About this list

Paid plans run from $0.02 to $599, and 8 have a free or freemium plan.

Last checked 20 October 2026.

The trial window matters less here than the plan it rolls into. Otterly AI's 7-day trial converts to a $29/month self-serve plan, the lowest published in this category. Profound's free trial runs 7 days and leads only to a custom Enterprise contract. Goodie AI's 7-day trial sits on Core, $295 a month billed annually. SE Visible's 10-day trial is the longest documented here, on a standalone product from $99 a month. Check the price the trial attaches to, not the day count.
