Methodology
Methodology: how every figure and statement here is sourced
Updated
Every price on this site was read from its publisher's own page on 11 November 2026 and is stored with the day and a hash of the page. Every statement about Businesses in ChatGPT comes from one of four OpenAI pages, linked where it is made. Nothing is estimated, and a publisher that prints no price is listed as printing none.
How are prices read?
A browser we run reads each named page. A person then chooses, for each publisher, the one figure the table is about: the cheapest paid plan for a tool, the lowest fee for AI search work for an agency. Every other figure on the page is refused with a reason, and the refusals are kept. For the tool board 21 figures were accepted from 25 pages; for the agency index 15 from 19.
What is never done?
- A price is never taken from a third party's article about a vendor. Each vendor is read on its own page.
- A market range in an agency's guide is never recorded as that agency's fee.
- Monthly and annual billing, dollars and euros, are never pooled into one median.
- A page that could not be read, or whose price could not be taken as one figure, is held out and named, never recorded as publishing nothing.

How often is it re-read?
The price tables are re-read monthly. Businesses in ChatGPT is in beta, and OpenAI says it will expand it to more markets and business types; when its pages change, the statements here are re-read against them.
