Understand the match. Make your own choice.
Candidate selection: only products linked by an editorial alternative relationship are considered. Relationships explain the shared workflow and its limits. A similar category alone does not create a comparison.
Requirements: a mandatory requirement must have a verified positive match. Unknown or incompatible data excludes the candidate. Missing platform and feature records mean unknown, not unsupported.
Formula: each satisfied criterion earns its weight. Unknown criteria earn zero. A verified mismatch subtracts one quarter of its weight. The score is 100 × (earned weight − penalties) / total weight, rounded and clamped to 0–100. Data coverage reports the weighted proportion of known criteria. No selected criteria means no score.
Scores describe structured product-level facts, not a guarantee that all features are available together on the cheapest plan. A free entry option counts as zero cost. Annual USD prices are divided by 12. One-time prices and other currencies are not converted to monthly budgets. Always check plan and edition notes.
Alternatives pages show feature overlap against the original product’s verified features. Find my alternative uses your selected requirements and weights. Ties are ordered by data coverage, then software slug. Sponsored and premium status and affiliate commissions are never inputs.
Verification is field-specific. Each source records its URL, access date, verification date, covered fields and notes. An unverified field stays explicitly unknown. Editors can review stale evidence; a recent check of one field does not verify the whole product.
Only reviewed pairs and sufficiently useful editorial guides have indexable pages. Query filters are noindex. A guide requires differentiated content and at least three matching alternatives.
