Productivity: which are worth paying for?

Cheapest paid plan, compared
Prices checked Sep 27, 2026 · scores are free-tier averagesHow to read it
Each tool sits at its cheapest paid monthly price. A score badge marks tools we have tested; the others say "not tested yet", because we never guess a score.
None of these tools has a published test score yet, so this compares prices only. With 3 or more scores this becomes a price-vs-score chart.
Notion AI bills by usage or has no monthly USD price, so it sits in its own slot.
