About PriceFrame

I built PriceFrame because I got tired of the bait and switch. Every SaaS tool advertises a clean, simple price on their marketing page. Then you sign up, add your team, start using the features you actually need, and the bill is double what you expected.

That happened to me enough times that I started keeping a spreadsheet. What does this tool actually cost at my team size? What are the overage fees they don't mention until you hit the limit? Where do they bury the onboarding charges?

PriceFrame is that spreadsheet, turned into a resource anyone can use. Every pricing breakdown documents the full cost picture: every tier, every hidden fee, every gotcha that vendors bury in help docs and fine print.

How I research pricing

Every pricing breakdown on PriceFrame follows the same process:

  • Official pricing pages first. I start with the vendor's public pricing page and document every tier, price point, and feature limit.
  • Help docs and knowledge bases. Many hidden fees (overage charges, add-on costs, onboarding fees) only show up in help articles. I dig those up.
  • User reports. I check G2 reviews, Reddit threads, and community forums for real-world cost experiences that don't match the marketing page.
  • Regular verification. Every pricing data point includes a "last verified" date. I re-check pricing after reported changes and on a regular schedule.

How PriceFrame makes money

Here's exactly how this site earns revenue:

  • Affiliate commissions. When you click a link to a software product and sign up, I may earn a commission from that company. This never costs you extra.
  • Display advertising. Non-intrusive ads appear on some pages.

The important part: affiliate relationships do not influence pricing data or recommendations. I cover the same details for every tool, whether or not they have an affiliate program. The pricing numbers come from official sources, not from whoever pays the highest commission.

What I don't do

  • I don't accept payment for higher rankings or better reviews.
  • I don't fabricate pricing data. Every number is sourced from public pages.
  • I don't pretend to have used every tool. I'm a pricing researcher, not a product reviewer.
  • I don't hide affiliate relationships. Every page includes a clear disclosure.
