Where can you download it?
- tools.json: one record per tool listed on this site, from 183 vendors, with a
fieldsblock that explains each field. - tools.csv: the same records, one row per tool, lists joined with semicolons.
Both files are rebuilt whenever the site is, after the weekly check of each vendor's pages. The JSON file carries generated_at, the date of its most recent check, and schema_version.
Where else can you get it?
The files on this page are the live ones. The copies elsewhere are not updated as often as this site.

What is in the dataset?
For each tool: its name and vendor, the jobs it does, whether the vendor publishes a price, the starting price as stated (amount, currency, period, unit, billing and plan, never converted), whether there's a free plan or trial, who answers for answering tools, and the security claims and integrations the vendor names, with the vendor's source pages and the tool's page here.
Only facts the vendor states are in the files. A fact the vendor doesn't state is null (an empty cell in the CSV), meaning "not stated by the vendor". Nothing is estimated or worked out, and there are no ratings, rankings or editorial notes.
How is it checked?
Every record is checked against the vendor's own pages, listed in source_urls, and last_checked is the day of the last check. How we choose and check AI tools describes the process, and Changes shows every price or plan change found.
Can you reuse it?
Yes, under CC BY 4.0. Credit "Plainscout (plainscout.com)" with a link to this page. The license covers our selection and structure; tool names and prices are facts from the vendors' own pages.
