Questions
The obvious ones.
The vendor's own pricing page and documentation. Every review, comparison and tool profile ends with a table listing each figure, the document it came from, and the date a human opened that document.
No. We compare what vendors publish rather than measuring anything ourselves. If a benchmark ever appears here it will belong to the group named beside it and link to their published result.
Our judgment against a fixed rubric, weighted the same way for every tool in a category. The rubric is published in full on the methodology page precisely so that the judgment can be argued with.
No. We do not accept payment for placement and no vendor sees a page before it publishes. The disclosure sits directly above every affiliate link rather than in the footer.
Each figure carries the date it was checked, shown beside it and again in the source ledger. AI pricing changes frequently, so check the vendor's own page before you buy. Where our page and theirs disagree, theirs is right and ours is stale.
The field stays empty. An empty field means we did not find it, which is a different statement from the feature being absent, and we are careful never to write one as the other.
