terms of use

using this site

by using verifier.org you agree to these terms. if you don't, please don't use the site. that's the whole deal — there's no account to create and nothing to sign.

the rankings are editorial opinion

everything on this site is independent editorial opinion, built from primary-source research — vendor pricing pages, licence files, product docs, and independent measurement where it exists. it is not a controlled laboratory benchmark, and it is not professional, legal, financial, or procurement advice.

do your own verification before you buy, build on, or ship anything based on what you read here. prices, licences, limits and features in this category change constantly, and part of the site is out of date the moment it publishes — the date on each ranking tells you when we last checked it.

accuracy & corrections

we work hard to get the facts right and to admit where we couldn't verify something, but we make no warranty that the site is accurate, complete, or current. where we get something wrong, we fix it — tell us and we'll correct it faster than we'll defend it.

advertising & affiliate disclosure

the site carries advertising and uses affiliate links on some outbound vendor links, meaning we may earn a commission if you sign up after clicking through. these arrangements pay for the site; they have no input into any ranking, score, or line of copy, and where we operate a tool ourselves its entry carries a disclosure. this is spelled out on the methodology and privacy pages.

links to other sites

we link out to vendors and sources. we don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content, their pricing, their terms, or what they do with your data once you leave verifier.org. when you click through, their terms and privacy policies apply, not ours.

intellectual property

the writing, rankings, and design on verifier.org are ours. you're welcome to quote or cite us with attribution and a link, but please don't republish pages wholesale or scrape the site to reproduce it. product names, logos, and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used for identification only.

no liability

the site is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind. to the fullest extent the law allows, we aren't liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or your reliance on anything in it — including any decision to buy or build on a tool we covered.

changes to these terms

we may update these terms; the date at the top of the page shows when they last changed. continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
