Price paths
59 tools in this index changed their entry price more than once. 7 of those sequences hold up end to end. The other 52 break down like this: 15 have a missing step in the middle; 14 oscillate A → B → A; 11 jump by more than 5×; 6 net less than 20%; 5 disagree with the price shown today; 1 belong to a tool this index does not list. We would rather show seven paths than show a crawl artefact as a pricing decision — and the reasons are listed rather than hidden, because the filters are the only thing standing between this page and nonsense.
7 paths · 5 up, 2 down Median net move +107%. These are repeated changes by the same tool — not the one-off repricing on the price changes page.

What this page does not say
It does not say what happened after a change. None of these tools published revenue on both sides of a repricing, so there is no way to say a raise helped or hurt. A price going up says one thing only: the tool asked for more money and kept asking.
A row holds one more price than it holds dates: three prices mean two changes, and the two dates are those two changes, not the start and end of the whole period. The count on the second line says how many changes there were, so the two numbers can be reconciled without guessing.
It also does not claim every change it cannot show was fake. A sequence is excluded when it oscillates back and forth (A → B → A, usually one crawl reading a different plan tier), when the first and last figures differ by more than 5× (often monthly versus annual, or a plan that no longer exists), when the net move is under 20%, when any single step moves more than 300%, when no snapshot confirms it, when a step is missing entirely (the next change starts from a price the previous one never reached), or when the last figure does not match the price the tool charges today. Those are limits of the crawl, not judgments about the companies. 52 sequences are held back for those reasons.
Entry price means the cheapest monthly tier published on the pricing page. It is not average revenue per user, and it does not move when a tool merely adds a seat, a usage meter, or an annual discount. The evidence behind each step is a dated snapshot of that pricing page — our own daily crawl, or the Wayback Machine where the crawl has a gap. There is no founder quote behind a price change, so the arrow points at the tool's own price history rather than at a post.
