How we work

- Our comparison tables show the key features side-by-side so you can decide fast.
- Whenever possible, we check setup flows, app UX, basic leak/feature behavior and renewal terms using public info and trials.
- We avoid exaggerated claims and always note when features vary by plan/region.
