What the work costs
Price index
Subscription tiers, per-video rates and agency retainers, taken from each company’s own pricing page. Every row links to where the number came from and says when we read it. Prices older than 30 days are re-checked every month.
112 prices from 29 companies, plus marketplace and government pay figures. Checked on .
How to read it
- Price is exactly what the company’s page shows. Where a plan is billed annually or quarterly, the table says so.
- Works out at is the monthly price divided by the number of videos, or the hours of work, the plan says it includes. Where a plan gives a range (say 20 to 40 videos), you see the cost at both ends. Plans that don’t publish a count show none: we don’t guess.
- Every company here is labelled Researched, not hired unless App369 paid it. Nothing on this page is a rating: it’s what each company publishes.
