Method
How the comparison is made
- Every claim has a source
For every feature, price and privacy statement we store the page it comes from and the review date. Both are shown in the tool profile.
- Unknown stays unknown
If something is not stated by the provider, we show "no information". We do not guess and do not derive anything from advertising texts.
- Commission does not change the order
The default order counts the features both tools offer according to the provider, then alphabetical order applies; for a discontinued tool, the successor comes first. You can sort by entry price or name. The sorting does not account for whether a provider pays commission. Advertising links are labelled individually.
