How we compare

The same sheet, filled in from the vendor's own terms.

We start from each vendor's pricing page and terms of service, then fill gaps from review and listing sites, labelled as estimates wherever they appear. A separate fact-check re-opens every source before a page goes live. No vendor pays for placement or for a better verdict.

Methodology → Data changelog →
