Methodology & Trust
How we test, how often we recheck, and what we disclose
Every last-verified date, risk flag, and disclosure elsewhere on this site points back to the process explained here.
How we actually test a migration
Each Migration Guide documents a move we performed ourselves, on real accounts, with real data — not a summary of vendor documentation or forum threads. We export from the source app the way a reader would, import into the destination app the way a reader would, and record what actually happened at each step: how many steps it took, what broke, what silently didn't transfer, and any error a reader is likely to hit along the way. Community reports (Reddit threads, vendor forums) are treated as leads to personally verify before they appear in a known-issues log — never quoted as fact on their own.
How often we recheck
Pricing tiers, export limits, and import-tool behavior change without much notice from vendors, so a comparison or profile is only as trustworthy as its last check-in. Every Comparison and Profile carries a visible last-verified date. When we notice a vendor has changed pricing, a plan tier, or an export limit, we recheck and update the relevant page and its date — we do not let a stale figure sit indefinitely. If you spot something that looks out of date, the correction link at the bottom of any Comparison or Profile reports it straight to us.
Our affiliate policy
Every Comparison states plainly whether any link in it is affiliated. Where we do not disclose an affiliate relationship, there isn't one. We do not accept undisclosed payment or free access in exchange for a favorable "not for you if" list, a pricing summary, or a migration risk rating — the entire value of this site is that its judgment calls are not for sale.
