Methodology

What we score

1. Public pricing — list prices from vendor pages, dated (e.g. September 2026). If a figure is uncertain or the page changed, we say so.
2. Pays for itself when… — a concrete condition (hours saved, tools replaced, or revenue at risk).
3. Skip if… — honest exit criteria so you do not buy shelfware.
4. Seat and credit traps — extra users, expiring credits, annual lock-in.
5. Stack fit — whether it replaces something you already pay for, or stacks on top.

What we do not do

• No fake testimonials, star ratings, or “as seen in” logos.
• No invented traffic numbers or user counts.
• No fake street address, phone, or EIN on this site.
• We do not claim hands-on lab access we do not have; editorial judgment is labeled as such.

Affiliate relationships

Some outbound links use /go/<slug> placeholders until affiliate programs approve this property. Commissions never change the “skip if” advice. See disclosure.

Updates

Pricing sections are labeled with a check month. Vendors change plans often — always confirm on the vendor site before you buy.
