Mera Work prices exclude applicable taxes. Screenshot Monitor charges monthly with no annual billing option, so its figure is the same in both views and is twelve months of the monthly price. The prices used are its current offer, shown as 'if you start now', with $6 and $9 shown crossed out beside them. Its free plan is limited to three users, so it is not included.
