All tools in Ad Creatives & Ad Inspiration

Method

How the comparison is made

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.
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.
