How We Test the Tools that We Feature in Our Articles

apple devices for testThere are two main types of the content where you can encounter tools: reviews and How To guides. When we cover a new topic and notice that there are tools that we haven’t used before, we write a Review article that lists top software in the niche. It helps us to understand the niche better and get acquainted with the tools that we can use afterwards.

Here are some examples of such articles:

The content of our Review articles is primarily compiled by a tech specialist who selects and rigorously tests the tools before forming an opinion. The author’s objective is to present this information in a clear and concise manner.

We maintain impartiality in our reviews; no compensation is received for featuring products. The ranking of tools is based on performance and factors like price, user experience, and feature set. We also do not publish third-party content to maintain integrity and reliability of our reviews.

In some instances, we purchase the full version of a tool to test and review it comprehensively to help you make an informed purchase decision. We actually review the tools and form our opinion about them. The tool must deliver best results, have reasonable price and an appealing interface.
