How we write these guides

  • Prices from the vendor

    Every price and license is taken from the vendor’s pricing page, with the date we checked it.

  • Drawbacks included

    Each guide names the limits of a lifetime deal: site caps, support windows and paid add-ons.

  • Opinions are labeled

    When we recommend a plugin, it is marked as our take, based on vendor information, not a test.

  • Ads don’t buy a review

    Affiliate links and booked ad spots never change the deals we pick or the drawbacks we name.
