Change tracking
Current snapshot first; history comes next
This page shows the latest verified subscription snapshot. Future What changed entries will attach material price, tier, model-access, feature and offer changes to this subscription family and, when relevant, to the specific plan affected. iilib will publish that history only after structured change records are available.
How to judge value
iilib does not assign a universal value score. Subscription value depends on what you actually need: model access, usage level, coding, research, media generation, integrations, storage or bundled services. The visible plan facts are intended to make that trade-off inspectable.
