HOW WE EVALUATE

Better decisions start with clear assumptions.

We're not selling you a mystery score. Every comparison starts with published limits, pricing mechanics and real tradeoffs. You can follow the source and judge the conclusion yourself.

Open the source-led comparison
01

Use official provider terms

Limits, definitions, promotional caveats and account restrictions come before headlines.

02

Separate price from fit

The cheapest advertised entry tier may be wrong for your sending volume or automation needs.

03

Show where certainty ends

We call out variable pricing, trial limitations and what must be checked at checkout.
