How we review

Our methodology — written plainly, so you know exactly what our verdicts are worth.

Most "review" sites are thin pages built to harvest affiliate clicks. We're trying to be the opposite. This page explains how our reviews are made, where their limits are, and how we make money — because a review is only useful if you can trust where it comes from.

Who writes these

Reviews are written by Daniel Haket, who spent two decades in international banking before building this. That background matters here: the job trained me to tell real value from hype, to read pricing and fine print carefully, and to be sceptical of a good pitch. Where I'm uncertain, I say so on the page.

Two kinds of assessment — and we label which is which

We're honest about depth, because pretending to have used every tool would be a lie:

How we form a verdict

For each tool we look at what it actually does, who it's genuinely for, the real cost (including the parts vendors bury), the honest trade-offs, and the best alternative if it isn't the right fit. Every review states plainly who should not buy it — a review without a downside isn't a review, it's an ad. Where we give a rating, it's our own editorial judgement; we don't invent ratings or review counts to manufacture trust.

Pricing

Software pricing changes constantly and varies by region. We describe how a tool's pricing is structured and where the hidden costs are, but we ask you to confirm the current numbers on the provider's own site before deciding. We do not publish fake or "exclusive" discounts.

How we make money

Many of our outbound links are affiliate links: if you sign up through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That is the entire business model, and we're upfront about it. Crucially: commission never buys a better verdict, and rankings are never for sale. We'd rather lose a commission than recommend the wrong tool and lose your trust.

What we will never do

Corrections

Tools improve and change. If something here is out of date or wrong, tell us via the About page and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more than being right the first time.
