How we review

A Score You Can Argue With

Every tool is scored out of 10 on the same five dimensions, so a 7.5 in email means what a 7.5 in SEO means. The reasoning is written down so you can disagree with it.

  1. Output qualityHow much of what the tool produces survives a competent review.
  2. Workflow fitWhether it slots into how marketing teams already work, or demands a new process.
  3. Ease of useHow quickly a marketer who is not a specialist becomes productive.
  4. ValueWhat it costs against the hours or spend it credibly saves at realistic volume.
  5. Support and docsDocumentation quality, transparency of terms and responsiveness when something breaks.
  • Relationships disclosed

    Where a commercial relationship exists it is labelled on the page it appears on, and we do not send drafts to vendors for approval before publishing.

  • Every claim sourced

    Pricing, limits and licensing trace back to the vendor’s own documentation, listed at the end of each review.

  • Never vendor copy

    Every card and verdict is written by us. The build fails if marketing language creeps into a summary.
