How this comparison is made
Every row about the other tool comes from its own public pages (pricing, privacy, terms, about, FAQ), read on the date above. “Not stated on the pages we checked” means we did not find it there; it is not an accusation. Prices and terms change, so confirm them with the vendor before deciding. We do not publish verdicts on a competitor’s output quality, because we have not measured it under the same conditions.
