Methodology
How we keep these honest.
Comparison pages are marketing, and everyone knows it. Here is how we keep ours useful anyway: every competitor cell comes from public documentation, published pricing, or first-hand testing — never from sales-call hearsay. Every page shows its last-reviewed date. And where an alternative is genuinely the better fit, we say so on the page itself.
Sourced, not assumed
Competitor capabilities cite their own public materials, dated at review time.
We concede in writing
Custom builds win on bespoke UX and code ownership. Options apps win on price for simple personalization. A quote form still fits one-off bespoke work. Each page says so.
