Higher observed success: +0.02 percentage points

Ranked by 30-day users, with actor ID breaking ties. Rates are recorded list-tier USD amounts per 1,000 selected primary billing events, not inferred output counts. Even matching billing units do not prove equivalent output or total cost. Pricing models, event definitions, features, run-start charges, additional charge events and platform fees can differ. Unavailable means no known recorded rate; zero event rates and explicit FREE models are shown separately. No price ranking is made. Success highlights require 20+ public runs for each tool. Public runs have different workloads, so higher observed success does not guarantee better reliability for your use case. Tools share a target-site category and may serve different tasks. You are responsible for complying with YouTube's terms and applicable law. Methodology.

Carried forward means retained from an earlier fetch; pricing and usage may have changed, or the listing may be absent from today's fetch. Unknown observation dates remain unknown. Dataset file dates and tool build dates are not tool observation dates.
