I only review software I have paid for and used.

I review the software I actually pay for, and I tell you when a link earns me money. Every score comes from a published six-criteria method, every review is signed, and the affiliate relationship is disclosed on the page, not buried in a footer.

I buy my own accountsNo vendor-supplied review units unless the page says so.
Published scoring methodSix weighted criteria, same rubric for every product in a category.
No paid placementsVendors cannot buy a score, a ranking, or a mention.
Signed reviewsMy name is on every page. If I get something wrong, you know who to email.

A note on how this site makes money

Some links on this site are affiliate links: if you buy through them, I may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
