METHODOLOGY

Data verification method & update cadence

CreditsPlan shows price snapshots as of a manual verification point, not a vendor’s live billing system. The "verified date" on a page is the date that record last completed a source comparison.

How prices are verified

  1. Prioritize official sources:We rely on the vendor’s pricing page, product docs, subscription page or the post-login purchase page, not third-party reposts or search snippets.
  2. Confirm the price basis:Record monthly, quarterly, annual, first-month discount, seat pricing, currency and purchase status separately; prices for different cycles are not inferred from each other, and undisclosed info is not filled in.
  3. Verify plan conditions too:Cross-check quotas, reset cycles, supported models, payment methods, invoicing and refund limits so we don’t record price without applicable conditions.
  4. Publish after review:Compare the structured record against the source page once more, update the "verified date" after confirming; anything still ambiguous is marked "pending" or "see official site".

How CreditsPlan makes money

  • Some purchase links on CreditsPlan are partner links. If you buy through them, the brand may pay us a commission at no extra cost to you.
  • Affiliate relationships never affect our pricing data, plan selection or rankings. Plans are listed and sorted by data completeness and verification status — we do not rank plans higher because they pay us.
  • We never accept payment to hide, remove or alter price data. Errors are fixed when verified against official sources, whoever reports them.

How to read the fields

Verified date
The date this plan was last manually compared against official sources, not the vendor page’s publish date.
Price history
Currently we archive only monthly price and currency. After each verification, a record is added if the monthly price changed; stable periods also keep monthly checkpoints.
Pending / see official site
Means official info is missing, unclear, or not yet re-reviewed. Before buying, open the official source to confirm live price and billing terms.
Data status
Official verification status: verified (checked against first-party official sources), inferred (derived from official info), estimated, or unknown. All currently listed plans are verified.
Confidence
CreditsPlan's rating of record completeness and verifiability: 0.95 (core price, quota and status fields all backed by explicit official sources, verified recently), 0.90 (core data reliable, some secondary fields not fully confirmed); null means not computed, not a signal of low trust. Distinct from data_status (verification status) and source_type (source type); verified is never automatically 0.95.
