How we research and write

Where the numbers come from

Our studies use the same measurements as the product: real buyer questions, asked several times on each engine, with every answer kept word for word. Each study states how many questions and answers it rests on, when they were collected, from which country and in which language, and gives the range around each rate. The method is the one on How we measure.

How we check facts

• Every number comes from our own data or from a source we link, with the date we last opened it.
• The “Checked” date under each title is the last time we went through every fact and figure on the page.
• We don’t describe features a product doesn’t have, ours included. Engines we don’t measure yet are called “coming soon”.

How we compare tools

• Comparisons use what each company publishes: pricing pages, documentation and public reviews, each linked and dated.
• We say where other tools do better than ours. We only write “we tested” when we have used the product ourselves.
• We recheck comparison pages every month, because prices and plans change.
• Nobody pays to appear in, or to be left out of, our comparisons, and we earn no commission from the tools we review.

How we use AI

We use AI tools to help research and draft, as most teams now do. They never supply a number: figures come from our measurements or a cited source. A person on our team reviews and approves every piece before it is published.

Corrections

When we change a published page, we say so: the list of changes sits at the end of each article, with dates. If you spot a mistake, tell us and we will fix it and note the change.

Our interests

Menzio is a paid product, and our articles link to it, mostly to the free AI visibility checker. When a comparison includes Menzio, it says so. You can read more about us.
