A review is only worth something if the person writing it has actually used the thing. Here's what that means on this site.
What "tested" means here
- I use it on my own business. Not a free trial clicked through for screenshots. I set it up for real work, on a real site, list or video.
- I use it long enough to hit the annoying parts. Usually at least a month. Every tool looks good on day one.
- I show you my own screenshots. Not the vendor's marketing images.
- I say what it cost me. Free plan, paid plan, and anything that surprised me on the bill.
- Sign upwith my own account
- Use it for realon this business
- Track the costwhat I actually pay
- Screenshotsmine, not the vendor's
- Verdictincluding who should skip it
When I haven't tested something
Sometimes a page compares tools I haven't used, because you asked or because it fills a gap. When that happens, the page says so plainly, and anything I say about that tool comes from its own website, its pricing page or its documentation, with a link so you can check.
What I never do
- Publish star ratings or scores I can't back up.
- Invent results, testimonials or screenshots.
- Rank a tool higher because it pays a bigger commission.
- Leave out a cheaper or free option that does the job.
Commissions
Some tools pay me when you sign up through my link. That keeps the site running and never costs you extra. If a tool with a big commission isn't good, it doesn't get recommended, and you'll often see me point you to a free option first. The full details are on the disclosure page.
