Methodology

Each category page is built in four steps: feature verification against vendor documentation, review aggregation from public sources, structured scoring, and a named-editor review before publication.

Scoring

Features 40%, ease of use 30%, value 30%. Scores are relative within a category, not across categories.

Pricing

Pricing is read from each vendor's public pricing page and dated. Vendors can submit corrections at any time; corrected entries are marked "verified" with the verification month.

Updates

Every page shows its last-updated date. Pages are re-checked at least quarterly; the date changes only when content changes.

Vendor listings

Inclusion is free and editorial. Vendors may purchase a verified profile (pricing and positioning confirmed by the vendor, plus a dated announcement page). Paid profiles do not affect scores or ranking position.
