Open dataset: software pricing, with its receipts

Everything this site knows about 512 software products is available as a single public JSON document. No key, no sign-up, no rate limit to negotiate. It is free to use commercially under CC BY 4.0 — the one condition is attribution.

GET https://toolcompare.net/api/tools — returns the full array. CORS is open and the response is cached for a day.

The full document is around 1.8 MB, so three query parameters are available to keep it sane:

?fields=slug,name,basePrice,fiyatModeli — only the top-level fields you name
?format=compact — identity, price and billing model, plus evidence.status and its date, without the full source list
?limit=50&offset=100 — pagination; the total is returned in the X-Total-Count header

With no parameters the response is unchanged from before, so existing callers keep working.

Why this exists

Pricing pages are the least stable documents on the web and almost nobody writes down when they read one. A figure with no date and no source is a rumour. Every price here carries the URL it came from and the date an editor read it, and the records we could not verify say so in the data itself rather than being quietly rounded to a plausible number.

That last part is the point. If you are citing a pricing figure, you need to know how much weight it carries. This dataset tells you.

What is in it today

512 products, of which 472 carry dated evidence metadata
370 cite a concrete price or plan limit in at least one source — the rest are explicitly marked as unverified rather than guessed
429 carry an editorial criteria layer (bestFor / skipIf) and 164 carry hand-written Q&A (335 entries)

The fields that matter

Most fields are self-describing. These are the ones worth reading before you trust a number:

evidence.status — how the price was established. Values below.
evidence.sources[].url and .checkedAt — where the claim came from and the date it was read.
evidence.sources[].supports — the specific plan facts that source backs. If this is vague, the record is weak; treat it as such.
evidence.limitations — what we could not establish. Read this first.
basePrice and fiyatModeli — the starting price of the cheapest paid plan, and its billing model. A basePrice of 0 means a free tier or an unpriceable model, never "free software".

`evidence.status` values

pricing-page-verified (241) — An editor opened the vendor's own pricing page and read the plans line by line. At least one source lists a concrete price or plan limit.
vendor-sourced (200) — Sourced from the vendor's own pages, but the price itself is missing or unreadable — regional currency, a client-side figure, a slider, or a vendor that does not publish one. Limits are recorded, the price is not invented.
open-source-verified (31) — The vendor's own page states the software is open source and free. The price claim is zero and it is sourced.

What this dataset is not

Not a benchmark. Nothing here is a measured performance result. It is a reading of vendor-published material.
Not a quality ranking. There are no star ratings and no scores; see how we rank.
Not current by definition. Each record is accurate as of its own checkedAt date and no later. Vendors change prices without notice.
Not complete on price. 102 sourced records still have no concrete price, usually because the vendor does not publish one. That gap is visible in the data on purpose.
