Our Comparison Methodology
At Simply Compare, we believe in transparency. This page explains exactly how we create our educational comparisons and what sources we use to ensure accuracy and fairness.
Our Research Process
1. Information Gathering
We collect information from multiple publicly available sources:
- Official product websites and documentation
- Public pricing pages and feature lists
- User reviews from reputable platforms
- Industry reports and analyses
- Public forums and community discussions
2. Evaluation Criteria
Each comparison is evaluated based on consistent criteria:
- Features: Core functionality and capabilities
- Usability: Ease of use and learning curve
- Pricing: Cost structure and value proposition
- Support: Customer service and documentation quality
- Integration: Compatibility with other tools
- Scalability: Ability to grow with user needs
3. Neutral Analysis
Our comparisons are designed to be educational and unbiased:
- We do not rank products as "best" or "worst"
- We present both advantages and considerations for each option
- We focus on helping users understand what might work for their specific needs
- We avoid emotional language or pressure tactics
Quality Assurance
Fact Checking
All information is verified against official sources before publication. We regularly update our comparisons to reflect changes in features, pricing, or availability.
Regular Updates
We review and update our comparisons quarterly or when significant changes occur to the compared products or services.
Source Attribution
We provide direct links to official websites so users can verify information and get the most current details directly from providers.
What We Don't Do
- We don't accept payment for favorable reviews or rankings
- We don't make definitive recommendations about which product is "best"
- We don't guarantee the accuracy of third-party pricing or features
- We don't provide personalized advice for specific business situations
Limitations
Our comparisons have certain limitations users should be aware of:
- Information is based on publicly available sources and may not reflect the complete feature set
- Pricing and features can change without notice
- Individual experiences may vary based on specific use cases
- We cannot test every feature of every product in-depth
Feedback and Corrections
If you notice any inaccuracies in our comparisons, please contact us. We appreciate feedback from users and providers to help us maintain the accuracy of our information.
Independence
Simply Compare operates independently. While we may earn commissions from some external links, this does not influence our comparison content or methodology. All comparisons are created using the same neutral process regardless of any potential commercial relationships.
