Eight CRMs, dated seat pricing and a core-feature matrix, the add-on and cap traps that change the bill, and the counted cost of five seats per year — with every number carrying its check date, because a dated matrix is a receipt.
Five alternatives to Salesforce, all priced at the same ten-seat scenario on dated published rates and counted against the $3,000 and $12,000 baselines — with the named feature gap for each option, the hidden lines, and a dated watchlist.
One B2B list at four sizes — 1,000 to 100,000 contacts, one email per contact per month — priced monthly across Mailchimp, Brevo and HubSpot, checked against the vendors' own pages on 28 September 2026: the per-recipient cost curve, the reconciled free-tier caps, and the three steepest segments on it.
A fifty-person company's module set — core HRIS, payroll, time tracking, benefits administration, SSO — priced across BambooHR, Rippling and HiBob from dated vendor documents: the per-seat tiers, the included-versus-sold-separately integration matrix, the counted bill, and the lines most likely to move at renewal.
A ten-service stack — 8 hosts, 120 containers, 250,000 series, 900 GB of logs — priced at the rates both vendors published on 28 September 2026: $1,068.30 on Datadog, $2,369.70 on Grafana Cloud. Every assumption stated, every rate dated.
One fixed scenario — ten sales seats, CPQ, marketing automation, service desk, AI, implementation — counted over 36 months on both vendors' published 2026 pricing: $207,000 on the platform, $89,100 on the suite, with every quote-gated cell marked unverified and every number dated.
A 10-domain client portfolio priced across Ahrefs, Semrush and Moz — $468, $589-839 and from $49 a month, checked 27-28 September 2026: the dated tier-inclusion matrix, the reconciled unit definitions, the per-client seat math, and the five cells most likely to move at renewal.
30 SaaS pricing pages across CRM, dev, marketing, finance and HR, checked between 13 November 2025 and 28 September 2026 and read as one dated dataset: the seat fine print, the unit definitions, the free-tier caps, and the hidden lines the sticker does not say.
The December 2025 GitHub Actions pricing change, dated: hosted rates cut up to 39%, the self-hosted fee announced and withdrawn in 24 hours — and a 10-repo/50-pipeline workload priced across all three vendors.
A six-person service company's books priced over 36 months in QuickBooks Online and Xero, every plan, seat, and bank-feed line dated to 26-27 September 2026: $5,040 versus $1,980 at the comparable reconciliation tier, plus the fine print that follows the sticker price.
