Is Google Alerts free? Yes. There is no plan, no seat count and no limit you are likely to hit. The real question for a founder is what it costs in attention, and whether the cheaper option is the free email or a small monthly bill for alerts that arrive already sorted. This piece works through…
Feedly pricing looks simple on the surface: a free plan, two paid tiers and an Enterprise plan. For a founder, the useful question is narrower. What does it cost to stay on top of competitors, customers and your market, and is a reader the right shape of tool for that at all? Below is the…

F5Bot pricing looks simple from the home page: a free plan, Silver at $12.99 a month, Gold at $49.99. The detail that changes the math for a company sits on the tiers page. The free plan is for personal use, and Silver is for "personal, non-commercial use". If you are monitoring a business, a…

For a founder, that means you cannot budget for it before you talk to sales, and the number you get…
