FAQ

Frequently asked

How do you choose what to test?

We start with the options operators in our community actually use, then add the ones our readers ask about. We don't accept paid placements.

How often is the ranking updated?

We re-test every 90 days and update the ranking whenever pricing, features, or support quality changes meaningfully.

Do you accept affiliate commissions?

Some links are affiliate, but inclusion in the ranking is never paid. The order would be identical without any commissions.

Can I suggest an option to add?

Yes — email the team and we'll evaluate it for the next round of testing if it fits the criteria.

What criteria do you score on?

Onboarding time, day-to-day workflow, support response, total cost over 12 months, and how easy it is to migrate away if you outgrow it.
