Most AI-tool directories scrape pricing pages on a schedule, render whatever their parser extracted, and move on. That approach is fast and indefensibly wrong. Pricing pages change their markup, their layout, their entire taxonomy, and the scraper silently publishes yesterday's numbers as this week's reference.
Scopefull does not scrape. Every price on this site was last touched by a human, and every tool carries a visible "last verified" date.
The weekly cycle
Every Monday morning a person, currently just one, opens each tool's pricing page, compares the monthly and annual totals against the values already in the database, and updates anything that has shifted. The "last verified" timestamp on each tool reflects the most recent pass, whether or not any number actually changed.
What we check, in order
Plan monthly price. Plan annual price and whether the discount is real. Credit or generation allotment per plan. Per-generation cost for pay-per-use tools. The access types each plan unlocks, because some tools quietly gate API access behind higher tiers. Resolution tiers and which plans cover which tiers.
Where verification still struggles
Hidden minimums. A tool might quote a per-generation price that only applies after you purchase a minimum credit bundle, and the bundle is mentioned two paragraphs below the headline number.
Fair-use caps. "Unlimited" plans almost always have a soft cap. Some are documented, most are not. Scopefull flags documented caps and notes when a plan is unlimited-with-an-asterisk.
Regional pricing. A few tools charge different amounts in different currencies that do not match a straight conversion. We publish the USD list price and note when the local price is materially different.
Staleness at the edges. A price changed on a Tuesday will be up to six days old on Scopefull before the next Monday pass. If you see a stale date on a tool you rely on, the "Report a price" link in the footer updates the database faster than the weekly cycle.
What this costs us, and why it is the product
Doing this by hand does not scale past a few dozen tools. That is intentional. The value of Scopefull is not breadth, it is the guarantee that every number you see was looked at by someone who cared whether it was correct. The tools we track are the ones that matter for the work. The numbers we publish are the ones you can plan a budget against.
