How we compare

Every comparison on HostSoftLab follows the same rules:

• Published sources only. Prices, plan limits and features come from each vendor's own pricing pages, help centers and official documentation. The date we checked is printed on every article.
• No hands-on claims. We do not run the software on live listings, so we never write "in our testing". Where a judgement depends on use, we say what it depends on instead.
• No vendor marketing figures. Revenue-lift percentages and similar claims published by vendors are left out, or labelled as vendor claims when they are the subject of the article.
• Free baselines are named. When a platform already includes a free version of the job (for example Airbnb's built-in pricing), comparisons say so.
• Affiliate disclosure. Some links are affiliate links. If you sign up through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never changes a price we print: prices are copied from the vendor's page, not negotiated.

Corrections: prices change. If a figure here no longer matches a vendor's page, the vendor's page is right and ours is out of date — we re-check prices on a schedule and update the check date.
