Our comparison rules
- • Verified on the competitor's own site, not from third-party listicles. Date at the bottom of every comparison.
- • Credit where it's due — when a competitor has a feature we don't, we say so plainly. We don't hide it.
- • No fake checkmarks. "partial" means partial. "—" means absent.
- • Footnoted superlatives. Soft claims like "few plugins do this" carry the date and the methodology we used to check.
- • Open to correction. If we got something wrong, email admin@nsrelmtagr.com. We correct + date the change.
