What a listing gets you

Four levels. None of them buys a verdict, and a product that pays nothing still gets compared.

Editorial Nothing here is bought. The desk writes the ranking.
Maintained

Listing

A product page we keep current: pricing, strengths, weaknesses, a screenshot and a link to you.

€49 per month

Included

  • A profile page with your pricing table, strengths and weaknesses, a screenshot and a normal outbound link.
  • A factual correction within five working days of a report.
  • Quarterly price and feature refresh, so the page does not go stale.

Not included

  • A place in a ranking. Comparisons are editorial and we include products that pay us nothing.
  • Any influence on your score or your position.

Included

  • A dated "Verified" marker on your profile, re-checked every quarter.
  • A named contact at the desk for factual corrections.
  • Your pricing table checked against your public pricing page, with the access date shown.

The editorial firewall

Money never buys a ranking, a score or a kind word. Our scores are set by the desk against published criteria, before any commercial conversation. Sponsored placements are labelled on every surface they appear on, they sit outside the ranked list, and every paid link is nofollow. If we think your product is the wrong choice for a use case, we will write that, and paying us will not change it. You can buy visibility here. You cannot buy a verdict.

  • Paid placement. It did not buy the ranking or the score.
  • Sponsored
  • nofollow
