Our methodology
Every listing is built from facts we can point to: vendor pricing pages, official documentation and public review sources. We record when each fact was last checked and show that date on the page. Where a fact is not known, we mark it as unknown rather than guessing.
- Pricing carries a verification date and source.
- Sponsored and affiliate placements are labelled and scored separately from organic ranking.
- Ratings show their provenance; we never fabricate reviews or “independent” claims.
