Every comparison on StackSwitchHub follows the same process. This page explains it so you can judge our work for yourself.
1. We start with vendor sources
Pricing, plan limits, trial terms and feature availability come from each vendor’s own pricing pages, plan comparison tables, help-center articles and official documentation. Where we use an independent source (for example, a third party that has logged a vendor’s full pricing ladder), we say so on the page.
2. We price tools at realistic sizes
Entry prices rarely tell the full story. We look at what you would pay as your list, contacts or team grow, and on which billing term, so bracket jumps and long-commitment discounts are visible up front.
3. We compare what actually differs
We skip features every tool has and focus on the differences that affect a buying decision: automation depth, ecommerce tools, deliverability or security controls, support levels, and migration help.
4. We say who shouldn’t switch
Every guide includes a section on when the other option, often the simpler or cheaper one, is the better choice.
5. We don’t invent numbers
If we haven’t measured something ourselves, such as inbox placement or uptime, we don’t publish a percentage for it. Where a number is an example rather than a measurement, we label it as illustrative.
6. We date and re-check
Each guide shows the date it was last checked. We re-check pricing periodically and when vendors announce changes or promotions, and update the page and date when something changes.
