## How we compared

- We read each service's public pricing page on Oct 20, 2026 and recorded the list price of one-time packs at 10,000, 25,000, 50,000 and 1,000,000 credits. A dash means no pack of that size is listed.
- Free credits, credit expiry and unknown-result billing come from the same pricing page, unless the sources name another page of that service where we read the policy. A policy we could not confirm on a page we opened is shown as not stated.
- Limited-time promotions are left out and named in the sources. Per-1,000 prices are the pack price divided by its credits.
- Prices in USD, excluding tax. VAT or sales tax is added at checkout where applicable. Other services' prices are shown as listed; where a service says its prices include tax, the sources say so.
- We compare published prices and policies only. We do not rank services or claim that any of them is the best.
- We re-check every price at least every 45 days and update the date above.
