How to choose

What will it cost?

Check whether the service has a free plan, a free trial or a paid price before signing up.

Platform labels on this board include web, Android, iOS and an extension. Check the individual app details for its supported platforms.

Can I try it without paying?

Look for a free plan or free trial if you want to start without paying upfront.

Credit Karma and CreditWise are listed with free plans and no free trial. Aura Credit Monitoring is listed with a free trial and no free plan.

What do the API and open-source marks mean?
