Look elsewhere if

- Not for you if you want a free plan or trial, as none is shown
- Watch out: VantagePoint and BrandVerity are separate platforms, not part of the partnership product
- Tight if you want an API or integrations list: none appears on the listing
Pick TUNE if

- Works for a brand with budget for a customer success manager and professional services
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you are a small brand: $1,500 a month paid annually is the starting plan
- Not for you if you want to try before you talk to sales, as there is no trial or self-serve sign-up
- Watch out: onboarding and partner payments are fee-based, and the page gives no amounts
- Tight if you pass 2,500 conversions a month, since the extra is not priced on the page

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.
