Social Bee compared, with the source and the date.
Every comparison below records what the other product's own pricing page printed on the day we read it, with a link to that page and the date beside it. Nothing is inferred, averaged or carried forward, and a fact the page did not state that day is marked as not checked rather than filled in. Social Bee's own figures come from the live plan catalog.

How to read this table.
The competitor column is a record of what their own pricing page printed on the check date, with the source link beside it. Anything the page did not state that day is marked as not checked instead of filled in. The Social Bee column is generated from the live plan catalog, so it cannot drift away from what you are charged.
Frequently asked questions
How often are these comparisons re-checked?
Each page records the date its figures were read and links the page they came from. A figure is never edited without opening that page again and moving the date with it, so an old date is a statement that the figures are that old rather than a claim that they are current.
Why do some rows say not checked?
Because the other product's page did not state that fact on the day we read it. Writing a number we did not see would be inventing one, so the row says so instead.
Where do Social Bee's own figures come from?
From the live plan catalog the checkout charges against, not from this file. No Social Bee price is ever typed into a comparison, so the column cannot drift away from what you pay.
