1. Vendor pages first
Prices, model names and usage caps are taken from the vendor’s own pricing, documentation or help pages wherever they exist. Official app-store listings count as vendor sources because they are vendor-submitted.
About · By Adam Johnstone · Updated 2026-09-13
AIBundleComparison compares all-in-one AI tools by what their vendors actually document — prices, model names, usage caps, retention policies — with the date each figure was checked. Where a vendor publishes nothing, that is recorded as a finding rather than filled in.
Method
Four rules, applied to every page.
Prices, model names and usage caps are taken from the vendor’s own pricing, documentation or help pages wherever they exist. Official app-store listings count as vendor sources because they are vendor-submitted.
Each page states when its figures were checked. This category changes fast enough that an undated price is not worth reading — during 2026 alone, Sider replaced its plan lineup, Monica renamed its tiers, and ChatHub discontinued lifetime licences.
When a vendor does not publish something, the page says “not published” and names it in an open-questions list. Several vendors here do not publish prices as readable text at all, and none publishes a context window.
Where no vendor source exists, a named third party may be cited and is flagged as such. Monica’s prices are the clearest case: every figure in circulation is third-party because Monica publishes none.
Limits
This is a documentation-based comparison. It is not a test lab, and it does not claim to be. It does not benchmark answer quality, measure latency, or verify that published caps hold in practice. Every page carries an open-questions section naming exactly what would need a paid account to establish — those are the things to check yourself during a trial or refund window.
Refund windows are short in this category and worth knowing before you start: three days at Merlin, seven on annual plans at Sider, fourteen at TypingMind. MultipleChat’s terms state that creating an account before sending a message waives refund rights.
Sources
Each tool page lists its own sources with the date checked. The category-scale figures used across the site come from: ChatGPT paid and weekly usage report · Google Gemini and subscription scale · Anthropic business-customer scale · Perplexity MAU and ARR report. These were reported in February 2026 and are dated as such wherever they appear.
FAQ
Adam Johnstone researches and writes every page on this site. Each page carries a byline and the date its figures were last checked.
This is a documentation-based comparison, not a hands-on test lab. Every figure comes from the vendor's own pages, official app-store listings, or a named third-party source, and each is dated. Where a vendor publishes nothing, the page says so.
By question, not overall. A tool that exports finished spreadsheets wins a document question and loses a browser-reading question. The verdict changes page to page because the job changes page to page.
Because in this category the gaps are the story. Several vendors here do not publish prices as readable text, do not state context windows, and decline to give file size limits. Marking those is more useful than filling them with guesses.
