labels for pricing claims.

Who this is for

Buyers who need a budget shortlist before a sales call. We bias toward tools with a public price signal, and we label sales-quote-only products honestly so you do not waste a week learning the hard way.

Inclusion

• Public product URL exists.
• SMB or mid-market SKU (or clear mid-market path).
• Prefer any public pricing signal; if sales quote only, label honestly.
• English-language product pages OK for v1.

Price clarity labels

• Price on their site: dollar amount on a vendor pricing page or primary source.
• Some price shown: plan structure or cart snapshots, not a clean durable list price.
• Price on a marketplace: AWS/Azure Marketplace is the clearest public number.
• Sales quote only: must talk to sales; we do not invent a from-$X.
• No public price: not enough public evidence.

What we never do

• Invent prices or star ratings.
• Copy competitor directory blurbs verbatim.
• Claim certifications beyond vendor public pages.
• Sell leads, reviews, or guaranteed rankings.
• Invent traffic numbers, case studies, or ranking claims.

Verification

Each entry stores source URLs and a last_verified date. Always re-check the vendor before you buy. Prices change.
