|
| ## Files |
|
|
| | File | Description | |
| |------|-------------| |
| | `comparedge_database_schema.sql` | Full DDL. 5 tables, 3 views. Import: `sqlite3 db.sqlite < schema.sql` | |

|
| ## Schema overview |
|
|
| Tables: `categories`, `products`, `pricing_plans`, `features`, `price_history` |
|
|
| Views: |
| - `v_category_stats` — avg rating, avg price, free tier % per category |
| - `v_llm_comparison` — LLM products with pricing plan details |
| - `v_free_tier_products` — all 246 products with perpetual free tiers |
|
|
| ## Billing model distribution |
|
|
| Our pipeline classifies each plan into one of four billing models: per-seat (most common in project management and CRM), flat rate (typical for individual tools), usage-based (LLM APIs, cloud hosting), and freemium. |
|
|
| 74.3% of tracked products offer a functional free tier. Not a 14-day trial — a permanent plan with real utility. |
|
|
| ## Methodology |
|
|
| Pricing scraped from public vendor pages. Where a vendor hides pricing behind "Contact Sales", we record null. Ratings from G2 and Capterra — averaged when both exist, used as-is when only one source is available. |
