How we write these comparisons

Comparison pages on the internet are usually thinly disguised sales copy. We try not to do that. Each page on this hub follows the same rules.

  • If the other app is genuinely better at something, we say so. There is always something.
  • Pricing changes too often to publish a number, so we describe the model (free, freemium, subscription) rather than guess at this month’s figure.
  • Where we cite research, we link to the actual paper or press release. No vague “studies show”.
  • Each page ends with the categories of person who should pick the other app, not just the ones who should pick Blanked.
  • If you spot something that has changed or that we got wrong, email us and we will update it.
