How we grade them
| 1.8GPABeameryWeak | 1.8GPAGloatWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is published, so we grade it as ordinary until the vendor says otherwise. | CNo price is published, so we can't set it against the $74 to $149 a month this category charges. That leaves it at C. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan and no trial, and the call to action is Book a demo. | FNo free plan and no trial is listed; the site routes you to a demo. A demo request isn't a trial. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
