Head-to-head
Pick two and they go on the same six rows: pricing, real monthly cost, free tier, biggest strength, last verified, saves. The better cell in each row gets highlighted. Underneath, a verdict that names one and tells you what it would take to justify the other.
Pick two tools to compare.
Every pairing generates a shareable comparison with a verdict.
How the verdict gets decided
Cost carries the most weight, because it's the row people get wrong. We use the plan you'll realistically end up on, divided down to a month if it bills annually. A tool that's technically free but useless below the $20 tier gets compared at $20.
A real free tier breaks close calls. Being able to try something on your own work before paying is worth more than a marginal feature win. Trials sit in their own bucket: handy, but you're on a clock.
Then the verified date. Pricing here changes month to month, and a comparison built on last year's numbers is worse than no comparison at all.
