What the starting price means here

The starting price is the lowest paid plan, in US dollars per month; plans sold only annually are shown as their monthly equivalent. Free plans and trials are excluded, so a product with a free tier appears with its first paid plan. Some prices are per user and some are flat; open the profile for the plan table. Only tools whose price was checked against the vendor's own pricing page are listed, and each line shows the date of that check. Categories with fewer than three such tools are left out.
