How we compare

  1. Facts from the vendor's own pages. Every claim about another product links to where the vendor says it.
  2. Prices with the date we checked them. Prices change, so each page shows the day it was checked.
  3. Where the product wins, we say so. A ready-made product is often the right answer for a small team with standard processes.
