- scope change8 September 2026 Squarespace Premium / Enterprise — what can be said about the price of SSO on Squarespace
The table stated that the price is not published and that the figure cannot be calculated. → The article now states why the method used for monday.com and Asana — anchor the quote to the published tier immediately below — does not work here: Premium is not on the published plan ladder at all, and it bundles page drafts and the Design Library with SSO.
Squarespace did not change anything. The three Squarespace facts already in the ledger were rechecked on 8 September 2026 and none of them moved; two new ledger entries were added for the plan ladder and for what Premium bundles.
Where: What does SSO actually cost? - correction7 September 2026 HubSpot Starter Customer Platform — how the plan is described
#08: “promotional rates of $20 monthly and $7 annually, and we could not separate out the standard price”. #10: listed as “HubSpot Marketing Starter, $7/seat”. → The list price, the annual promotional rate and the monthly promotional rate are named separately, each quoting the vendor’s “new customers only, limited time” note. #08 now states why a limited-time price is kept off its annual-against-monthly axis.
The three figures now come from one ledger entry, so a change to the price moves every mention of it at once.
Where: Annual or monthly billing — which one to pick, Budgeting from the list price times twelve leaves you short - correction7 September 2026 Article 20: the hours a month that bring the payback inside 6 and 24 months — the two thresholds, with the revenue uplift at zero
9.2 hours and 3.1 hours → 9.3 hours and 3.2 hours
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the printed figure did not reach the target: 9.2 hours a month pays back in 6.03 months. Thresholds of this kind are now rounded up.
Where: How many months until that SaaS pays for itself? - correction7 September 2026 Article 20, Japanese edition: the hours a month at or below which the cost is never recovered — the threshold
2.45 hours → 2.44 hours
¥7,500 ÷ ¥3,067 is 2.4454 hours, so at 2.45 hours the cost is still recovered, slowly. A threshold stated as “or less” is now rounded down.
Where: How many months until that SaaS pays for itself? - editorial basis7 September 2026 Article 20: the payback calculation — how a reader runs it with their own figures
the formula and a worked example in the text → a form in the article that runs the same division, with a link that carries the figures
The form computes only what the article states: hours × loaded labor cost plus added revenue × gross margin, against the monthly spend. Entries stay in the reader's browser and are not sent anywhere.
Where: How many months until that SaaS pays for itself? - editorial basis7 September 2026 Article 8: the annual-against-monthly arithmetic — how a reader runs it with their own contract
the table and the formulas in the text → a form in the article that runs the same formulas from the 4 vendors in the table or the reader's own prices, with a link that carries the figures
The form computes only what the table states: extra paid at the month you stop, months to break even, and that extra as a multiple of the annual discount. Entries stay in the reader's browser and are not sent anywhere.
Where: Annual or monthly billing — which one to pick - editorial basis7 September 2026 Article 9: how many seats get billed — how a reader works it out for their own headcount
the 10-person case and the seat rules quoted in the text → a form in the article that applies each vendor's minimum, increments and free allowances to your own headcount, with a link that carries the figures
The form computes only what the tables state: billable seats after rounding up, the annual total, and what the rounding and the read-only staff cost. Shopify is left out because it does not sell seats. The Semrush total is $3,027.96 rather than the $3,028 in the table, which is $117.33 x 12 rounded to the dollar; the table now says so. Entries stay in the reader's browser and are not sent anywhere.
Where: No two vendors mean the same thing by “seat” - price display fixed6 September 2026 HubSpot Starter Customer Platform — entry price shown in the comparison table and on the card
$7–$20 / seat, annual (table); from $20 / seat (card) → $7 / seat billed annually and $10 billed monthly, both promotional rates for new customers, against a $20 regular price
The vendor’s page did not change. All three figures were already in this site’s own source ledger; the hub had collapsed them into a single range.
Where: The front page - correction6 September 2026 This site — article count and last-verified date on the front page
23 Articles · Last review 08 / 26 → 24 Articles · Last verified 09 / 01, both counted at build time
Both figures were typed by hand and had fallen behind the articles themselves.
