The gap to second place is $0 a month. At this size the choice should be made on features, not price.
No two platforms break their tiers at the same place, so the one that is cheapest at 500 may not be cheapest at twice that. Each row above shows the bracket a list of 500 actually lands on and how much headroom is left before the next step.
