## How to read our reviews

- Every rating on the site is our own editorial score out of 5. We do not publish
  third-party scores from G2, Capterra, Trustpilot or Amazon, because we cannot
  verify them at the moment you are reading a page. Where a page discusses outside
  reviews, it describes the recurring themes and points you to the live listing
  rather than quoting a number.
- Pricing figures are taken from the vendor's own pricing page at the time of
  writing. Vendors change prices without notice, so treat the vendor page as
  authoritative.
- Pages contain affiliate links. Ideal Online Business may earn a commission when a
  reader signs up through one. This does not change the editorial rating or the
  contents of a review.
- Reviews are written from vendor documentation, public product information and
  hands-on use where available. They are not sponsored placements.
