How we count
Two platforms at a time, on every shape they both sell: a runtime with the same stated memory, or a subscription at the same step of both ladders. A seat and a gigabyte are never put in the same row.
Pairings are chosen rather than generated, because several platforms here sell no runtime of a stated size at all. Each page puts the metered rates, the free tier and what happens when the app is idle beside the prices. A free tier is a limit rather than a price, so it is never the cheaper of two.
Frequently asked
- How are these pairings chosen?
- By hand: 20 comparisons people actually make. Some platforms sell no runtime of a stated size at all, so pairing every platform with every other would make pages with only their subscription ladders to compare.
- What if two platforms sell nothing of the same shape?
- Then the page compares what can be compared: the entry price, the free tier, what stops when the app is idle and what each one meters on top. 4 of the 20 pairings are like that today.