Where: The front page - editorial basis6 September 2026 The list of six platforms — how the list is presented
“Top 3”, with Rank 01 to Rank 06 on the cards → Editor’s picks, with no rank numbers
This site publishes no score, and the order is one editor’s view. Numbering it read as a measurement it is not.
Where: The front page - claim removed6 September 2026 The six cards on the front page — “Ad” and “PR” badges
“Ad ·” / “PR ·” prefixes on six cards → removed; only the factual part, such as “free plan available”, is kept
This site carries no affiliate links at present, so an advertising label described a relationship that does not exist. The labels return if a partnership starts.
Where: The front page - correction6 September 2026 The front page — how the figures on this site are described
every figure is the vendor’s own published number → prices and terms are the vendors’ published figures; totals, break-even points and thresholds are this site’s own arithmetic on top of them, and are labeled where they appear
Where: The front page - editorial basis6 September 2026 Payback period — the 6 / 12 / 24-month thresholds
Sign if payback is inside 6 months; if it runs past 24 months you cannot buy it on that arithmetic. → The thresholds are labeled as this site’s own default, with the assumptions shown and low, base and high cases side by side.
Where: How many months until that SaaS pays for itself? - editorial basis6 September 2026 When a spreadsheet stops being enough — the 3 people / 5,000 records / 80 deals thresholds
a spreadsheet only breaks when 3 or more people touch it → the lead is written from the symptoms; the numeric table stays, marked as an illustrative scenario reasoned backwards from how the failures happen
Where: Do you really need a CRM? - correction6 September 2026 Security questionnaires — coverage claim and the legal basis given
these seven items fill in most of a questionnaire; a privacy policy is required by Japan’s personal information protection act → the seven items are a starting point, not most of a questionnaire; the statutory requirement is that the stated purpose be in a state the person can readily know, which a privacy policy is one way to meet
Where: What do you hand over when a client asks how you manage information? - correction6 September 2026 Annual or monthly billing — how Shopify is described
The one exception is Shopify. → Of the five vendors checked, Shopify reaches break-even earliest, at 8.92 months.
Where: Annual or monthly billing — which one to pick - claim removed6 September 2026 Unused accounts, canceling and downgrading — claim about which companies pay the most
The companies that stop at ② are the ones paying the most. → removed; the billing, deactivation and renewal dates are given per vendor instead
We could not point to a survey behind the claim.
Where: How much are you paying for accounts nobody uses? - editorial basis6 September 2026 Semrush plans — plan recommendation
Most businesses will fit inside SEO. → marked as the editor’s view, with the limits that decide it shown alongside
Where: Semrush at $139 a month: how many people does that cover? - scope change6 September 2026 The English edition — currency and tax assumptions
yen prices, Japanese consumption tax and a card issuer’s foreign transaction fee → US published prices in US dollars; sales tax is described as determined by the billing address and no rate is assumed
Buying from Japan is covered in the Japanese edition, which keeps the yen figures.
Where: Processing rates do not decide the Shopify plan until monthly volume passes $25,000, Is the free trial actually free, No two vendors mean the same thing by “seat”, Budgeting from the list price times twelve leaves you short, On which plan does support stop being a help article?, Which country will your customer data sit in?, monday.com or Asana: which should you choose?, How many months until that SaaS pays for itself? - scope change6 September 2026 “How much do you actually pay, in yen” — languages this article is published in
English and Japanese → Japanese only; the old English URL redirects to the Japanese article

How to read this log
Entries marked price change, plan rename, billing condition or fee policy mean the vendor's own published page changed. The rest — price display fixed, correction, claim removed, scope change, editorial basis — mean the vendor did not change anything: this site had published something wrong, unsupported or unclear, and the entry says what it was. Both kinds stay on the record.
Only changes that alter what a reader would decide are recorded: a figure, a plan name, a billing condition, a claim, the scope of an article. Re-reading a vendor's page and finding the same figure moves the confirmation date on that article and nothing here.
