This page explains exactly how comparisons on this site are built, and where money changes hands.
How pricing is verified
Pricing and feature details are checked against each vendor's own published rate card and product update logs. We do not rely on secondhand pricing databases or outdated screenshots. Checks happen on a quarterly cycle, and any page that has gone stale in between gets flagged for an update.
How we handle affiliate relationships
Some links on this site are affiliate links, marked with a note near the link itself. If you sign up for a product through one of them, we may earn a commission. That relationship does not determine which product is recommended first in a comparison. Where a lower-commission or no-commission option is the better fit for a given business size, that is what gets recommended.
What we will not do
- Accept payment in exchange for a ranking or a positive review
- Publish a comparison without checking current pricing first
- Fabricate star ratings or review counts we have not actually collected

Frequently Asked Questions
How often do you re-check pricing?
Every vendor page is checked against published pricing on a quarterly cycle. If something changes in between, and we catch it, the page gets updated right away rather than waiting for the next cycle.
Do vendors pay to be featured or ranked higher?
No. Placement and ranking are never for sale. Some links are affiliate links, disclosed on every page, but that relationship does not change which product gets recommended first.
What happens if a review turns out to be wrong?
It gets corrected. Reach out through the contact link in the footer with what looks off, and we will check it against the vendor's current published information.
Do you test the software yourselves, or just compare published specs?
Both. The people behind this site implement much of this software directly for contractor clients, and that hands-on experience gets combined with each vendor's published documentation and pricing, verified on the quarterly cycle described above.
