How we research
Every price, plan or integration we publish is stored once with its source URL and check date, so the same fact reads the same on every page. Products are ranked by a published score, without knowing which vendors pay us.
Facts, not impressions
Every input is a sourced fact with the date we last checked it.
Missing data scores zero
We never assume a feature; unverified items lower the confidence label.
Independent of revenue
Rankings are computed before and without knowing which vendors pay us.
