How to read this table
The table lists every other tool of the category, whatever its status: a row that says Trial only or No free plan is not a free tier. The rows are in name order, the same order as the category page. The date in a row is the day the vendor page of that tool was read. This page puts no tool ahead of another and picks none.
Each tool page has every limit row of that tool, the gotchas and the address of the vendor page that was read.
