How we review

More about us

We read everything

The full sales page, the order form and the refund terms, including the fine print.

We flag what we can't verify

Big plan counts, customer numbers and savings claims are called out when no evidence backs them.

We never fake it

No invented star ratings, no testimonials we can't check, and no claims that we built what we didn't.
