We checked every price on The Stack Map — here's what changed

Hey,

Big update this month. We added 18 new tools and 6 workflows, ran a pricing accuracy audit across the entire site, and built a new page so you can see how fresh our data is at any time.

The pricing audit

AI tools change pricing constantly — plan names get shuffled, tiers get added, prices go up. We went through every tool on the site and verified pricing against the actual pricing pages. Here's what we found:

  • ChatGPT renamed Plus to Pro, and Team is now Pro+ at $60/mo

  • Cursor added an Ultra tier at 200/mo,BusinessisnowPro+at200/mo,BusinessisnowPro+at60

  • Windsurf jumped Pro from 15to15to20/mo, and the new Max tier is $200

  • GitHub Copilot added a Pro+ tier at $39/mo

  • Adobe Firefly killed the free tier — now starts at $9.99/mo

  • Synthesia went the other direction — they added a free tier, and Starter is now $18/mo

  • Canva bumped Pro to 14.99andTeamsto14.99andTeamsto29.99

  • Play.ht shut down — archived

  • Plus pricing updates for Airtable, Replit, Fathom, and Tidio

50% of tools are now verified as of March 2026, and we're working through the rest. You can see exactly where we are on our new Data Freshness page — it shows which tools were recently verified, which are due for review, and how our audit process works.

Every tool page also shows a freshness badge so you know if the pricing is current or might be out of date.

18 new tools

Terminal coding agents are having a moment. We added Claude Code (Anthropic), Codex CLI (OpenAI), Gemini CLI (Google), and OpenCode (open-source). Plus Zed (Rust editor with built-in AI), Amp (ad-supported free tier), and Augment Code (enterprise, on-prem).
