Subscription pricing & the Price Index

The real recurring price of a subscription or cam-token bundle on each priced site, and the median across the basket (the AWC Price Index).

How it’s collected

Read from each site’s actual join / checkout flow with a hand-built per-site extractor, rendered through a US IP so the currency is USD, and recorded as a snapshot-on-change price history. The median across the basket is recorded monthly.

Known limits

• The basket is small and hand-built — it is not the whole industry, and the site count is always shown beside the figure.
• Advertised “from $1” teaser prices are excluded; only the standing recurring amount is used.
• Non-USD readings are excluded, never converted.

Every figure in this dataset is drawn from the source above and dated. This is measured, first-party data — where a number is an estimate it is labelled as one. This site is in development.
