Read from archived copies of each vendor's pricing page in the Internet Archive, one per quarter, plus our own read today. 19 vendors have archived pricing pages. A read carries forward until the next one. The index compares the same plan at the same vendor quarter to quarter, so new and departing vendors don't move it. These are the vendors' listed plan prices, phone seats included; an AI add-on counts only where the pricing page showed one.
