How we test
Our reviews are only as trustworthy as the testing behind them. Here's exactly how we work.
Hands-on, every time
We use each tool on genuine, real-world tasks — not a quick demo. For most tools that means days or weeks of daily use before we score anything.
What we score
Every tool is judged on the same criteria: output quality, speed, price and value, privacy and data handling, and how it feels to actually live with. We weight these and show the reasoning openly in each review.
No paid placements
Rankings and scores cannot be bought. We make money from advertising and affiliate links, but those never influence a verdict, and we disclose them clearly.
We update when things change
Tools change — pricing shifts, features ship, quality moves. When something material changes we revisit the review and update the score, noting the date.
