Method

How to read this profile

The whole method

  • 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.

  • Reviews come from third parties

    Ratings come from OMR Reviews, G2 or Capterra, each with the number of reviews and the retrieval date. Each row in a list shows the same platform: the one on which most tools in the list are rated. Under 10 reviews, the rating is shown without a bar. Trustpilot and app stores rate the company or the app; they appear only in the profile. Social Rocket does not award its own rating.
