How we review tools

Every comparison follows the same process, so you can judge how much weight to give it.

Where the facts come from

Pages start from the vendors' own documentation and independent reviews. Each page lists its sources at the bottom. When a source is written by a vendor, or is partner content, we say so on the page and treat its claims as the vendor's own.

What we have and have not tested

Where we have used a tool ourselves, the page says so and includes our own screenshots or notes. Where we have not, the page says that its details come from the sources listed. We do not claim hands-on testing we have not done.

How we use AI

We use AI tools to help research and draft pages. A person reads, checks and edits every page before it is published, and checks prices, plans and features against the vendor's site.

Prices and dates

Every page shows the date it was last checked. Prices and plans change often, so confirm them on the vendor's site before you buy. We re-check every page at least every 90 days.

How we rank

Our verdicts depend on who the tool suits, what it costs to start, and the drawbacks. Whether a vendor pays a commission does not change a recommendation.

Corrections

If you spot an error or an out-of-date detail, tell us through the contact page. We fix factual errors promptly and update the date on the page.
