How we review & score software

Our process
- Shortlist: we pick five widely used tools in the category.
- Official sources only: prices, plans and features are taken from each vendor's own pricing and product pages. Every article shows the date we checked them.
- No guessing: if a detail can't be confirmed on the vendor's site, the comparison table shows "-" instead of an estimate.
- Scoring: four editorial sub-scores are weighted into one overall rating out of 10. Scores are our judgment, not lab measurements.
- Updates: when a vendor changes its pricing or plans, we update the article and its "Updated" date.
Spotted something out of date? Email [email protected] and we'll check it against the vendor's site.
Independence
Some outbound links may be affiliate links. Vendors cannot pay for placement or influence scores, and we list products we don't earn from whenever they deserve it.
