How we rate and rank software

Editorial rating

Each tool gets four scores out of 10: ease of use, features, value and support. The rating out of 5 is the average of the four scores divided by two. Scores come from the vendor pricing page, documentation and, where possible, a trial account.

Member upvotes

The leaderboard ranks tools by upvotes from members with a confirmed email. Each member gets one vote per tool. Trending shows upvotes from the last 7 days.

What never affects a position

Payment, affiliate commissions and vendor requests never change a rating, ranking, verdict or comparison winner. Sponsored listings are labelled and excluded from every board. Our full method is on the How we evaluate software page.
