Compare · Methodology
How we write compares
TL;DR. Compares are educational orientation—not rankings, not affiliate funnels. We name shared jobs-to-be-done, tell you what to verify live, and link related spokes. Zero partner URLs in this build.
Claim ladder Pricing and feature matrices are Unknown until vendor-verified; no scorecrowns. See editorial standards and compare methodology.
Rules
- No live affiliate links, tracking redirects, or “buy now” CTAs.
- No scorecrowns or fabricated market-share claims.
- Vendor marks belong to their owners; no endorsement.
- Feature matrices drift—re-check current pricing and integrations.
Affiliate go-live checklist (not live)
Before any future affiliate compare ships, we require: on-page disclosure, disclosures.html update, distinct “sponsored/affiliate” labeling, working disclosure link in the card, and a Money specialist sign-off. None of that is enabled here.
