Recorded primary-event amounts only; run starts, other events and platform charges can add cost. Matching event IDs do not establish equivalent output or total cost. Some links are affiliate links; we may earn a commission. Disclosure.

Sorting covers only the displayed subset (at most 60 tools), not the entire store or every matching actor. Success means run completion, not output accuracy. Review sorting uses review count, not rating. Unknown evidence stays last; ties retain original order.

These are listed rates, not a workload quote: event units differ and additional event or platform charges may apply. Unknown model/event, charges and success rates are blank; numeric zero is recorded zero, and FREE identifies an explicit free pricing model.

How to read this data
Success rate is the share of public runs that finished successfully in the last 30 days. Summed reported actor users: 20. Users may overlap across tools; this is not a count of unique people or buyers, or search volume.
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.
Most used: RubyGems Package Scraper - Ruby Gem Downloads & Dependencies (1 users in 30 days).
Current recommendations use only tools fetched in this dataset with a known observation date. Carried-forward and unknown-date records remain in comparisons but cannot be current picks.
Pricing coverage among 17 displayed tools: 17 with a recorded primary-event rate; 0 with an unavailable primary-event rate; 0 with an explicit FREE model. Primary-event rates use the recorded billing units below; different events are not equivalent results.
Success rate is shown only for tools with 20+ runs in 30 days; below 90% is highlighted. Prices use recorded list-tier event amounts (explicit FREE tier when tiered); other plan rates are not inferred. Rates are per 1,000 primary events in the recorded unit named beside each rate; an unavailable billing unit is labeled explicitly. Different billing events do not imply equivalent results. Run-start and additional charges, plus your workload, determine total cost. Unavailable means the snapshot did not provide the value; an explicit FREE model is separate from a zero listed event rate. You are responsible for complying with rubygems.org's terms and applicable law. How we measure.

Estimate recorded billing-event charges
Dataset file date: 2026-10-27; this does not date each tool’s recorded price. See tool observations in the table. Quantities refer to the selected tool’s billing event, not a result count. Changing tools clears both quantities; enter a workload for the new unit.
Partial estimate only: excludes other charge events, platform compute, subscriptions, taxes and unknown charges. No output requirements are inferred. Run-start charges are included only when a numeric rate is recorded and a run count is supplied.
