How the data is collected

Listings are built from each vendor's own site. Pricing pages are re-read monthly; privacy, security, feature and changelog pages every two months.

A privacy or capability fact is recorded only when it can be matched to the vendor's own wording. When a page doesn't say, we record “not stated” rather than guess. Prices are the cheapest paid plan per month as the vendor lists it.

You can cite this page; please link to it. Vendors who see an error can claim their listing and correct it.
