Re-checked every price claim on the comparison pages against the competitors' own pages on 2026-08-02.

Confirmed unchanged: iLovePDF ($7/mo, $48/yr, 1–25 users) and Otter.ai (Pro $16.99/$8.33, Business $30/$19.99, 300 free minutes).

Now stated precisely: TinyPNG's API pricing was hedged as "a sliding scale" — it is 500 free compressions/month, then $0.009 each to 10,000 and $0.002 beyond.

Newly resolved: iLovePDF's /faq and /privacy_policy 404'd last time, so the page hedged its server-side processing claim on homepage marketing copy. /help/faq is reachable and states files are kept "for a maximum of 2 hours" then "completely removed forever from our servers" — now quoted verbatim.

Still unverifiable: Smallpdf and Adobe render prices client-side; a second attempt failed for both. Those pages continue to state no price at all, which is the correct outcome — the remaining TODO markers document an absence rather than an unverified public claim.

Arabic copy updated in lockstep with every changed figure.

Gates: tsc clean, 1282 tests passing, lint 0 errors, validate 152/152.

- iLovePDF: prices re-confirmed; /help/faq is reachable (the URLs tried
  previously 404'd) and gives a first-party retention window, now quoted
  verbatim instead of hedged on homepage copy
- TinyPNG: per-compression API prices stated exactly ($0.009 / $0.002)
  instead of "a sliding scale"
- Otter.ai: per-seat prices and minute limits re-confirmed unchanged
- Smallpdf and Adobe pricing remain unreadable server-side after a second
  attempt; both pages continue to state no price, which is correct
- Arabic copy kept in sync with every changed figure
