Why we publish these pages
Counselors research software by name and price. We write honest comparisons from primary sources, keep them dated, and link out when a number is not verified.
Verified sources
Numbers come from each company's own pricing page or an attributed screenshot, dated, not guessed.
Real search intent
Each page answers pricing, AI features, portals, and whether a tool scales from solo to firm.
Kept current
Facts are refreshed when pricing changes. This hub was last updated July 2026.
