How We Source Product Facts

Search tools change quickly. We try to make it obvious what comes from the company, what is our judgment, and when a changeable fact was checked.

For product facts

Pricing, plan names, documented features, API limits and privacy claims should come from first-party documentation whenever possible. We link those sources on the relevant tool page.

For our recommendations

“Best for,” “easier to use,” and similar conclusions are our editorial judgments. A company can document its price or feature; it cannot prove that it is the best choice for you.

For our own tests

If we publish a test result, we should show the task, date, rules and limitations. If we did not run a repeatable test, we do not label an impression as benchmark data.

Freshness

A visible checked date is more useful than a vague “updated recently” label. We only move that date when the changeable information on the page has actually been checked.
