Method
We reviewed Uptal's pages on 30 October 2026 at the links below and quote them as written. The price and monthly limit come from the structured data on the auto-apply page ("price":399,"priceCurrency":"SAR" and monthly_application_limit: 300). Price per application is the price divided by the maximum, so it is the lowest possible price per application there. If the pages change, we update the table and the date.
