How we analyze every tool

No landing-page copy-paste. This is what we do before publishing a review.

  1. Real use case

    We define a concrete scenario — write a post, ship an ad, refactor a repo.

  2. Direct comparison

    We contrast against at least 2 direct alternatives on features, quality and price.

  3. Verified data

    Pricing, limits and features cross-checked against official sources and documented real-user experience.

  4. Honest verdict

    Who it's for, who it isn't, and the cheapest alternative if there is one.
