Five tools is the limit

A comparison stays readable up to five columns. Past that each product gets less room than its own checkmarks need, and the table turns into a spreadsheet nobody reads.

Untick one of the five to swap another tool in.
Tick two to five tools above and you get one table: every tool described by the same rows, filled from the same place, with the strongest figure in each row marked so you are not comparing by eye. There are 41 tools to choose from, and the shortlist you build has its own address you can send to somebody else.

What a comparison actually shows

Eleven rows, in this order: editor score, user reviews, pricing, whether there is a free plan, then the four criteria behind the score — ease of use, features, support, value for money — followed by categories, the tool's strongest point and its most common complaint.

Under the table sits the capability matrix: every function we track, ticked per tool, with a count of how many the tools disagree on and a list of what only one of them does. There is a switch to hide everything they have in common, which is usually the only part worth reading — two mature tools in the same category agree about far more than they differ on, and the differences are the decision.

Where the scores come from

The headline number is an editor score: the plain mean of four criteria, each out of five.

  • Ease of use — how long it takes a seller to get a real answer out of the tool.
  • Features — how much of the job it covers, checked against the capability matrix below.
  • Support — documentation, onboarding and how problems get resolved.
  • Value for money — what the plan you would actually need costs for what it does.

Every tool is scored on the same four, so the rows compare like with like. User reviews are not blended in: they sit in their own row with their own average, because a handful of reviews should inform you, not quietly move a number.

How to read one without fooling yourself

Compare tools that do the same job. A price tracker and a profit dashboard both have a rating, and putting them in one table produces a winner that means nothing.

Treat small gaps as noise. A tenth of a point between two tools is not a finding; half a point on one criterion that matters to you is.

Read the “top con” row before the rating. A tool can score well overall and still fail on the one thing your workflow depends on, and that row is where it usually shows up first.

Check what a free plan actually includes. “Free plan: yes” in the table means one exists, not that it covers the work you need done.

Questions about comparing

How many tools can I compare at once?

Between two and five. Past five each column gets less room than its own ticks need, and the table stops being readable on anything but a wide monitor.

Where does the score come from?

It is an editor score: the plain mean of four criteria — ease of use, features, support and value for money — each scored out of five for every tool in the same way. User reviews are counted and averaged separately and shown in their own row, so you can see where users and editors disagree.

What does a highlighted cell mean?

The best figure in that row among the tools you picked. On the pricing row it marks the lowest price, which is not the same thing as the best value — that is what the value-for-money row is for.

Why is a tool shown as “not yet rated”?

Our editors have not scored all four criteria for it yet. Showing it as 0.0, or quietly as the site average, would both be worse: one punishes a tool for being new, the other invents evidence.

Can I link to a comparison?

Yes. Any two-tool comparison has its own permanent address in the form /compare/one-vs-another, and a comparison you build with the tick boxes redirects there by itself.

Do discontinued tools still work here?

Old links to them keep resolving, so nothing you shared in the past breaks. The picker above only ever offers tools that are still live.
