Pros & cons

Strengths and compromises

Each tool's published strengths and the compromises that come with them, as supplied — not scored or ranked against each other. Longer lists fold; nothing is left out.

Pricing

What each one costs

Published pricing signals only. Where a tool has not established a price, that is what it says — never a zero and never "free".
