Review & Comparison Methodology
Last updated: September 26, 2026
Principles
- Transparent criteria, shown on every comparison.
- No automatic winners — we explain who each option suits.
- No fabricated numbers: prices, ratings and performance figures are only published when measured or verified, with a date.
- Every profile shows a verification status and last verified date.
AI tools
We evaluate tools on real tasks relevant to website builders and marketers: planning, writing, coding, automation and research. We record the plan tested and the date, because features change often.
Website builders & platforms
We assess ownership and portability, SEO control, performance defaults, extensibility, maintenance burden and total cost of ownership using official pricing pages.
Hosting
Hosting reviews document test sites, locations, dates and tools used for any performance figures. We contact support with realistic questions and record response quality. Renewal prices are checked on official pages.
Verification
Directory entries start as "pending verification". An editor confirms details on the official website and records the date before an entry is marked verified.
Affiliate relationships
Affiliate relationships never affect criteria, scores or conclusions. Affiliate links use rel="sponsored" and are disclosed.
