Fit Score measures fit for a small-business buyer from public evidence, not absolute protection. Lab tests: filled = result within 18 months, outlined = older, dotted = no public result. Prices are list, per seat per year at the fleet size selected; Microsoft is licensed per user. “Min N” means the smallest purchase is N seats; “Via sales” means that fleet size is above the vendor's online maximum.

Sourced and dated

Prices come from each vendor's own store or calculator at 10, 25 and 100 seats, captured with a dated screenshot. Lab results link to the lab's own report.

Ranked by a published formula

Price, published and level 25
Easy for a small team 25
Feature coverage 15

Fit for a small business, not a verdict on protection.

Checked weekly, corrected in public

Prices and lab results are re-checked every week. Every change and correction is logged, and the whole dataset is free to reuse under CC BY 4.0.
