Our methodology

Every tool is tested hands-on for at least 2 weeks on real projects. We score on 5 criteria: output quality, speed, reliability, pricing value, and workflow fit. Each gets a 1-10 score, weighted equally. We pay for our own subscriptions โ€” no free accounts from vendors. Affiliate links never affect scores.
