Our method
How we review, in four lines
01
We label the evidence
Each piece says whether it is built from documentation, hands-on testing, or is not yet independently tested.
02
We cite primary sources
Official pricing, policy and help pages first, each listed with the date we checked it.
03
No pay-for-verdict
Money never changes a conclusion. Any future affiliate link will be disclosed on the page.
04
We correct in the open
When a detail is wrong or out of date, we fix it and show the updated date. Read the full method.
