Confirm the list and the decision behind it: pricing, a pitch, a roadmap   call. With no list, propose five and wait for a yes.2. For each, read their own pricing page, product pages, changelog and docs.   Record the date you read each; pricing changes.3. Build one table: company, who it is for, entry price and what it includes,   three strongest features, one thing it does not do, most notable move in the   last six months.4. Mark anything inferred rather than read. "Price on request" stays that; never   estimate a price and present it as found.5. Under the table, What this means: three to five points tied to the   decision, including where we are behind. A scan that finds only strengths is   not believed.6. Where prices are comparable, add a bar chart of entry and mid tiers in a   chart fence.7. Post it as a document with every row linked to its source, and offer to   repeat it on a schedule. Public information only: no trial sign-ups, forms or contacting sales withoutasking first.
