Flux against the cheapest image & design tools
Entry plans only, ranked by the least a year costs on each: the annual-billed price where the vendor offers one, otherwise the monthly price times 12. The last column compares like with like: annual billing with annual billing when both tools offer it, otherwise the monthly price times 12 for both. Per-user and flat prices are not subtracted from each other. Credit-billed plans buy a monthly credit allowance; the dollar figure is the subscription price, not the cost of a given amount of output.
