- Software prices are re-checked automatically every day where the pricing page allows it, and every change is logged.
- Rankings come from the data: well-known direct replacements first, then the closest matches by shared features and platforms. Commissions never change the order.
- We only list legal services. Health topics are information only and always point you to a licensed clinician.
- Star ratings come only from reviews by registered users. We never invent ratings or reviews.
