How we compare
The same rules on every comparison page, so you can trust what each one says about the other app.
- Every fact about another company comes from that company's own website, and each one links to the page it came from.
- Each page shows the day its facts were checked, and we check them again at least every three months, because prices change.
- Prices are list prices as each company's site showed them that day. Where a monthly and an annual price differ, the page says which is which.
- If a company's site doesn't say something, we leave it out rather than guess.
- Each page says plainly when the other app is the better fit for you.
